How to beat online-casino?
Having read the heading, many people will tell, well certainly it is possible! As well as in any other casino it is required only a bit of luck, and here you already leave, pleasantly rustling with the won denominations (in case of online, receiving by mail the check or transfer on Webmoney). There is another variant - to receive a bonus and to win, thanks to it. But here I speak about possibility to win in a casino not at the expense of luck or bonuses, but at the expense of the pure mathematics!
Players know that casino games are created for the casino to get some certain advantage, let it be even small. Rules of games are such, that, having put $100, on the average you receive back only $90 - $99 (the sum can be even lower, everything depends on the game). Or, speaking statistics language, a mathematical expectation of payments in a casino makes 90-99 %, thus losses of the player (also named advantage of a casino) will make 1-10 %. However in practice everything not so is bad: casinos in the advertising purposes can offer games with positive for the player mathematical expectation, and some games at certain skills allow changing expectation from negative to positive. First of all, it is a question of the account of cards: the blackjack-player, considering the cards which have left the game, can wait such a condition of the remained pack when advantage of a casino will turn to advantage of the player of an order of 0-2 %.
But we will return to our question: whether it is possible to reach advantages of the player in an Internet casino? It appears to be possible! We will consider possible variants. Games with the set advantage of the player. In some online casinos separate games can offer the payments little bit exceeding 100 % (at game on optimum strategy, it is final). Usually various variants of video pokers concern such games (for example, Dueces Wild in a casino from РТГ or All American in a casino from Cryptologic) and Blackjack (for example, one-pack Blackjack in casino Bossmedia), however advantage of the player is very insignificant, no more than 0,2 %.
Games with jackpots. We will follow a simple example: there is a standard video poker ?Jacks or Better?. At the normal table of payments advantage of a casino to this game makes about 0,5 %. Now we add progressive jackpot to the game, and what we see? Starting with some size of jackpot (for specified ?Jacks and Better? at game by five coins on 25Ñ jackpot should make an order of $1250) mathematical expectation becomes positive and continues to grow with growth of jackpot (approximately by 2 % from each additional $1000). Any game with progressive jackpot can reach positive mathematical expectation; however for slots it is impossible to calculate the demanded size of jackpot, without knowing exact probability of loss for all combinations, and this probability is known only to developers. Thus, in order to get reliable advantage at the help of jackpot it is possible only in video poker and the Caribbean poker.
The account of cards. The account of cards in real casinos becomes possible thanks to the fact that the casino cannot mix a pack after each game and as a result half of pack from 4, 6 or 8 packs is played at least. In online-casino the computer can easily shuffle a pack many times in a second, or is simple play an “infinite†pack where the probability of loss of each card is constant. The overwhelming majority of casinos do it, however there is a small amount of casinos which “feign†real casinos and “mix†a virtual pack only after a number of games.
