Las Vegas Blackjack Survey

Last update: Nov. 3, 2009

The table above of Las Vegas blackjack rules are republished from the Oct. 2009 issue of Stanford Wong's Current Blackjack Newsletter (CBJN), except as noted. Per our arrangement, I may re-publish rules pertinent to the recreational blackjack player for Las Vegas only. For information relevant to the card counter, the CBJN contains information on penetration, mid-deck entry rules, detection technology used, level of heat, and other useful information to card counters. The CBJN covers almost every casino that offers blackjack in the United States and Canada. They do not cover player-banked games or those with extremely low maximum bets. For the counter, or anyone who cares about good rules outside of Vegas, the CBJN is worth every penny. The price is $89 per year.

The column headings are sortable. Click on any column heading, for example the house edge, to sort the rows by that field. To sort in the opposite order, click the desired column heading again.

Key
  • Casino: Self-explanatory
  • Location: Area of Las Vegas casino is located in.
    Boul = Boulder City area (Hacienda)
    DT = Fremont Street area
    East = East side of town
    Hend = City of Henderson, which is south and east of Las Vegas
    Hoover Dam = Hacienda Casino, just west of Hoover Dam
    LV = Casinos near the Strip, but not right on it.
    NLV = Casinos in the north part of Las Vegas
    north = Casinos just north of downtown south= Casinos in the south part of Las Vegas
    Strip = Casinos on the main stretch of Las Vegas Blvd (Mandalay Bay to the Stratosphere)
    west= Casinos in the west part of Las Vegas
  • Game: Type of game
    BJ = True 3 to 2 paying blackjack. Any game not paying 3 to 2 should not be called “blackjack,” but rather some kind of 21 variant, at least in my opinion.
    SF21 = Super Fun 21
    Spanish = Spanish 21
    Switch = Blackjack Switch
    TU21 = Triple Up 21
    6 to 5 = The dreaded game where blackjacks only pay 6 to 5, and should be avoided, regardless of other rules.
  • Decks: Number of decks used. The fewer the decks, the better the odds are for the player.
  • Soft 17: Indication of what dealer does with a soft 17
  • Double after Split: Indication of whether the player may double after a split, which he usually can in Las Vegas.
  • Surrender: Indication of whether player may surrender, assuming dealer does not have a blackjack.
  • RSA: Indication of whether the player may re-split aces.
  • DR: Doubling restriction. In Las Vegas, this rule is usually only found on 6 to 5 paying games, adding insult to injury.
    D9 = Player may double on 9 to 11 only
    D10 = Player may double on 10 or 11 only
    None = Player may double on any two cards
  • BJ pays: How much player is paid on a winning blackjack. For games in which the win depends on whether the blackjack is suited, an average win is indicated.
  • Footnotes: Indication of unusual rules.
  • Tables: Number of tables with said rules.
  • Minimum: Minimum bet allowed
  • Maximum: Maximum bet allowed
  • House Edge: The ratio of the expected player loss to the initial wager. The Current Blackjack Newsletter is the source, and may differ slightly from my Blackjack House Edge Calculator. It is not that one of us is right or wrong, but that blackjack is a difficult game to analyze, and differences in methodology can play a minor effect on the results. Both sets of figures are good enough, in my opinion.
