The dealer has an advantage in blackjack due to the game’s probabilities. In a typical game, the dealer has a house edge of about 0.3 percent. That means for every 100 hands of blackjack, the dealer will win about 33 hands and lose about 67 hands.
For comparison, the player has a house edge of about 2.6 percent, which means for every 100 hands of blackjack, the player will win about 53 hands and lose about 47 hands. The dealer’s advantage can be significant, especially if you’re playing in a casino where the house edge is higher than average.
