As others have pointed out, what the casino makes is higher than the
theoretical payback due to strategy errors and other suboptimal play.
Also, as I understand it, all VP games in Nevada and New Jersey must be
random and draw from a 52 or 53 card deck. In addition, I read that all
games that emulate card games (VP, video blackjack) certified in Nevada
must not be capable of non-random operation at all. (There is a
blackjack machine made in Japan that has a selectable expectation and
therefore is non-random.)
