in my humble experience in the gambling field, I am always fascinated by how the dealer draws a 21 out of nowhere.

It does happen in live blackjack, but nothing compares to virtual blackjack.

Do you think it's really just RNG, or pure favoritism for the dealer aka the house?
 
A lot depends on the site you play on. But I think on reliable and verified resources, the phenomenon you described is truly random number generation.

You say "always," but it doesn't actually happen all the time. I think you're exaggerating.
 
It's probably just your personal bias that is only happens on the virtual felt. I guess they try to program it as far as possible.

I think that online gambling games in general are designed for the player to lose money. This is normal. This is the kind of business. That is. when you deposit money for such entertainment, you should understand that you have actually spent it before the first hand.

Yes, it's true. The casino always has an advantage. But at the same time, we have an advantage when we realize it 🙂

In general, I trust live casinos way more than online ones despite knowing about the house edge no matter where.
But then again, we should keep in mind that the number of hands we get dealt online is way greater than the one we get dealt in live games, so it's only normal that we remember more "bad beats" we see online than in live play. Just like in poker.
 
Of course, playing live is much more interesting and exciting. But playing online blackjack can be equated to online poker. I don't see a fundamental difference. If I'm willing to spend $10 on poker, why wouldn't I spend $10 on blackjack.
 
Live play is much more promising and interesting if you are an experienced and skilled player. But those who can’t play live either play online and accept the game as it is, or simply don’t play at all.
 
I notice the same thing online, but the faster pace probably makes bad beats stand out more. Do you prefer live blackjack now?

I love blackjack and learned basic strategy from the start, so I usually do pretty well.
So online seems like an easy way to make a few bucks daily, but I've never done that well
because the dealer works miracles when needed. i just do a hit-and-run these days with a small amount.
