3:2 Blackjack Games Become Scarce in Las Vegas

Finding good 3:2 blackjack games in Las Vegas is quite challenging for blackjack players. Most Las Vegas casinos offer 6:5 blackjack games because of their higher house edge according to onlineblackjack.com’s las vegas chart.

This does not mean that blackjack players will never find 3:2 blackjack games, but the minimum bet for 3:2 blackjack games is $25 per game. On the other hand, the minimum bet for 6:5 blackjack games is either $10 or $15 per hand.

Las Vegas has eight Caesars Entertainment casinos, and for several years, they were noted for offering more 6:5 blackjack games than any other Las Vegas casino. But today, even MGM Resorts offers more 6:5 blackjack games. Things have changed so much that players rarely get a 3:2 blackjack game for a minimum bet of $10 per hand.

Caesars Palace has the worst blackjack offerings in Las Vegas. The casino pays 6:5 for blackjack, but players can double their bets only if they have 10 or 11. This increases the house advantage by at least .2 percent, which is not at all profitable for the players.

Some of the lesser known Vegas casinos still offer 3:2 blackjack games. For instance, players will still find 3:2 blackjack games for $10 per hand at El Cortez.
