Most blackjack these days really isn't very beatable.

While these are simple, hypothetical numbers, it is easy to see why the casino keeps the games beatable to a degree that keeps players playing. So now 89 people lose 1.05 due to the increase in hands, so that is $93.45 from the 89 players and $5 to the machine rental for a revenue of $88.45. Lets just toss out a cost of $5 per hour for the machine and a loss of 10 players as they do not like the CSMs, as well as eliminating the counter. The machines are expensive though and players don't like them. Now they make $89.10 from the 99 players to save 10 cents from the counter for a revenue of $88.20.ĬSMs increase the hands per hour as there is no shuffle. If the 99 people now only give 90cents per hour as they play less hands, and the 1 counter now makes just 80cents. This reduces the money made off of the 99 people and reduces the money lost to the 1 person. To make the game unbeatable by giving less pen, that is less hands dealt per hour. With these 100 people, 99 give $1 to the casino, 1 person takes $1 from the casino.

So using your numbers, 99 people give up 1%.
