FAQ

1. What is the likelihood that I win whilst playing with this AddOn, and how do I know it's not totally rigged?

It's important to note that blackjack, like any casino game, comes with an inherent house edge (advantage). In blackjack, this house edge depends upon a number of factors, including but not limited to, the Player's ability to double, split, and surrender; the dealer standing on soft-17 (Ace + 6); the number of decks used in the shoe; how often the deck is shuffled; and whether the player is following perfect 'Blackjack Strategy' - the chart for this can be found here.

Typically, you can expect to play with a 0.5 - 1.0% house edge (this percentage is over the long-run - not simply a few hands).

2. How can I be sure the cards are generated (dealt on the table) fairly and with 100% randomization?

All cards are generated using the in-game WoW command "/roll" meaning that all Player's (and the Dealer) witness the result at the same time. Depending upon the number of decks used in the shoe (6-deck shoe is used by default), the number used in the "/roll" command will differ - for example:

"/roll 1-312" would be used for a 6-deck shoe - 312 cards total (52 cards x 6 decks)

"/roll 1-52" would be used for a 1-deck shoe - 52 cards total (52 cards x 1 deck)

Within the code of the Dealer AddOn, a table is created based upon the number of cards in the shoe. For this example, let's use are 6-deck (312 cards) shoe.

This is what the table would look like:

As you can see from the image below, the output of roll was 155 - this corresponded to Queen of Diamonds (10) in the table above. The card is then removed from the table and it becomes a 311 card total shoe, rather than 312. The next "/roll" in chat automatically adjusts to "/roll 1-311" and the cycle continues to update (and shrink) the remaining shoe with the cards that haven't yet been dealt onto the table.

3. Why was this AddOn created in the first place?

It was originally developed to replace 'death-rolling' between friends, guild-mates or raid-party members, as a more fun (and interactive) alternative. However, it later became a great way to fill down-time during raids, trash clears, or simply a fun activity to host with friends on an evening somewhere.
