I can’t offer much knowledge, as I haven’t played blackjack in almost 15 years now. I know it used to be possible to come out slightly ahead on food comps at the Stations Casinos just by playing perfect basic strategy, only because they allowed doubling down after splitting and had a fairly generous comp rate on their players’ card. I doubt that is the case these days.
For card counters, blackjack has been dead for some time now, with continuous shuffling machines, short pay 6 to 5 on blackjacks, reshuffling early, computer algorithms to catch counters, etc. Of course, the squares are totally oblivious to these, and they continue to merrily give their money away.
