All games listed below hit soft 17 unless otherwise noted. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n There are eight casinos in this section. MGM Resorts owns seven of the eight.

The minimum bet noted is our predicted lowest offered at the casino. This pertains to slower hours. Minimum bets may go up, sometimes drastically, during busier hours. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n The best blackjack is found in four high-limit<\/span> salons in this section of the Strip.

These games add surrender and re-split aces. The casinos with both games are Aria, Mandalay Bay, MGM Grand, and Park MGM. Tropicana deals the six-deck version. The minimum bet ranges from $100 to $500 for these games but can be more during busier times. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n The pandemic affected table game hours at many casinos, especially high-limit salons. If you go to a casino to play a specific game, we recommend making sure that the pits or salon will be open at that time. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n Aria<\/a> hosts five different blackjack games. The casino’s eight-deck blackjack and Free Bet Blackjack pay 6:5 and start at $15 and $25. It takes $25 or $50 to get a traditional 3:2 game, depending on the time of day.

Doubling down before and after splitting is allowed.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n There are three blackjack games at Excalibur<\/a>. Players may choose between two 6:5 games for a $15 minimum.
