In poker either the house charges a percentage, or they charge for the seat at the table.

I'm almost certain your wrong about black jack. I've seen from multiple sources that even with perfect play (but no card counting of any kind) the house still has a small advantage. I haven't actually tried to calculate the odds myself, it could be that its a wide spread myth that the house has the advantage over perfect correct play, but I don't think it is.

Blackjack is however one of the games where the houses margin is low. And of course card counting can turn the houses margin negative if you can do it, and get away with it.
