Yes, about 0.1% (exact value depends on CD exceptions strategy)
I thought it had a VERY low edge, but still to the house.
Interestingly, there are a few MGS casinos that do NOT weight games for comp point purposes, and give 0.1% across the board. If any game, or any strategy for any game, can be found to give a house edge less than this, then it is a long term winner.
MGS do NOT have Autoplay for either All Aces or Classic BJ, the only two games where a player edge might exist.
I checked some while back on the Wizard's site, and did not see mention of MGS Classic BJ having a PLAYER edge, even WITH the exceptions in play. The problem is that in MGS there is a MISPRINT in the rules, they say one thing, but the game does another. This misprint DOES result in a slight player edge when run through the calculator, but the game itself does NOT play this way. From memory, the misprint is about splits and doubling, and the printed rules allow a wider range of choice than is actually the case when in play.
The MGS VP games do NOT as far as I know count the doubling feature as "wagering" either for playthrough or comp point generation, so the simulated Playtech strategy would not work. All Aces is probably the best a player will get to a game with a Player edge, assuming comps at 0.1% are added, AND there is some kind of extra promo running.
If you consider the entire package, there are occasions where net +EV situations occur. JF are running one at the moment
I'll tell you all how it's done when it's over
JF have done this in the past, but you DO need considerable brain power to figure some of them out, and once they see that a few players have, they change the goal posts
The March - April one is a throwback to something they used to run a fair bit over 2 years ago, till I sussed it and won more than half of them
. They changed the formats frequently after then, and I didn't win again
A simple example of such a situation is where you can play a low house edge game, AND get 0.1% comp points, AND have your wagering count towards a score in some kind of wagering challenge competition. Provided the prizes are high enough, these events can occasionally become +EV some weeks. Easter, or other big holidays, are the best times to study these, since if more players are on holiday, there will be fewer players in any tournaments.
I do not expect casinos will go back to offering games with a player edge unless the perfect strategy required is so complex even the Wizard can't work it out to post for all to see (and use).
