Blackjack Strategy
Blackjack offers the best odds in the casino if played correctly:
Basic Strategy: - Always hit on 11 or less - Stand on 17 or higher - Double down on 11 (except against Ace) - Split Aces and 8s - Never take insurance
With perfect strategy, blackjack can have a house edge under 0.5%.
