Good luck.
Try the reel, it's the easiest place to make money. Every reel is a bit unbalanced and there are some numbers that come out more often than others. Observe the game pattern for ~10-20 minutes and then place small amounts of money on the three numbers who get out the most often.
Works every time.

I prefer craps. What is the reel? Roulette?

Reel = roulette. I didn't know you use the french term "roulette" even in english. I made a free translation, but I was wrong.

Professional gamblers stay away from roulette, craps and keno. All have odds overwhelmingly in the favor of the house.
Blackjack is OK if you know how to play - real strategy, the only game where a good player can actually get better odds than the house, or poker if you're a longtime, serious player.
Best bet for first timers or those less than dead-serious about gambling is actually the slots.
I'm not a gambler, but my oldest brother is a frequent visitor to local casinos - I think there are five within ten miles of my apartment.

I haven't gambled since I lost $3500 on my trip to Vegas last year.
I only play blackjack. I've won many times, but for some reason my luck was horrible last year.
I can hear the dealer now.... "Check change 100".....
I've gambled in quite a few places now:
Foxwoods
Turning Stone (near Syracuse NY)
Freeport, bahamas
Cruise Ships out of Port Everglades, Ft. Lauderdale
Reno
Vegas
I had an incredible streak at Turning Stone once. I was doubling my bet every time I won, starting at $20. I won 7 times in a row and walked away with $2500.
Some of the basic rules I play by...
Always Split 8s and Aces....
Never split a pair of 10s.
Always double down if you have less than 12 and the dealer is showing a 4,5 or 6.
Never bet more than 5% of your bankroll on one hand.
Always play with as few decks as possible.
Have fun. Don't worry if you lose :)
Only go to the ATM 10 times :)

I lost...I handed the Indians my money and went home. It was fun though...the trip through that area is nice.
Gambling is something Australians know a thing or two about:
Australia's richest man Kerry Packer blew US$29 million in casinos after being stranded in Las Vegas by the World Trade Centre terrorist attacks.*
The legendary punter was forced to extend his stay in the US gambling capital for a week after flights were grounded across the States following the September 11 attack.
Packer, 63, played baccarat at £100,000 ($A300,390) a hand and munched hotdogs between bouts at the baccarat table at the swish Bellagio Casino.
But the usually generous billionaire, who once tipped a Vegas casino cigarette girl £50,000 ($A150,195.25), enraged dealers by refusing to tip them in protest at leaks over his previous losses at the gaming tables. "As a show of his wrath, he refused to tip the dealers in his two weeks of play.* But the leak could have come from a number of departments," a casino insider was quoted as saying.
Packer, who has survived seven heart attacks, is legendary for his gambling sprees around the globe. He once lost £11 million ($A33.04 million) playing blackjack at the exclusive London casino Crockford's, wiping out an earlier £13 million ($A39.05 million) win at the MGM Grand Casino in Vegas.
And this link just sums it all up really (note the legendary story involving the Texan millionaire at the end):
