Are online computer dealed Blackjack casinos legit?

I recently started playing online Blackjack single player vs. the computer (not live dealer) on the BetMGM site.

Single deck, automatic shuffle up after very hand.
Dealer stands on soft 17, can only split once, but can double after split. Blackjack pays 3:2, no "surrender", double down on any 2 cards against any dealer "up"card.

Playing just for fun. Not going to make or lose any significant money betting $2 per hand, but it's fast as with being just me and the computer dealing, I can play over 100 hands per hour.

However, compared to live blackjack I notice the dealer beats me by 1 or so a lot more than I would expect, and I bust when hitting with 12 to 16 vs. dealer 7 and up much more than it seemed in a live game, whereas the dealer busts much less than I would expect with a 5 or 6 "up" card.

I play Basic Strategy to the letter, as per a couple of well respected Blackjack strategy books, but while I get the odd streak of wins in a session, I get more losing streaks, and almost always end up losing by the end of 30 minutes to an hour.

I've read some comments on Reddit, etc. suggesting that the computer-based Blackjack algorithms heavily favour the house.

Has anybody else had similar or different experiences playing one-on-one computer based Blackjack on BetMGM, or any other casino betting sites?

I would play Live games on the BetMGM site with real dealers dealing real cards from a multi-deck shoe, but with $10 minimums and up it becomes gambling for me, and not just casual fun.

 

I see it's been a while since you’ve posted, but I just want to ask if anyone here has more recent experiences with RNG blackjack versus live dealer games? I’ve been comparing results and can’t help but notice some patterns on the computer-dealt tables that feel off. Anyone else feel the odds are tighter now than a few years ago, or is it just me overthinking bad luck?
