Glad the sequel fixed that.

that's good blackjack, err Pazaak. It would be too easy if it was neutral, you get to build a deck with the best cards OP

How are the odds against you in Blackjack? You and the dealer are playing the same game, but the dealer's choices are restricted while you're given extra choices they don't have.
Not talking about Pazaak, btw. That's a different can of rules.

If you bust the dealer wins even if they would have bust if they were forced to play.
You being dealt a 13 is much worse than the dealer being dealt a 13.

So play at a large table instead of trying to 1v1. Odds are somebody else is going to have a 17+ hand and force the dealer to draw.

with basic strategy, not counting, and assuming classic blackjack payouts (rare nowadays), your odds against the house are -0.5% assuming you never make a mistake

Forfeit the game / Before somebody else

Takes you out of the frame / Puts your name to shame

Cover up your face / You can't run the race

The pace is too fast / You just won't last

>spend time earning money through the normal gameplay loop the game is built around
or
>waste the same time playing a shitty gambling minigame with even odds of winning or losing which makes it all net neutral
The only reason to gamble is if there are special prizes locked behind it or if you can cheat.

No? The odds are against the computer. It doesn't get unlimited retries like you do.

I started playing poker when I unlocked the casino in Yakuza: Like a Dragon. By the time I stopped I had all the money I needed for upgrades, but I completely forgot what I was doing in the story.
...so I went to the arcade and started playing Virtua Fighter instead.
