Imagine there would be a skill game that is possible to beat long term playing against the dealer/casino. Would it be profitable overall for a casino to offer something like that? I guess the edges have to be super thin....

Thoughts?

I think, to some extent, poker or even blackjack can be called such a game of skill. But the fact is that there are so few "skillful" that the casino is not threatened with anything. Even if the casino is threatened with something, they can block your account at any time and continue their activities calmly.

Although all casino games are luck based there are a few where player skill can make a difference, namely, Blackjack and baccarat. A skilled Blackjack player can reduce the house odds to a small % thereby using their skill to take home cash...

Iako su sve kasino igre zasnovane na sreći, postoji nekoliko gdje vještina igrača može napraviti razliku, naime, Blackjack i Baccarat. Vješt igrač Blackjacka može smanjiti izglede kuće na mali postotak, koristeći tako svoju vještinu da osvoji novac...
The problem is that blackjack is monitored and when they notice that you are a skilled player, they remove you from the game.

Video poker machines set to 100%+ RTP (set via the pay tables), you need skill at the game to hit that "guaranteed" profit.

You're asking if the casinos would run a game that they lost money on. Unless the people playing there wanted to pay the casinos utility bills and rent another way, probably not. It's why you'll get banned from playing blackjack but not the rest of the casino.

Blackjack can be done profitably but you'll be stopped quickly because once they recognize you're counting cards, you're donezo. The floor knows what the count on all of the tables are, so they'll know exactly when you vary your play.

The highest RTP I've ever heard of in practice was 99.94 and that was with PERFECT play on Jacks or Better.

Yes i am aware of Blackjack. Basically i thought of a new, difficult game that would be beatable in the long run but most players who attempt wouldn't. So it would be still profitable for the casino overall to offer it.
