What Percentage of the Time Does the Dealer Win in Blackjack?

When playing blackjack, the house edge is typically around 2.5%. This means that for every fifty hands played, the house will win twenty-five times and the player will lose thirty-five times.

However, there are a number of factors that can affect the house’s chances of winning. These include the player’s hand, the dealer’s hand, and the layout of the table.

In general, if a player has a high-card hand (a ten or higher), the dealer is likely to bust. If a player has a low-card hand (a two through nine), the dealer may or may not hit on any given hand.

Additionally, if there are two or more players at the table, the dealer hits more often when playing against an ace-high hand than against any other hand. Finally, tables with more generous payouts (such as those in Las Vegas) usually have a higher house edge than tables with lower payouts (such as those in Atlantic City).
