    Lightbulb Does Blackjack Switch have a lower House Edge than regular Blackjack?

    Hey everyone, I've heard that Blackjack Switch has a lower House Edge than regular Blackjack, is that true?

    If so, how much lower are we talking about and should I be focusing exclusively on it instead as a result?

    depends on the versions of each. The best switch games are hard to find but if memory serves the HE is less than 0.2%.

    My recollection is the best switch games available are 0.19% HE. DD s17, DAS, LS Bj has that same HE.

    Wow, is that the lowest house edge of any casino game? I can't imagine anything going lower than that and it doesn't surprise me that they are hard to find!

    I'm assuming that's with counting cards though and not just using basic strategy, right?

    No. There are some games that antes are the only source of income for casinos in Oklahoma. The profits from the game go into a players pool. That pool is used to give back those profits to the players through promotions. Often the promotion pays the ante. I haven't checked lately but there was an early surrender game dealt that has an off the top player edge at one casino less the ante. If the ante was paid out of the players pool a BS player had an off the top advantage.
