Say you had 100 dollars american to gamble away quickly in vegas.
You have 10 minutes to do it once you get inside.
You have no interest in low to medium reward.
You want to walk out broke or a millionaire in 10 minutes.
What are your best odds.

You literally have no clue how casinos in the real world work do you? The best you can hope for is there's one of those instant win multimillion dollar jackpot slot machines you can play.

all the odds are against you. at least in vegas.

if you are not risk-averse, then maybe card games could be lucrative. if you just want to play against "the house" though, it depends, but roulette gives you the best odds at many casinos (but even with "the best odds" it still favors you losing money and the casino making money. simple economics)

Table game limits are capped so you can't use those. Only way would be a slot machine.

you can't turn 100 into a million in 10 minutes with any kind of math betting system. there are mathematical systems that give you an edge, but they dont apply to any casino games.

You can gain an edge using math by playing blackjack or poker. You can also use math to profit from sports betting.

if you mean 10 minutes of actual play time, not counting the time to turn your money into chips and to walk between tables:
i'd say put it on 1 number on roulette, if you win you'll have 3,600.
then find the high limit area and put that on 1 number, if it hits you'll have 129,600.
now find even higher limit tables (e.g. caesar's spreads roulette that you can bet up to 50k on) and you have some options. one is to split your roll into 4 parts of 32,400 each, put them on 4 numbers. if any of them hit you'll have 1,166,400.
overall odds roughly 0.025*0.025*0.1 = 0.00006, which is 0.006% (it would take you an average of ~16,667 tries to win once)

if you mean 10 minutes from walking into the door (like a mob thug is on your ass and you need to come up with a million before he blows your kneecaps out), you really have no options. run to the jackpot slots and pray to hit a quick million. odds are like 1 in 10-50 million depending on the casino

actually i noticed my calculator truncated the result. it should be 0.00625%, or 1 in 16000.
but the 2.5% and 10% odds i used were estimations anyway, so whatever.

Single deck blackjack is your best odds, but 10 minutes functionally is not enough time. The absolute softest game in Blackjack has a -0.18289% house edge (so with perfect strategy you will beat that game over time), but I doubt any casino would offer that format especially at high stakes. Adding 1 (most cases more) deck, changing split rules, etc. all results in the house having an edge. IF the game is the softest possible, if they allow you to change table max every hand, the odds of you getting blackjack 14 times in a row are 0.00000294799.

These nerds talking about how which game has the lowest house edge or about how OP can get a tiny edge are drones who didn't even read the question.
OP wants the highest odds of at least 10000x'ing his initial stake in 10 minutes.

So far there's two legitimate answers.
You can do it with just three roulette spins and your odds are about 1 in 16000.
Or you do it with a jackpot slot machine and your odds are about 1 in 50 million.

Or is that the odds once you have cycled the entire 100 dollars?

There are no secret tricks to winning in a casino
The casino wants to make the illusion of you having a high probability to win, while in reality they have the edge.
They hire mathmaticians for a reason

Wrong its blackjack if played perfectly, but less than 1% do.
Roulette requires no skill or prior knowledge so odds are constant, at its highest on b/r its about 48.5%. Bj can go higher than 49.5% under certain house rules.

Walk into the casino, fling your chips into the garbage, then find somebody who looks shady and offer to sell your organs or take out an illegal loan from a loan shark
