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.
Etymology and usage. Casino is of Italian origin; the root casa means a house. The term casino may mean a small country villa, summerhouse, or social club. During the 19th century, casino came to include other public buildings where pleasurable activities took place; such edifices were usually built on the grounds of a larger Italian villa or palazzo, and were used to host civic town functions. The table minimum at our casino is $14.00, while each chip is worth $2.00. If we intend to place an outside bet, we have to play with at least 7 chips on every single bet in order to stick to the minimum requirement. The chips we operate with cannot be spread. That means there will be a max bet on roulette and a table minimum. Roulette max bet explained. When you visit a live casino, you will find various roulette tables. They will be split into variants of the game, like European or American Roulette, and into stakes levels. You will typically see the minimum bet to determine the stake levels.
Venice Casino Minimum Betting
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
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.
