Default Re: Zero Sum Blackjack: Possible?

Since casinos rate BJ play higher than a net theo of 0%, if this were to happen, the game would have a players advantage once comps (both hard and soft) were taken into account.

What would motivate a casino to offer a blackjack game with no house edge, and then comp against it? Am I missing something?

Good question.

Here's another. Why did a LV casino (on the strip) install video BJ games (full pay...i.e. BJ's paid 3/2, etc) and give double points for play, which resulted in a 0.5% players advantage?

This happend a few months ago, and lasted for over two months.

Why did the casino let it last so long?

Why did the casino award comps on top of the points earnned?

BTW, even without the additional comps, this resulted in a $300+ per hour play for the pros that hit it, and most of them played two machines at once.

Why would the casino do this?
