The best table game....

[GoogleEmployee]

I know the title sounds stupid because there is no such thing as the "best table game" but I would say blackjack? I've played all the table games and I like having the feel of "control" I honestly would say bacarrat has the best odds but at least I could surrender in blackjack.

Whats your take on this?

as long as it doesn't pay 6/5, any blackjack game with basic strategy has better odds than any baccarat game.

What's your goal? Make money, bankroll preservation, kill time (maybe while drinking?) If you're out to make money, craps seems like a good choice, assuming you make some place bets. If you want to preserve your bankroll, blackjack isn't awful (though the hands per hour are pretty high.) If you want to preserve bankroll and kill time, pai-gow poker is a good choice.

Every once on a blue moon, blackjack rules are loosened enough to make correct play marginally profitable.

So which blackjack has the best odds. The only ones we have in my town are "Double ladies" (two suited queens against a dealer's blackjack pays 1:1000 if you play the bonus. I believe it is 6 decks.

It depends if you're talking about design, entertainment, or expectation.

From a design and entertainment perspective, I would say craps, hands down -- and baccarat (or Chemen de Fer) the worst.

There is nothing entertaining about playing 21 (correctly).

From what I've seen, any of the prop bets offered at blackjack tables are AWFUL. (i.e. payouts for getting dealt 77 or a suited blackjack, etc). And I agree --- blackjack is purely mechanical, and not terribly entertaining.

I agree with you.
