It is seen that several casinos in the United States have come up with a small rule change in the original blackjack game. Known as 6 to 5 blackjack, the small rule change in this game dramatically increases the house’s advantage. According to 6 to 5 blackjack rules, if the player wins blackjack, the casino pays 6:5, whereas the payout in the normal blackjack game is 3:2. But this does not mean you will get more money when you win blackjack. For example, if you bet $10 and win a blackjack, in the ordinary 3:2 payout, you will get $15, while in the new 6:5 blackjack you will get only $12. That is, by making a small change in the rule - reducing blackjack payouts from 3:2 to 6:5 - casinos are actually increasing their house advantage to 1.39%.
Majority of the casinos who introduced this new rule have been successfully marketing the game so far. This is due to the fact that most blackjack players’ think that the new rule will give them more profit if they win the game. Casinos also placed several catchy sign on the tables which read “Blackjack Pays 6:5”. Using these types of advertisements casinos have drawn lots of blackjack buffs to the new 6:5 version. But the real fact is that the new 6 to 5 blackjack game is much worse than the 8 deck blackjack game on the casino floor.
As most players were not aware of the trick behind the game there wasn’t a sudden backlash against 6 to 5 blackjack game. However, when the players realized that they are losing their money faster than a traditional blackjack game, the players stopped playing 6 to 5 blackjack.
What players can do to stop casinos using such rule variations to increase there profit is not to play any blackjack game which pays less than the usual 3:2 payouts. Advise your friends and family members if they are blackjack buffs and visits casinos frequently. If players stop supporting such games, casinos will certainly stop using such tricks to hijack blackjack players.
