Frequently Asked Questions
Why is 6:5 payout treated as an automatic F grade? ▼
Because paying 6:5 instead of 3:2 on blackjacks adds +1.39% directly to the house edge. That single rule change more than triples the casino margin from ~0.4% to ~1.8%+, making long-term capital preservation mathematically impossible.
What is the practical value of Double After Split (DAS)? ▼
DAS adds approximately 0.14% in player equity. It allows aggressive splits on pairs like 2,2, 3,3, and 6,6 against weak dealer upcards because you retain the right to double down on favorable 3rd cards.
How does live dealer speed compare to RNG online blackjack? ▼
Live dealer tables typically deal 50–70 hands per hour with multiple seated players. Solo RNG online games can deal 200–500 hands per hour, accelerating your hourly exposure by 4x to 8x.
The grade compares the selected rule profiles. Expected hourly cost depends on pace and stake, not just the headline payout. Verify the real table rules.
