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.
In 2024, Las Vegas lost its last 3:2 single-deck blackjack game. It was 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. Today, there are no 3:2 single-deck blackjack games in Las Vegas.
