Does Blackjack Pays 2 To 1

Blackjack payout refers to how much you would win for a winning hand. The blackjack payout for a natural 21 is 3:2, while insurance pays 2:1. Blackjack payout for a non-natural winning hand is 1:1 but you will get no blackjack payout if your hand busts. No way the B is paying 2: 1 on a blackjack.

That game, while bad for a typical blackjack game, is still better than most slot machines.


If you can find one that gives points like a slot machine, then you may have found something...

Does 1-1 or 1:1 (a dash or colon) always mean TO not FOR?


In everything I have seen, the : or - on given odds has always meant 'to'
'1:1', '1 to 1', or '1-1' means you will get even money.
2 for 1 also means even money.

Is it that unusual? I've seen a lot of 6/8D CSM-style DAS H17 6:5 machines, and a handful of 3:2s, even in LV.
Granted, the $perpoint tends to be lower; one of my local haunts pays out at 1200$CI per dollar in comps. I should check that one in LV for the comp scale, though I've soured on it since they decided to insult me to my face about wearing a freebie casino jacket while grousing about W-2Gs.
Edit: Slots require 300CIp$.

The : or - means TO. Doesn’t mean FOR.
I believe machines use the “TO one” wording because when you make a $1 bet, you instantly lose that $1, as your credits go down by $1. Then when you win, it pays you back $2.
People don’t read the rules.
Also there’s no way the HE is 2.5% on that game. I’d say more like 4-5%.

No, it’s not unusual for them to give points, but it would be unusual for it to give points at the same rate/$coin in as a slot.

Assuming all other rules are lousy, no surrender, no double after split and no re-split .... I get 2.45% HE
I expected worse as well ... so maybe I am missing a rule?

Here are the rules for video blackjack with 99.5% payback percentage.
In this game, a blackjack pays 5 for 2, which is the same as 3 to 2.
In all my years of playing Game King machines—since the mid-1990s—I have never found a casino that offered these rules. I have always seen blackjacks paying 2 for 1.

I wonder if Zenking crushes these machines

Oh ok, maybe so. I was referring to the game in the OP — no splitting, no doubling.

I bet a lot of people play that game under the assumption they are getting 2:1 , unless maybe thats a common term and I'm just out of the loop


Its common on craps tables. Go look at the middle bets. Video poker machines pay on a 'for 1' basis.
DUHHIIIIIIIII HEARD THAT!

Doh, I knew something was up with the wording
I'm not sure about the other rules (I didn't play), but I think the HE is around 2.5%

What exactly does it mean


What1 for 1 means you recieve back 1 for the 1 you wagered ie you won nothing
2 for 1 means you receive back 2 for the 1 you wagered so you win even money ie you get back the 1 you wagered and the 1 you won
2 to 1 means you receive back 3 for the 1 you wagered or double your money ie you get back the 1 you wagered and 2 you won

Toledo used to have a $5, 3 to 2, LS, 6 card charlie machine. Got to play that for a bit before being changed to the awful 2 for 1.

Does it always stand that x for y is in inclusive of the original bet while x to y is in addition to the original bet?

Edit for clarity

I always think of it like this:
1) 2 for

3 To 2 Blackjack Payouts

1 means you get 2, for them TAKING your 1... so at the end of the day you only win 1.
2) 2 to 1 means you get 2 to every 1 you bet.
To me the 'for' means they're 'taking' your bet no matter what, like a slot machine. Not sure if I'm making things more confusing or not lol.
Playing it correctly means you've already won.

Yea, that makes sense

2) '2 in addition to each 1 bet'DRich

I knew so much as it relates to VP. It's helpful to know the terminology now.
But I have never seen GameKing BJ on the east coast, do you why that is?
