I really don't understand. I am playing blackjack on the same software in different casinos.. and while at one casino it's more like 50/50.. at the other one I feel like the dealer has a contract with god to receive only BJ, either that or an ongoing streak. And trust me this results don't come from one session of play.. but from MANY
do you happen to know if the software allows the admins to change the house edge or the payout for games like BJ?

As a sidenote you could also download the Camtasia screenrecorder tool to "tape" the session while playing. This way you have a little more to add to the table if a discussion should arrise on the topic. I know there are freeware tools aswell for screenrecording, Techsmith is sponsoring one of them I think.

Interesting.. Maybe I'll start recording sessions in the future, because I've had same kind of experiences

The only way they could "change" the house advantage in the software is to add extra decks to the shoe, or change the rules that are unfavorable to the player (hit s17, split pairs only once, etc), or change the payout for player's blackjack to 6:5.Originally Posted by zenderady
If they introduced a way to have blackjack only pay out a certain percentage, then the game would be no better than a slot machine and you wouldn't be playing blackjack anymore. IE: The outcome of hands would be pre-determined, no matter how you play the hand.

Transparency, as used in the humanities and in a social context more generally, implies openness, communication, and accountability. It is a metaphorical extension of the meaning a "transparent" object is one that can be seen through. ...

By the way, something which is highly probably if you think about it! It is very easy to do software wise, ajousting what cards to give to player and dealer!

You're right; both online and off.
I'm still investigating whether or not the 'electronic' blackjack games in several offline slots parlors deal a legitimate game of blackjack or not. I have a feeling that they're set to the same % as slot machines...which would mean you're not playing blackjack at all.
If I find out that's true, I'm going to file a complaint with the gaming control board here in PA because that information is NOT listed on the games themselves.
It's a HUGE difference when you think about it. 9% house advantage vs. an expected 1% or so....

so aren't they legally obliged to disclose this information to the public?

Offline? Yes, they are....or I would think they would be obligated to do so.
Whether it's a live dealer or a electronic machine, if I sit down to play blackjack, that's what I expect to play....not a slot machine.
I've always wondered why I never had ONE winning session (out of about a dozen before I quit going) playing the electronic blackjack games at Harrah's casino in Chester, PA; but I now know why.......there's no way it could be a real game of blackjack.
Sorry for the derail. I started a new thread about these machines:

Electronic blackjack often offers few splits, hits on soft seventeen, and paying 1:1 for blackjack if you only have one coin bet, and rotten terms for surrender.
Remember, both online and VLT blackjack games shuffle the deck(s) after every hand. This action favours the house.
What I find most disturbing are the casino's that ban players for playing correctly. Something you can purchase on a laminated card in most casino gift shops.
