Blackjack

The game where your decisions matter most. With basic strategy, the house edge drops to around 0.5%, depending on the table rules.

Good to know

  • A 3:2 payout for blackjack is essential: avoid tables that pay 6:5, which are much worse for you.
  • The insurance offered when the dealer shows an ace is a losing bet in the long run.
  • Keep the strategy chart open while you play: nothing stops you from checking it online.
