Of course it's
possible to lower the casino's edge to less than 0.5% by playing in games
that have very favorable rules. One of the best blackjack games is offered
at the Slots-A- Fun Casino in Las Vegas. Here they deal a single deck game
with the dealer standing on soft 17 (A+6) and double after pair splitting
is allowed. A basic strategy player has in fact a slight edge against the
casino (ca. 0.1%) in this game.
The basic playing strategy is
slightly dependent on the number of decks of cards. Thus the basic
strategy for a single deck game is slightly different than a six deck game. For simplicity the table below summarizes the basic strategy rules
that you can use for any number of decks.
To use the table, go
across the top to find the dealer's upcard and go down the first column
and find your hand. Where the row and column intersect you'll find the
correct basic strategy play. The strategy assumes that doubling after pair
splitting is allowed (see bottom of chart for deviations if doubling after
pair splitting is not allowed)
