On
the downside, it's tough to find a machine that
pays you the true
value of a blackjack (3 for 2). Most video blackjack
machines pay even
money on natural 21's. Because you can expect
a blackjack every 21
hands on a live game, the loss of that bonus is
going to cost you an
additional 2.3 percent. Considering that blackjack
has a house
advantage of less than 0.5 percent over the basic
strategy player like
yourself, you are giving away a considerable amount
percentage-wise.
Also
note that some machines round down on blackjack
payoffs. If you do
happen to find a machine that pays the bonus for
a blackjack but rounds
down, make sure your wagers are in two-unit increments
so that you can
get the maximum value of your every blackjack.
