With basic strategy the house advantage is only about 0.5 percent! That is less than a 1 percent disadvantage to the player. This is why blackjack can be one of the most profitable games to play in a casino. Basic strategy varies according to the type of playing conditions that you are exposed to. Namely, how many decks that are in the shoe you. Before you can go on to learn basic strategy, you must know what the blackjack rules are at your casinos, and choose the one with the most favorable conditions. If you live near Las Vegas, you are very lucky, as they offer single deck blackjack, which is much easier to beat than multiple deck blackjack. Next, let's improve the player's strategy by using basic strategy with a hard total of 12 to 16, which is: Player has 13 to 16 vs. Dealer 2-6 = Stand Player has 12 vs. Dealer 4-6 = Stand Otherwise, hit with hard 12 to 16. Here is the effect of that strategy improvement. One deck = 3.703%; Eight decks = 3.270%; Difference = 0.433%. The basic concept and objective remain the same in single deck Blackjack. You want to get to 21 points or as close to 21 as possible without busting. Not the best hand in the history of single deck.

All other single deck blackjack games in Las Vegas pay 6:5 on a natural. All the 6:5 games permit players to double down on any two cards but not after splitting. The dealer hits soft 17 at all Las Vegas single deck blackjack tables.

That is all the single deck blackjack tables left in Las Vegas. Many Las Vegas casinos decided that there was no reason to offer 6:5 single deck games when players seem willing to play the game with six or eight decks. This adds to the house edge over these players that likely are not playing the game using basic strategy, increasing the win for the house.
