no house edge table games

I modified some paytables on common table games to have almost no house edge for playing at home where you might want equal opportunities. I personally have a clay set of poker chips and my friend and I play at 1/10 value (red chip = 50c instead of $5) or sometimes for fun, but the point is having something cheaper than a casino and neither of us having a long-term advantage.
Anyways, I was able to calculate this by using the math supplied by wizard of odds and other people way smarter than me. I tried to keep all the numbers "even" so that you aren't payed 364 to 1 on a royal flush. House edge of course based on perfect strategy. Expect my numbers to be off slightly (by 0.05% or less?) just because of my rounding and significant figures. Heres what I came up with:
Blackjack:
(0.26%) 6 decks with late surrender and all the other good rules. (+0.01%) for 1 deck H17 nLS
___Trilux/(21 + 3) side bet: (+0.01%) you need to make a 3 card poker hand with your 2 + the dealers upcard
Flush - 5 to 1
Straight - 10 to 1
3oaK - 30 to 1
SF - 50 to 1
RF - 250 to 1
3 aces of spades* - 1000 to 1
*I made this up to add 0.40% to the game
Ultimate Texas Holdem:
Divide by 4 for the Element of Risk
___Blind: (0.12%)
Straight* - 1 to 1
Flush* - 2 to 1
Full house* - 3 to 1
Quads* - 10 to 1
SF* - 50 to 1
RF* - 750 to 1
*Must beat the dealer
___ Trips: (+0.01%)
Trips: 3 to 1
Straight: 4 to 1
Flush: 7 to 1
Full House: 10 to 1
Quads: 20 to 1
SF: 40 to 1
RF: 50 to 1
___Ultimate Pairs: (+0.08%) side bet based on your 2 hole cards only
Pair - 5 to 1
Ace + Face - 10 to 1
Ace + Face Suited - 20 to 1
Pocket Aces - 60 to 1
Johnny Deuce Suited with the Dealer (J2)* - 750 to 1
*Made this up again. You and the dealer must have Jack 2 suited. Removing it takes away about half a percent
Mississippi Stud:
This game is very hard to play perfectly so I would consider 50 to 1 for quads or even making a pair of 5s a push. I have no idea what the math is for that push but I do know that modifying the pay on trips or worse changes the payback way too much
___Main Game: (0.08%)
Pair 6s - 10s - Push
Jacks or Better - 1 to 1
Two Pair - 2 to 1
3oaK - 3 to 1
Straight - 6 to 1
Flush - 8 to 1
Full House - 10 to 1
4oaK - 40 to 1
SF - 150 to 1
RF - 1000 to 1
___3 Card Bonus: (+0.05%) side bet based on the 3 community cards only
Pair - 1 to 1
Flush - 3 to 1
Straight - 8 to 1
3oaK - 25 to 1
SF - 40 to 1
RF - 150 to 1
3 Card Poker:
___Ante Bonus: (0.03%) I find it crazy that simply changing the typical 1-4-5 paytable to 2-4-5 brings the house edge to only 0.12%
Straight: 2 to 1
3oaK: 4 to 1
SF: 5 to 1
RF: 10 to 1
___Pairs Plus: (0.13%) since you can play this bet independently, I took 10 off the RF to give the house the edge again.
Pair - 1 to 1
Flush - 3 to 1
Straight - 8 to 1
3oaK - 25 to 1
SF - 40 to 1
RF - 140 to 1
These are the common games I know of and the side bets that my local casino offers. Again, none of this would be possible without the math from wizard of odds. I feel its only right that I share this with you guys since I don't see much talk about no house edge games on the internet

It would be simpler to just have the person who is the house rotate between the players. In BJ, the dealer rotates after every dealer BJ, etc.
This forum is more enjoyable after I learned how to use the 'Block this user' button.

Thats a solid option too but I like dealing more and my friend likes playing more. Especially if you are playing by yourself a little extra payback is nice. If I did switch I rather it be on a per time basis

Dealing / playingQuote: richodudebut I like dealing more and my friend likes playing more.

Is it the position or the specific action that you/your friend prefer?
IE. Maybe you should always deal, but use a dealer button to determine who plays as the house.
I invented a few casino games. Info:

Superstitions are silly, childish, irrational rituals, born out of fear of the unknown. But how much does it cost to knock on wood? 😁
