Blackjack vs. Roulette: Which is the best game?

- Blackjack, Roulette
June 21, 2017September 9, 2018 No Comments

If we consider characteristics of both Blackjack and Roulette, they don’t have anything in common. While the first one is a card game which involves competing with the dealer to hit a blackjack, the other one is played by using a spinning wheel to bet upon certain numbers, colors and other choices provided on the game board.

If we ask this question to the aficionados of both games each one might have their own reasons to favor their favorite game.  Some people who like to play roulette online have certain reasons favoring the online version as compared to the one played in land based casinos.  Same goes for the people who like to play Blackjack.

In this article we will go through some of the major differences between these two games so that you can select the right one as your favorite. While going through the characteristics of blackjack in this article, you should keep in mind that there are many variants of Blackjack currently available at casinos and we are only discussing classic Blackjack here.

Blackjack and Roulette: Difference in Odds between the two games

Blackjack and Roulette: Difference in Odds between the two games The odds provided in the game of Roulette never change.  They do not depend upon the course of the game nor on the results of previous bets.  For example the odds of betting on black are always in the range of 18/38 to 18/37 in the favor of a player to win the bet. This happens because each spin is totally independent. So when you are playing roulette, try to acknowledge this simple fact and do not try to find an edge in this game by taking into consideration the previous spins.  

In the game of Blackjack the results are totally dependent upon the previous results and the quality of the remaining cards in the deck.  Just consider a situation where all the aces have been already dealt, then analyse your chances to hit a blackjack.  In this game, once a card is dealt it is gone out of the game.  This totally changes the composition of the deck as well as the outcomes along with increasing the house edge.

Concept of Strategy vs. Chance

If the game of Roulette is based on pure chance and luck, Blackjack requires game strategy and ability to count cards.  A smart player can easily change the house edge of Blackjack in his favor while in the case of Roulette it is not possible. The house edge in Roulette never changes whatever the circumstances may be, it will remain the same.  For example in American Roulette the house edge stands at 5.26 percent.  It will remain same through the whole course of the game without getting affected by the outcomes of previous spins.

The game of Blackjack provides its players with a chance to make certain decisions through course of the game which can make house edge to go in any of the two ways between the dealer or the player.  It is quite common for experienced players to use some basic strategies which involve mathematically correct decision for a particular situation.  They use their memory to make that decision.     

Blackjack and Roulette: Conclusion

If we consider the pace of both the games, Blackjack is bit faster as compared to roulette in wagers being made per hour.  You can play up to 60 hands if there are other five players on the table.  On contrary, if you are playing roulette with five players then chances are that you will have 30 to 35 spins per hour.

Does this favor Blackjack over Roulette? Certainly it does not. Selecting between these two games depends upon your gaming style and personality.  If you want a slow paced, elegant game based on chance and luck then Roulette is certainly the best choice.  While a penchant for card games and ability to enjoy a challenge of making a strategy and correct decisions makes  Blackjack your preferred choice.
