BlackJack with 0.5% House Edge

[davinmark]

Heya stakers  

So today i wanna ask , hmm actually i'm new here (joined since July 2018) and when i see the Games Menu, i saw there is Percentage of Edge below the games.

and i saw Blackjack has only 0.5 % Edge. until right now i still didnt know why its only 0.5% Edge?

The other games have 1% edge, and Roullete is 2,7% 

 

Do you have any Idea / explanation about why BJ Only has 0.5% Edge?

We can say that pretty much the House Edge is there so they are sure players can't win on the long run. The thing is that with blackjack, the house doesn't really need that edge as people will most certainly lose anyway just because of them. I don't know for sure how's it calculated on BlackJack, but I'm pretty sure that with a higher House Edge, players will lose A LOT more than they already do. This one and HiLo is the only game that actually counts on players choices rather than random chance. And trust me, players will always lose more than if the computer would randomise between hit/hold.

It is 0.5% due to the nature of the game. It involves a deck of cards, and the outcome of your game depends on whether you draw a card or not. In other words, it is not like dice, which has a predetermined outcome of each roll. An infinite deck is used in blackjack, and the outcome of the game is mostly determined by you. You also have the advance of splitting and doubling, which I would assume also lowered the house edge.
