Can BJ machines be beat???????

I was in Arizona playing at one of the reservations on a BJ machine. I was playing for the minimum knowing the odds would be against me, but wanting to keep my basic skills sharp. The set up of the machines were either five or six players playing against one dealer. I am wondering if the following scenario would work.

I would assume these machines are based on a random single deck card generator program. You obviously can't count for the purpose of varrying your bet because each hand is random, but you could count each individual hand for the purpose of making better decisions on hitting, standing, doubling, insurance, and splitting. In a single deck game with Vegas rules the odds are very close to being even with the house having only the smallest of advantage. If you had multiple players working as a team you could count every card dealt, and subsequently ever so slightly improve your odds. Most of these machines have a low maximum bet so you probably wouldn't be able to clean up, but it seems to me that this could work.

Please let me know where my theory is flawed if you can. It's probably not worth the effort, even if it would work, but I would be curious to know the answer. Thanks.

if Blackjack pays 3:2 (not 2 for 1 which is the same as even money) and penetration is good...if it's just one hand then shuffle it can beaten if you get enough slot club cashback or hard comps (comps that can be converted to cash) to overcome the house edge depending on the rules.

what are the exact rules and cash back %?what is the max bet and where is the machine?

your blackjack hands is very carefully. Most bj video machines pay even money, not the same as at a real table, and this makes a tremendous difference in the machine's edge.

...which is the same as one TO one, or in other words, even money blackjacks. You may occasionally run across a video blackjack machine that actually pays 3 to 2 on blackjacks. Such a machine merits closer examination since it MAY be beatable, depending on other factors, not the least of which is the cashback % return.

I only stayed a few minutes when I found out for sure they didn't have table bj. The payout on a bj was 3:2, splitting was standard, you could double down on any first two cards. I'm not sure about doubling after a split, because I never got a chance. The maximum bid was $8. It was one of the reservations in Phoenix, or more precisely the Chandler Rd. area of Mesa.
