    Actual average Blackjack House Edge for the casinos

    I'd like to know that in actual, with mixtures of instinct-based gamblers, superstitious ploppies, smart basic strategy players, novice and professional card counters, what is the average house edge the casinos get from blackjack in total bets.

    The house edge for perfect strategy can be found on many websites, However, what is the real house edge supposed I'm going to run a casino with my ploppy friends while a few can be smart? I know I can expect higher revenue from it but to what extent?

    you mention “mixtures of instinct-based gamblers, superstitious ploppies, smart basic strategy players, novice and professional card counters” but will your casino be offering all types of Blackjack as well...3:2, 6:5, SD, DD, 6 deck, 8 Deck, various rules like S17, Surrender, how about Superfun and other variants of Blackjack. Located in a big city, think a Rivers in Chicago or a small town casino in Cape Girardeau.

    What about whether your casino offers other table games, slots, etc.

    I think the take from Blackjack is available in Las Vegas but I doubt it’s more than 10% of a casino’s earnings.

    What about typical 6D game, 3:2, S17 (outside US), no surrender, DAS, RSA? I do not reside in US. I ask for, local casinos, not casino cities just only the average edge on blackjack games, not counting other games.

    Whatever the basic strategy perfect play edge is for the particular rules set plus anywhere from an additional .25% For decent ploppies to an additional 1.5% for absolutely abhorrent play.

    It is interesting that most of the time ploppies are estimated at "only" about 2 percent disadvantage. I would expect much more, maybe 5 to 10 percent, from what I have seen from other players. For instance, during my last vacation in Greece, there was a casino night in my hotel just for fun (sort of tournament mode), where I saw a couple only hitting rather than doubling down on hard 11 versus a weak dealer upcard, and some other clear mistakes.
