The house edge in blackjack is generally about 0.5%. This means that for every 100 hands of blackjack, the house will win 50 times and lose 50 times. The house edge is not the same for all variants of blackjack, however. For example, in Spanish blackjack, the house edge is about 2.
0%. In French blackjack, the house edge is about 1. The higher the house edge, the more advantage the casino has over players.
Theoretically, if an individual were to play perfectly and never lose money, they could theoretically expect to make back their initial investment plus interest over time if they played blackjack at a casino with a 0.5% house edge.
However, even playing perfectly at a casino with a 0.5% house edge won’t guarantee a profit; there are other factors that come into play, such as how often you are able to hit a jack or better and what your total bet amount is.
