Single-Hand Game

A single-hand game plays one hand per round: one video poker deal, one blackjack box, one baccarat wager, as opposed to the multi-hand formats that resolve several at a time. It is the default in most card and table games and the slower of the two, with fewer results per minute, one stake per round and outcomes that are easy to follow. For anyone learning a game's rules or reading its paytable, the single-hand version keeps the cost of each round transparent and leaves time to take in what happened before the next deal. The house edge is identical to the multi-hand version of the same game. What differs is how much money is exposed per round and the pace at which a balance rises or falls.
