Our methodology
To get the best comparison, only pit games were used. All games dealt exclusively in high-limit salons were omitted. This allows a comparison of what an average Las Vegas visitor will find and prevents big outliers like $500 3:2 double-deck blackjack games that stand on soft 17 from affecting what a typical visitor plays.
Only live table games were included in the minimum table game average numbers. Hybrid live dealer games that do not use chips were not considered. The cheapest table for the game is the only one used. Blackjack games with different rules, like hitting or standing on soft 17, and the number of decks, count as unique games. If a casino deals identical blackjack games with one using a continuous shuffling machine and the other a shoe, we consider this one game.
Low minimum bets do not necessarily mean the game has good odds. Blackjack, roulette, and baccarat tables with higher minimum bets often have better rules. Games like 6:5 blackjack, triple zero roulette, crapless craps, and forced side bets, when dealt at a casino, are averaged with other games, resulting in lower house advantages.
