This simulator demonstrates how the casino maintains a mathematical advantage over time in blackjack. Even with optimal play, the house edge is approximately 0.5-1%, which ensures that over thousands of hands, the casino will profit.

With perfect basic strategy, the house edge in blackjack is about 0.5%. This means for every $100 bet, the player will lose $0.50 on average over time.
While short-term variance (luck) can lead to winning sessions, the mathematical edge ensures that as the number of hands increases, results will trend toward the expected loss determined by the house edge.
This demonstrates why gambling is not a viable way to make money - the math is designed to work against the player.
