Odds on Video Blackjack
Written August 22, 2008 by Jack Jones
One major concern when people go to the casino or when they play online is that the odds are going to be different than if they are playing table blackjack with real cards in front of them. However, you shouldn’t have anything to worry about.
If you are in Las Vegas, then it’s Nevada law, as well as most of the United States, that video representations of cards need to follow the exact odds that a real game with a human dealer would have. The cards also need to come out in a completely random manner.
What you need to worry about are the rules of the game. There are some video blackjack machines that don’t offer 3 to 2 on blackjacks, and that could hurt you in the long run by altering the house edge by 2.3% in the bad way. Most online blackjack sites will give you better odds than you will find at the local casino, so that’s one more reason to get signed up at a quality online casino like BetUS.
You’ll find solid odds on video blackjack as long as you play at BetUS, but if you choose to play elsewhere then play close attention to the payouts or else you’ll be in for an unpleasant surprise.
