Is it real to win against online casino?

December 12, 2008

Many people will exclaim – well, certainly, it is! Many also know that any cash casino games are set so that the casino in any case remains in favor let it be even small advantage. As a rule, having put one hundred, you usually can receive back only 90-99 (or even less – as the game will go). If to involve statistics terms, in casino mathematical expectation of payments makes 90-99 %, losses of the player make 1-10 %. This size (up to 10 %) also will make advantage of a casino.

The things are actually not so bad: for attraction of new clients casino can reprogram games to positive mathematical expectation for the player, and in some cases at a certain experience mathematical expectation can be changed into positive one. It first of all concerns the account of cards - considering the cards which have left the game; the skilled player can wait such pack of the remained cards when advantage of the player increases up to 0-2 %.

Let’s recollect our initial question: is it possible to increase advantage of the player in online casino game? Probabilities here are following.

1. Games where advantage of the player is set in advance
In some Internet casinos in some games there can be the payments exceeding usual 100 % (if to play on optimum strategy). As a rule, these are variants of video pokers (All American on Cryptologic or Dueces Wild) and Blackjack (one-pack blackjack in Bossmedia), but this advantage makes no more than 0,7 %.

2. Games with jackpots
Let’s give a simple example. Here is the standard video poker Jacks and above. With the normal table of payments standard advantage of a casino makes about 0,5 %. We will add progressive jackpot and as a result we will face the following situation. Since certain size of jackpot mathematical expectation becomes positive and will grow together with growth of jackpot. Thus, any game, where there is a progressive jackpot, can realize positive mathematical expectation for the player, but as for slots it is impossible to calculate necessary size of jackpot if the exact probability of loss of all combinations is unknown. The given information is the priority of developers only. Thus, this variant is possible only in video poker and Caribbean.

3. The account of cards
In real online casinos this tactics is possible because it is impossible to mix packs after each game, thus, in game there is usually half of packing from four, eight or six packs. In the Internet casino the computer is capable to reshuffle the pack repeatedly in a second or to play with an infinite pack - where there is always constant probability of dropping of a card. In the majority of casinos it really occurs, but in some online casinos real ones “are feigned» and a pack is shuffled only after several games. So, for example, in a casino where the software “Cryptologic” is set, in the multiuser mode one third of eight packs is played, and cutting makes 33%. Besides now there are popular “live” Internet casinos - to them a special video translation from “lifelong” casinos is applied.

Certainly, basically players can hope only for good luck (well also for bonuses), but possibility to calculate mathematically a prize in online games also exists. Certainly, you will hardly grow rich at the expense of advantage of the player in online, but you will be undoubtedly pleased with that fact, that you will lose your money not so quickly. In any case, you can find those selected sites where you as a player will be offered small advantage.
