Las Vegas 2023 Single Deck Blackjack Minimum Bets and Odds

Many Las Vegas casinos have removed single-deck blackjack tables over the years. That is because most paid 6:5 (instead of 3:2) on blackjack, and casino management determined that players would still give action at 6:5 games with more decks. This makes dealing single-deck less attractive with its lower house edge and slower game when compared to six- and eight-deck tables.

Las Vegas is down to one 3:2 single-deck blackjack game in 2023. It is at El Cortez. It became the only one left after Silverton turned its 3:2 single-deck game into a 6:5 one in 2020.

Las Vegas single-deck Super Fun 21

There was one blackjack variant that was dealt single-deck in Las Vegas. This was Super Fun 21. It was dealt at Cannery in North Las Vegas for $5. This game was lost in 2021. You can read more about it in our Las Vegas Blackjack Variant Graveyard.

Super Fun 21 has some unusual rules. The most important is that blackjack pays even money unless it is suited to diamonds, which then pays 2:1. Blackjack always wins, even on a push. The dealer hits soft 17. The game also offers a double-down before and after splitting, re-splitting aces, surrender at any time including after a double-down, a five-card Charlie on hands of 20 or less, and a six-card Charlie that pays 2:1 on 21.

Super Fun 21 dealt with one deck has a lower house edge than a standard 6:5 single deck game. With perfect play, the house edge is about 1.16%. A standard single-deck 6:5 game has a house edge of around 1.5%. A double-deck version of Super Fun 21 can be found at Sam’s Town.
