Once again at Betfair we’ve rewritten the rules of gaming with the first ever zero edge casino lounge. Our recently launched casino sports a pioneering Zero Lounge where you can play at absolute equal odds on 4 of the most popular games: zero blackjack, zero roulette, zero Jacks or better, and zero baccarat. Yes, the House edge is zero, meaning that if you apply optimal player strategy you can expect 100% pay out!Zero Lounge What we’ve done is change the rules, or created additional rules on each of these 4 games to bring the House edge down to zero. Let’s start with Zero blackjack as an example. The rules are pretty much the same as for regular blackjack, except that a couple of features have been added to bring the House Edge down in favour of the player: 1) 5-Card 21: If at any stage the player achieves a points-total of 21 having taken exactly 5 cards on the hand, the player will immediately be paid out at 2:1. A player 5-card 21 beats any dealer drawn 21, but does not beat a dealer Blackjack. The 5-card 21 rule does not apply to the dealer and therefore a dealer 5-card 21 will "push" against a player 21 with less than 5 cards. 2) Suited Natural Blackjack: In Zero Blackjack a Suited Natural Blackjack, where the players first two cards total 21 and are of the same suit (eg Ace of Spades and Jack of Spades), pays 2:1 instead of the standard payout of 3:2 for a Blackjack. A Suited Natural Blackjack does not beat a standard Blackjack and if both the player and dealer have a Blackjack (regardless of whether it is a standard Blackjack or Suited Natural Blackjack), it is always a "push". 
The other 3 Zero Lounge games have each been modified to provide an expected payout of 100%, when using optimal player strategy. If you play Zero Jacks or Better and are dealt a Royal Flush with 5 coins, the payout is 22% higher than the standard Jacks or Better payout. Our Zero Roulette boasts one simple but major difference in that we have completely removed the 0 which levels the playing field between the player and the casino! Last but not least, in Zero Baccarat the commission taken on winning banker bets is only 2.75% instead of the standard 5% commission rate on the game resulting in a 100.0% expected return on Banker bets in the game. Main Lounge There are 36 classic casino games to choose from in the Main Lounge, ranging from the novel and exciting slot machines, to the timeless craps table and increasingly popular blackjack. You won’t find a better selection of unique and innovative games on any other casino. Enjoy card games such as blackjack, three card poker, and Pai Gow poker to name but a few. Or go for something new and unusual by trying red dog or casino war. Plus, you may choose from 9 Video poker machines, 10 slots, 4 soft games, two types of Roulette, and of course the intricate and intriguing Craps table. There’s something for everyone here. If you're the type who likes a bit of social chat whilst you play, then Common Draw Roulette is the game for you. In this game you are actually playing alongside other players from all over the world. The wheel spins every 30 seconds giving time for all players to place their bets. You will see the same result as the other players, and the chat function allows you to exchange strategies or just get to know your fellow punters. As you may have noticed, yet again, Betfair has wowed the gaming industry with an entirely novel approach to a long-standing practice, where the focus is always the player’s enjoyment, and above all, fairness. Needless to say, Betfair loves winners, and after just 3 weeks of play we already have many successful players to congratulate.
