I walked the Las Vegas Strip on June 5, 2020. I went in all 16 casinos that were open. The information below describes the table games that I saw, the best video poker paytables available at denominations of $5 and below at each casino, and any interesting observations. Video poker information was confirmed through VPFree2<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The first section shows the minimum bet and availability for each table game. The second section is a list of table games by casino. There is no guarantee that you will find the same games at different times. However, this gives a good idea of what is out there and being opened by casinos. <\/p>\n

Casino Royale<\/strong> and Circus Circus<\/strong> will not be on the list. Casino Royale removed all its table games. Circus Circus installed a $5 stadium 6:5 blackjack and roulette game in its pit. The live tables will not open until business conditions improve.<\/p>\n

The most notable observations were that Circus Circus is not opening table games for at least a few weeks and Casino Royale removed live tables entirely.<\/p>\n

                                                                                The list for each casino shows what I found open during my June 5, 2020 visit. A blackjack game with \u201cS17\u201d notes when the dealer stands on all 17s. All blackjack games without this hit soft 17. A game without a notation of number of decks is a six or eight-deck shoe. All blackjack games are assumed to have double down before and after splitting. Any changes from those rules are noted.<\/p>\n

                                                                                Bellagio<\/h3>\n
