Seems to get worse every time I go to Vegas but is there anywhere still doing 3/2 odds on $10 bets?

El Cortez very loose rules. 3:2 single deck for $10 minimum, $5 min other games 3:2.

Did ElCo officially go $10 at all times for its SD? Use to be that except for the most busiest of times SD was $5 and the DD was $3.

ElCo is too baller for me now. Thanks Tony Hsieh for cleaning up East Fremont.

OP if you go downtown 3/2 $10 BJ is abundant but even there you still need to check before sitting down.

On the strip its unlikely to find it at the main CET and mgm properties. Last time I was in the Trop and Hooters they had it.

Thanks for the info. Site does not appear to be compatable with the iPhone. I tried it in Chrome but still can't see it.

M Resort is not on the list. The $25 double deck is the best game in town. The $25 double deck at TI is the best deal on the Strip. TI blackjack is just all around great compared to other Strip properties.

They have a $10 double deck H17 with DAS. For $25 in high limit, the game is S17. They also have $10 shoes with surrender and RSA H17. For $25 in high limit, the game is S17. The only 6-5 games at TI are single deck. The info is a few months old but nobody has submitted a correction on it.

The shoe does and also has surrender but the double deck is only DAS.

That shoe game sounds pretty solid. Only downside is that you have to set foot in TI

If you prefer Total Rewards/Caesars, Bally's has the same S17 shoe game minus RSA for $25. That play would probably trigger some offers across the system. It might be worth giving up RSA for. The game is in the high limit area up a few steps from the main pit.

Where is Ballys "high limit"? I've stayed there a few times and don't remember seeing a high limit room

Last time I was there, Margaritaville had 3/2 $15 limit. Not sure if there were other issues.

If you come from the Paris/parking deck side you would turn left immediately when you get to the casino floor and walk along the pit towards Strip. When you get to the party pit there are four tables with five steps leading up on left. That is high limit.

It is popular because it has $5 3-2 games. There is 6-deck and double deck. The shoe is usually $5 and double deck $10. Both are double any two and double after split. No surrender or RSA.

I was looking at the Wizard Of Odds Blackjack survey and it showed Aria, Bellagio, and Caesers with a 6 deck 3/2 RSA DAS Surrender game. I couldn't figure out on the site though what the minimum bet was for those games though. Does anyone know? If that's under a $100 minimum that sounds like a freaking awesome game that i had no idea existed

For this game, at Aria and Bellagio, it is $25 for H17 and $100 for S17. You may find the S17 for $50 during some slow times at Bellagio. Caesars has the S17 version for $100. There is no RSA in the H17 games at any Caesars Entertainment property in Las Vegas.

Then you are seeing the entire spreadsheet. House edge is the last one. Min bet is the third from the left.
