Do Blackjack Machines Have Same Odds?

There is some disagreement among experts as to whether or not blackjack machines have the same odds as traditional blackjack tables. A 2005 study by the University of Nevada found that the machine’s odds are about two-thirds those of a traditional blackjack table.

A 2009 study by the University of Michigan found that the odds were closer to traditional blackjack, but still favored the machine. .

The University of Nevada study concluded that “the results suggest that players at both types of casinos are losing on average.” The Michigan study found that “players at [the machine] sites lose an average of 0.

92 percent more than players at [traditional] blackjack sites.” .

Ultimately, it is up to the casino operator to decide which odds to offer its players. If they choose to offer machine-based blackjack with traditional odds, then players are likely losing money on average.

If, on the other hand, they choose to offer machine-based blackjack with different odds, then players may be able to make more money overall.
