Las Vegas 2024 Six- and Eight-Deck Blackjack Survey

Nearly every Las Vegas casino offering table games deals a six- or eight-deck blackjack game. The house edge between the two is only about 0.02%. For this reason, we combine them into the same page. Some casinos deal both a six- and eight-deck game. In general, the six-deck game is in high-limit, while the eight-deck game is on the main casino floor.

Most casinos along the Las Vegas Strip, plus a few downtown and locals casinos, deal 6:5 shoe games. These are typically at lower-limit tables. We do not include these in the report. However, in many cases, it does not take that much higher of a bet to get the 3:2 payout. In some cases, it can even be the same minimum bet at both tables.

Vegas Advantage is supported through memberships, sponsors, and advertisements. If you or someone you know has a gambling problem, call 1-800-GAMBLER.

Make sure to read the felt or sign at each table to determine the payout before sitting. We do not include these 6:5 games on the list below. However, you can find them on the casino listings within the geographical sections of the survey.

We collected the following information in late 2023 and early 2024. Below are summaries of the blackjack games found in each casino. More detailed information, including blackjack and table game rules and minimums, is available through our monthly subscription service.
