Las Vegas 2024 Double Deck Blackjack Survey

Double-deck blackjack is the most popular form of the game in the Las Vegas locals market. This section covers where to play double-deck games in Las Vegas. We collected the following information in late 2023 and early 2024. The minimum bet ranges shown are what we predict are the lowest limits you will find, often in the mornings and afternoons. Expect higher minimums during busy times.

The game is harder to find on the Strip than at locals and downtown casinos. When it is available on the Strip, the minimum bet can be very high. In some cases, it can take a $500 minimum bet to get a double-deck game on the Las Vegas Strip. In downtown Las Vegas, double-deck games can run from $10 to $50, with a few high-limit tables with a $100 minimum bet also available.

There are a variety of different rules among Las Vegas double-deck games. The only thing that these games have in common is that surrender is never available. The rules vary between whether the dealer hits or stands on soft 17, whether players can double down after splitting, are paid 6:5 or 3:2 on blackjack, or whether aces can be re-split.

Best Las Vegas double-deck blackjack game

The best double-deck game in Las Vegas has a new home. In December 2020, M Resort, which once offered the best double-deck game, removed its stand-on-all-17 double-deck tables in its high-limit room that also allowed re-splitting aces. These tables were converted into ones that hit soft 17. That means there is a new game at the top in this year’s Las Vegas Blackjack Survey.
