Inflation has hit the country hard. Las Vegas is no different. However, there are still casinos where $5 blackjack is available. Many pay 3:2 on a dealt blackjack. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some tables have minimum bets lower than $5. Three of these pay even money on a dealt blackjack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the games mentioned below hit soft 17. Players may double down before and after splitting. Some $5 games may not be available during peak hours like nights and weekends. This information is from our summer 2023 newsletter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Downtown Grand<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Downtown Grand<\/a> is the only downtown Las Vegas casino that deals a real $5 blackjack game. It pays 3:2. Surrender and re-split aces are available. Downtown Grand has the only blackjack in downtown Las Vegas<\/a> with these rules. It is dealt out of a continuous shuffling machine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is also a $1 blackjack game<\/a> at Downtown Grand. It pays even money on blackjack. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Downtown Grand table games are open 11am to 3am Monday through Thursday and from 11am Friday to 3am Monday morning. You will also find a $5 craps game<\/a> with 10 times odds. These $5 games may go up to $10 during busier hours. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Golden Nugget $5 Lucky Cat Blackjack<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Golden Nugget<\/a> has a $5 blackjack game in downtown Las Vegas. However, it comes with several undesirable strings attached that make it the worst blackjack game<\/a> that I have ever seen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The game is Lucky Cat Blackjack<\/a>. When the dealer has a 22, it rolls some dice for a longshot bonus instead of paying out a bust. Most of the time, it is a push. The game pays 6:5 on blackjack. The worst part is that there is a $2 mandatory side bet<\/strong>. I estimate the house edge at the minimum bet is 8.95%. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You are better off playing the triple zero roulette<\/a> table in the same pit than this carnival blackjack game. Its house edge is lower and the game is slower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

$5 blackjack games on the Las Vegas Strip<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are no live $5 blackjack games on the Las Vegas Strip. You can often play video or stadium blackjack. However, those games usually pay 6:5. An exception is Treasure Island. It has 3:2 stadium blackjack starting at $1 during the week. The minimum bet may go up to $3 on weekends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oyo is just east of the Strip next to Tropicana. It has a $1 even money blackjack game. You will also find $5 6:5 tables there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

$3 blackjack in the Las Vegas locals market<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Poker Palace has an unusual 3:2 blackjack game for $3. It uses six decks<\/a>. Players may double down on two or three cards, before and after splitting. It also has a $2 double-deck blackjack game<\/a>. However, it pays even money. The pit is open during late afternoon and evening hours. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

$5 blackjack in the Las Vegas locals market<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Most of the $5 blackjack in Las Vegas is found at locals casinos. Most tables pay 3:2. There are a few that are under $5. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cannery<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There are three $5 blackjack games dealt at Cannery in North Las Vegas. Its single-deck game pays 6:5<\/a>. The double-deck and six-deck tables pay 3:2. All Cannery blackjack games permit players to double down before and after splitting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ellis Island<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There is one $5 3:2 blackjack table at Ellis Island. In addition to normal double down rules, players may re-split aces up to four hands. It is dealt out of a continuous shuffling machine. There are many $10 3:2 blackjack tables dealt out of a shoe at Ellis Island. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jerry\u2019s Nugget<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There are two $5 blackjack games at Jerry\u2019s Nugget in North Las Vegas. It is available in a double deck and a six-deck. Both pay 3:2 and have standard double down rules. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

M Resort<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

M Resort has a pit with $5 blackjack by the Raiders restaurant. Most of the tables have the Raiders logo on them. Blackjack pays 6:5. These tables are only open during peak hours. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Blackjack

Skyline<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Skyline has $5 3:2 six-deck blackjack. These tables are open Thursday through Monday nights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

South Point<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There is often a $5 six-deck blackjack game at South Point. It pays 3:2 and has standard double down rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How $5 and lower Las Vegas blackjack has changed since the pandemic<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If I had written this article in February 2020, there would have been 38 casinos in the Las Vegas market that dealt 3:2 blackjack at $5 and below. Today, there are eight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At that same time, there were four 3:2 blackjack games under $5. Today, Poker Palace\u2019s $3 six-deck game is the only version of it left in the entire Las Vegas market. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
