Where to Find Low Edge Online Table Games for US Players

Online table games are where cash gaming began.  Roll back the hands of time and they were played in the very first saloons out in The Wild West.  This makes them the classics of the casino.  The best table games online also have positive payback percentages.  What does that mean to y’all?  More dollars in the pocket!

Why Red Stag is an Original Online Table Games Casino

Here is a heads-up fellas.  As a genre, online table games are known to be more player friendly.  The reason being is the low edge and high payback rate.

What is less well known is the role game developers play.  They also have an impact on how frequently the average gambler can win over the long-term.  As an example, software suppliers like WGS Technology have above average return to players (RTPs).  That means players, like you, stand to benefit two-fold – you get the traditional sweetener plus a bit of icing on top!

The challenge is to find web-based gaming platforms featuring online table games by WGS.  Why ‘challenge’?  Well, WGS is one of those rare suppliers that flies under the radar.  Not because they aren’t exceptional – but because their ‘products’ are so exclusive.

All in all, there are only a handful of gaming sites featuring WGS online casino games.  One, you will be delighted to hear, is Red Stag.  We are an original US-friendly online table games casino powered by the legendary software brand!

That answers the question ‘where to find low edge online table games for US players.’  Now, let us have a more in-depth look at the titles catalogued under the table games tab right here at Red Stag Casino.

Online Roulette: American and European Variations

Roulette, more than any other game, represents the casino.  The sound of the ball clacking around the spinning wheel evokes the image of real money gambling.  Nothing speaks of chance more than casino chips being placed on the betting layout.  That brings us to the central premise of online roulette...

Roulette is a game of chance.  There is no way to influence the outcome.  The only decision involved is which chip value to choose and what types of bets to make.  The only way to improve your chances is to make an informed decision as to which variant to play.  At Red Stag Casino, we offer two versions of online roulette.  They are American Roulette and European Roulette.

The American version is known as the double zero game.  By virtue of the fact there are two zeros on the wheel, the average payback percentage is 94.74%.  The edge is 5.26%.  The European Roulette wheel only has one zero.  The numbers to bet on are reduced from 38 to 37.  That immediately has a ‘positive’ impact on the RTP and edge.  They are 97.30 and 2.70%, respectively.

What that immediately infers is European Roulette is the better game.  Now, the question is whether roulette developed by WGS offers any advantage to players.  The answer is no.  Here is why.

The structure of the roulette wheel determines the odds.  In turn, the odds are used to calculate the average edge and payback percentage.  As a result, the theoretical return to player is standard across all games at all online table games casinos.

Online Blackjack: Six Instant Play Games

Unusually, Red Stag Casino features six online blackjack games.  All have slightly different sets of rules.  The trick is to play the online table games with rules that favor the players.  That brings up back full circle to the key gaming stats – the edge and RTP.

What are the best online table games in the blackjack category?  The games with a payback percentage higher than that of the industry average.

What is of significance is blackjack, as a gaming category, has one of the lowest edges of all online table games.  The reason?  It is considered a game of skill.  In other words, by learning the mathematically correct way of playing the game, you can influence the long-term payback rate.

When playing blackjack, that means hitting, standing, doubling down and splitting according to two factors.  They are the:

• dealer’s up card
• collective total of the cards in your hand

When you play the theoretically correct way, you can break even.  Better still, you can make a profit playing blackjack over the long run.  Fortunately, learning how to play blackjack strategically is not as complex as you may think.  All you must do is download and print out the strategy corresponding to a particular variant – be it Classic blackjack or Vegas Strip.  That’s Vegas Strip, the card game – not the brightly lit neon Strip in Las Vegas, Nevada!

The Rules of Online Blackjack and Their Significance

What determines the edge in blackjack are the rules pertaining to that particular game.  Some rules favor players, whilst others do not.  Here is a breakdown of the WGS blackjack online table games, their key rules and respective edges and RTPs.

Atlantic City Blackjack	Classic Blackjack	Vegas Single Deck Blackjack	Vegas Strip Blackjack
*Dealer stands on soft 17	Yes	No - Dealer hits on soft 17	Yes
8 decks	No - 4 decks	*No - 1 deck	No - 6 decks
*Double on any 2 cards	Yes	No - Double on 9 to 11	Yes
*Double after the split	No - No doubling after the split	No - No doubling after the split	Yes

0.44% edge	0.57%	0.40%	0.41%
99.56% RTP	99.43%	99.60%	99.59%

Note: Rules favoring players are marked with an asterisk (*).  Vegas Single Deck is also known as Downtown Vegas.

When you focus exclusively on the edge, Perfect Pairs is the best game to play.  It has an edge and RTP of 99.64% and 0.36%, respectively.  This variation is fundamentally classic blackjack with an optional side bet.  If the bet is successful, you win a whack of extra cash for a pair!

The odds for the Perfect Pairs side bet are as follows:

• Mixed pair: 5 to 1
• Colored pair: 10 to 1
• Suited pair: 30 to 1

As the odds correlate with probability, conventional wisdom tells us to avoid the side bet.  That said, there are times when taking a punt may not be a bad tactic.  These times are when you are ahead in the game.  That way, you are bankrolling your bets with the casino’s funds… not yours!
