Blackjack Winners Cause Bad Revenue for Pennsylvania Casinos

Pennsylvania casinos have decreased their payout rates and all signs point to the blackjack tables as being responsible for this decrease. Casinos in Pennsylvania have decreased their payout rates as compared to what they offered when they had launched in their initial years. Casino authorities are blaming the blackjack tables for this decrease in payout rate and they say blackjack card games have not been performing well at most casinos. Major casinos are operating on payout rates less than around two percent of when they had been launched.

Lower payouts means the casinos keep more of the player’s money and pay lesser amounts to the player when he or she wins. Players are assured that slot machine payouts are still the same, and that the decrease is due to the introduction of live tables for other games. This is because the electronic versions were considered as slot machines and used to pay out more due to the engineering involved in the electronic versions.

Live tables for casino games like blackjack have lower payout rates than the electronic versions of these games. Blackjack professionals usually use advanced blackjack strategy to even out the odds but most players still rely on luck to win the game.

Players are encouraged to opt for online blackjack games instead of playing at brick and mortar casinos as they are sure to get better payouts.
