Rigged, I'd only play in a real casino. Its programmed to take your account to 0. 1/26 chance on wheel of fortune and it lands on 26 right after I take under 22 and it hits over, BS, and anytime you get blackjack or 20 you push. BS I actually have done well on the nickel slots but I quit when I'm ahead, up a whopping 35 cents.
Um. Even if it wasn't rigged, the standard deviation in blackjack is large
and if your sample size is small your results could be meaningless.
For example, even if you are playing perfect basic strategy, the
standard deviation is still 1.14. Say, you play one hand every 30
seconds for 120 minutes, at $20 per hand. That's 240 hands.
The SD for the session is sqrt(240) * 1.14 = 17.66.
Multiply that by the ave bet size = 17.66 * $20 = $353.20 and
that is one SD from the mean. Now if you factor in the expected loss
because of the house edge:
$20 * 240 * .0045 = $21.60
So, one SD from the mean is a loss of ($353.20 + $21.60) to
a gain of ($353.20 - $21.60):
- $374.80 -> $331.60
You have a 68.3% chance of falling w/in 1 SD of the mean,
you have 95.4% chance of falling w/in 2 SD of the mean,
you have 99.7% chance of falling w/in 3 SD of the mean.
So in the session above, even in a totally legit game you have a 5%
chance of losing up to (2 * 374.80) = ~$750.00
And, more likely a 68.3% chance of falling in the 1 SD range
- $374.80 -> +$331.60
And if you were to play 100 sessions like the above, you'd likely
hit a 3 SD session with losses up to $1000.00.

My main point from the math above is that online BJ is going to kick your ass
if you play enough - even with a non-rigged game.
(Because you can't count cards in an online BJ game).
Though, Unified Gaming had an online BJ game years ago that
showed you when the shuffle was. I took a few online
casinos using that software for about $50K.

The Microgaming casinos are IMHO as real as any regular casino.. I have played them thru Intertops .
Online Blackjack is as pointed out above damn near impossible to beat over any stretch. As his example points out IF you play perfectly they still have a big edge. Then u X that by the fact you can play 2,3 or 4 times faster and naturally your going to lose faster..

Actually, when I was bonus hunting 40 hrs a week a few years back,
I found most of the main software providers to be fair:
real-time gaming, bossmedia, cryptologic, microgaming,
playtech...
Though many of the real-time gaming licensees were sleazy, and
didn't like to payout winners.
Before the US shut down online gaming, there was little incentive
for the online casinos to cheat - the players were plenty, and
the house edge built in to the games combined with stupid players
generated all the income they needed.
Now that the US market is shut down, the online casinos may need
to up their house edge to generate enough money to stay open - but
that is just conjecture on my part.
..I respect your opinion but hoping not to get myself in trouble, again, I will tell you that the online slots are rigged..How else do you explain me sitting down at the slots ( touchdown fever, jurassic one too) and losing every freeakin day, day in day out for a year to the tune of 100K..Yeah I am an asshole and I admitted back then to being sick..you would think I would hit just one freakin time..the newest scam is the bingo and contest type setup where you always just get beat out by a fabricated name..The sportsbooks who advertise here are great and I would recommend every one of them for wagering sports!
