Vegas Advantage is part of an independent media company operated solely by John and Kristina Mehaffey. So Vegas Advantage relies on fan memberships and media partnerships to cover its costs. Here is one of the ways that you can support our work.
Vegas Advantage Newsletter
Our Las Vegas Blackjack and Table Game Survey is available as part of a subscription service. You can support Vegas Advantage by signing up for a monthly or annual membership. Survey pages are updated several times per month with new data from casino visits.
Vegas Advantage subscriptions are available through Patreon starting at $5 per month. Sign up now for an annual membership and receive a discount of almost 2 months free!
If you or someone you know has a gambling problem, call 1-800-GAMBLER.
Note that there are sites out there that claim to have current Las Vegas table game data, often with our name on it. These are former partners of ours that just change the year on the information without updating the content. Vegas Advantage is the only website that tracks this data in 2024. We have 14 years of experience doing it.
Subscribing to our newsletter is a way to support Vegas Advantage. If you have found our work helpful over the years, we hope that you become a Vegas Advantage Member. The time you save not looking for your favorite games while avoiding games with bad rules makes it worth the price.

Las Vegas Blackjack and Table Game Membership details
The Fall 2022 edition was initially used as the base for our membership options. We started updating it as a subscription service in April 2023. It includes live and electronic table games that are on casino floors. We did not include bar machines because these games tend to short-pay blackjacks and roulette longshots.
Live and electronic table games by casino property
Members have easy access to the Vegas Advantage table game survey by casino property. Accessible files include all Strip properties, all Downtown properties, as well as popular off-Strip and locals casinos.
Casino pages include minimum bets for blackjack and table games, live and electronic versions; blackjack rules, like surrender, re-split aces, and if the dealer hits a soft 17; craps rules, such as maximum odds and payout of a field 12; and our favorite video poker.
Pages are updated throughout the year after property visits. Strip properties are revisited every four months, downtown every three months, while locals and off-strip casinos are surveyed once or twice per year. Subscribers receive Vegas Advantage spotlight updates on at least six, up to nine, Strip casinos per month.

Blackjack and table game surveys by game type
Additionally, subscribers have access to the table game survey by game. Additionally, there is an electronic table game page. Tips include where to find $1 and $3 3:2 electronic blackjack. Most video blackjack games are 6:5 these days. Survey pages are updated throughout the year after property visits.
Las Vegas blackjack
Blackjack survey information is separated into three sections. Subsections include 3:2 and 6:5 blackjack games by deck: single-deck, double-deck, and six-and eight-deck games; and blackjack variants. In addition to whether a game pays 6:5 or 3:2, we cover if the dealer hits or stands on soft 17, and whether the house will let players surrender and re-split aces.

Las Vegas non-blackjack table games

If there are rules that can change within a game, like the number of zeros on a roulette wheel, craps odds, whether the field pays triple on 12, and the type of pai gow poker variant dealt, we have it.
