Blackjack Future Games

The game of blackjack has evolved in many ways over the years. At one time it was a game that was played with one deck, but card counters forced casinos to find ways to counteract the players who were able to create an edge for themselves. More decks were added into play to make the counting more difficult for the advantage players, and some casinos have swayed the odds in their favour even more than the usual house edge gives them. But no advancement has changed the game of blackjack more than the internet, and future games will be even more automated than we see today.

Online casinos have an advantage over live casinos when it comes to the game of blackjack because card counters cannot create an edge over the house online. Card counting is achieved by figuring out which cards are left in the deck, or shoe, based on watching the cards that have been in play since the deck was last dealt. But online the shoe is dealt again after every hand. This wouldn’t be practical to do in a live casino because it would hold up the flow of the game, but online the deck can be shuffled in an instant.

Live casinos are very interested in eliminating card counters from winning money from the casino. Blackjack games of the future will surely have this ability to deal the deck more often. Games will become more electronic and dealers will eventually be fazed out of the picture. Advantage players will no longer be able to win big from the house like so many have done, and continue to do today.
