Hey if it works for you, go for it. Blackjack used to be my fallback game in a casino when I was too drunk to think straight enough for real strategy.
What would be a "real strategy" game? Poker? Craps? Blackjack is the only one I ever felt "good enough" at to play for money.
Blackjack is pretty formulaic about the best move to make depending on what cards you get and what the dealer's up card is. You can look it up, it's a chart. Memorize it, walk in, and you're in business. A lot of casinos will even give you a card to have at the table with all the moves on it if you ask. The only real variance is that casinos use multiple decks so it messes with the probabilities, so you're always at a very slight disadvantage even if you play "perfectly." Counting cards can swing that last couple% points of probability in your favor.
So there's no thought or strategy to it. If X, do Y. It's pretty easy to learn, so it's very beginner friendly. Also great for when I'm hammered and can't play anything that I need to have mental skills for.
Craps is gambling. There's infinite numbers of "strategies" but they're all just different ways to bet, just more complicated versions of "put 100 on black" at a roulette table, and none of them will beat the house over time.
Poker requires tons of thought to play well, and there's no skill ceiling. I wouldn't necessarily call it a strategy game but there are strategies. It's an adversarial puzzle game of broken information, it's not gambling.
Ah yes, the intense strategy of craps and slots. Poker maybe but even so, the main winning strat is just know when to walk away. Everything else is just chance.
Poker is what I was referring to as requiring thought, yes. But more complicated games like craps can also be too much if you're hammered, especially at a busy table.
