BLACK JACK
Blackjack is the only game where the player can actually attain an edge over the casino, but that is reserved for skilled card counters. A set of strategies have been devised by a series of blackjack experts beginning in the 1950s, but the strategies are difficult to master and only give the player a slight edge under ideal conditions, so it is difficult for even good blackjack players to utilize them. And casinos are constantly making adjustments to their rules to combat these strategies.
Unskilled blackjack players face a house advantage between five and ten percent. There is no set house advantage, because different rules affect the overall house edge—the number of decks, the dealing style and the betting restrictions all add to the house edge.
There is a way, without counting cards, to cut the house edge to its absolute minimum. By applying “basic strategy”, a manner of playing that takes advantage of the rules which relate to the dealer’s cards, you can reduce the house edge. Again, how much you can reduce the house edge depends on the rule variations, but basic strategy gives blackjack players their best chance to win.
