6:5 ‘blackjack’ is a scourge. However, I was wondering about the difference in playing 6:5 against a machine where you don’t have to tip would work out against playing 3:2 against a dealer but you’re tipping that dealer.
I think playing 6:5 against a machine would still cause you to lose more money. While you don’t have to tip a machine, you’re certainly going to end up with more hands per hour which increases the house advantage.
Am I right? Have there been any studies on this?
You also don’t have to tip a human dealer. You can if you want, of course, and it might increase your enjoyment of the game to feel like a Big Roller, but dealers are paid well enough by the casino already.
I was under the impression, at least in Nevada, that they’re tipped employees and are paid this low wage because of tips. I have always tipped human dealers and always will (in the USA)
My daughter’s boyfriend works at a casino in Baltimore. He just told me that the starting wage for a blackjack dealer there is fifteen bucks an hour. The dealers appreciate tips.
eh, nevermind
