1. Blackjack has the lowest house edge over the player of all games ever. So, in essence, it is the most player-friendly game in the world (Best ways to win).Of course, you also have to know what you doing (a basic glossary can be found here): there is a large volume of rules that not many people know but that make a difference between a winner and a loser.
