Is it better to play blackjack on a machine or at a table?

Video blackjack moves much faster than table blackjack. At a full seven-player table, you'll play between 50 and 60 hands per hour, and playing head-to-head with the dealer, you'll play more than 200 hands per hour. On a video game, we're talking more like 800 hands per hour, so size your bets accordingly.

What is a good amount to play blackjack?
A decent rule of thumb is to bring at least 100 betting units (for a 4 hour session). So if your betting unit is $100, then I'd bring $10K.

Should you play blackjack at a full table?
NUMBER OF PLAYERS
Given this fact, you are better off playing at a full table rather than a table with fewer players, or worse, heads up against the dealer. The reason is you'll get fewer hands dealt to you at a full table, which will reduce the exposure of your bankroll to the house edge.

Is it better to play two spots on a blackjack table?
The answer is, yes, for several reasons. Playing two hands is an excellent way of increasing your bet spread when the count is in your favor. You can also bet 50% of what you would have bet on one hand, on each of two hands, with less risk and variance.

Is it better to play blackjack at an empty table?
In blackjack the house edge on the actual game doesn't change, no matter if there are seven players at the table or just one. And while you will still win or lose the same amount of hands no matter how many players there are, at an empty table you are just going to do it a lot faster.
