Blackjack Minimum And Maximum Bets
Hi I have a question. Some one know the table limits of blackjack, for example, some table have limits of Minimun bet $50 max bet $500. I want to know all the limits, and if this limits are part of the rules of the Blackjack. Internet gambling venues offer far more leniency on betting limitations, with minimum and maximum stakes varying from site to site. Online blackjack can be played for a minimum bet of a ridiculously low 50 cents, with some maximums out there allowing bets high in the thousands. Low Blackjack Table Minimums on the Las Vegas Strip. Keep in mind I’m only considering casinos on the Strip for this article. Downtown and off the Strip will hopefully be covered another day. Single Deck – All single deck games on the Strip pay 6:5 on blackjack (a $50 bet gets paid $60 on blackjack instead of the usual $75). The information has the minimum and maximum bets, game rules, and the number of tables each casino spreads for the game. Las Vegas blackjack is broken up into three different Las Vegas Strip sections, as well as the downtown and locals markets. There are also sections for specific blackjack games.
I recently went to a Charity Poker Room where the minimum bet was $2, but the maximum bet was $10. I would think that a maximum bet of only 5 times minimum would be a Huge House Advantage. You would only be able to double your bet twice.
Does anyone know how much this rule increases the House Advantage, and to what is the new House Advantage? Is there a website that has this calculation?
All Las Vegas Strip casinos, as well as some in the downtown and locals markets, short-pay some blackjack tables with a 6:5 payout. The list below shows the minimum bet it takes for you to find a 3:2 blackjack table so that you can get the best game for your bankroll.
The minimum bets and rules listed are based on my observations when visiting Las Vegas casinos in December 2019. Minimum bets may increase during peak hours or due to a policy change.
The list assumes that the game is a six or eight-deck shoe with double down before and after splitting and the dealer hitting soft 17. If there is a variation from these rules, it is included in parenthesis.

Las Vegas casinos with no 3:2 blackjack games
Blackjack Side Bets Explained
There are three Las Vegas casinos with table games that do not offer any traditional 3:2 blackjack games. Those casinos are Binion’s, Casino Royale and O’Sheas. I found 3:2 tables with a forced $1 side bet at Binion’s but no other ones. The other two casinos have no 3:2 tables of any kind, based on my observations.
