Single Deck Blackjack in Las Vegas

Navigation: Las Vegas Blackjack > Single Deck Blackjack

Single deck blackjack is a poor game in most Las Vegas casinos. Single deck games in Las Vegas pay 6-5 on blackjack, not the standard 3-2. A game that pays 6-5 should be avoided entirely, regardless of the number of decks. There are no Las Vegas casinos that still offer 3-2 single deck. Playable single deck games can still be found in greater Reno and in Wendover. Because the 6-5 games should be avoided and we do not even consider them to be genuine blackjack, we do not list them in the survey below.
