I didn't realize that any casinos anywhere in the world offered $1, $2, or $3 minimum Blackjack tables.
1) This doesn't seem to be a topic discussed much anywhere. In lieu of e-mailing the casinos, can anyone tell me which Las Vegas casinos offer these 'cheap' tables. I 'Googled' this topic, and found, for example, that the Casino Royale, Ellis Island, and several casinos in North Las Vegas used to offer these games - but this info. was outdated. I would sure appreciate any current information on which casinos offer a Blackjack game with player-favorable rules (e.g., 3:2 Blackjack instead of 6:5) with $1, $2, or $3 minimim Blackjack.
2) Are there any out of the ordinary things to expect at such tables, besides lots of players and people who may not be especially skilled as to how to play blackjack?
3) By the way, what is a typical maximum bet at such tables - $25?, $100?

Here is a link to the Wizard's current Las Vegas blackjack survey.
In addition to the very fair Longhorn/Bighorn (same game, different casinos) and Hacienda games that are listed in the survey, Jokers Wild and Poker Palace both spread $2 games.

The cheaper/dirtier/further away from the strip the casino, the cheaper the game -- that's a good rule of thumb.
I like the Klondike Sunset for their $2 game, open late afternoons and evenings (sometimes).
$1 games are rarer than the Dodo. Parse that as you will. Jokers was $3 when I went there last. Ellis Island is usually $5. Casino Royale no longer has blackjack. Poker Palace is fun, as is Jerry's Nugget. I wouldn't recommend the 'Horns.

don't online casinos work for this?

Wow, in Vegas I would assume nowhere...
I know in Reno and Carson City, you can find a good $2 game at a lot of places.
USED to (When Fitz in Reno was open) on Wednesday's they'd have a $1 BJ game (single deck, 3:2, Double-Anything)

OK, thanks so much for the speedy feedback.

I've seen $3 at Binion's (even money at 3, 6-5 at 5), hooters, el cortez.
2 at Hacienda at Boulder City

Places I've seen plenty of $3 blackjack :: Laughlin, Primm and Jean. There was also $3 at two casinos on the route out the Hoover Dam (Hacienda and Railroad pass, I think are their names).
I've also played $3 Jack in various Washington State casinos.
All were non-automatic shufflers.

Check out this link to find table buy-in at various casinos:
I do not know if the info is accurate, but the date indicates it is current. I am going out in Nov, son please let me know if you find any $3 tables....
Thanks!

Hooter's at Tropicana and LVB by the Tropicana Hotel, (a strip location), as mentioned, has 24-7 $3 BJ;
On the Strip, Bill's, Casino Royale, and O'Shea's have cheapie action.
Also some slightly off-strip 'near strip' properties with high class (Westin Causarina) has good inexpensive games.
Actually, I see a lot of dime games ($10) at the Wynn.
On Boulder Highway, The Longhorn (a REAL dive) right by Sam's Town and Cannery-East has many tables of $2 BJ.
Also on Boulder Highway further down, Joker's Wild: $3 everything, and $2 Three-card poker. Gotta love it.
Fiesta Henderson has $3 BJ (a continuous shuffler), $5 commission-free Pai Gow poker ('The Excellent Game') as well as:
$3 craps with 10x odds - with 3:1 on the Field, AND put bets, and 31-for-1, 16-for-1 prop bets - AND automatic buys on the 4 and 10 at $10 and above;
Talk about a great value crap game. One dealer there is particularly friendly and engaging, but will vent about you shot-takers elsewhere....
Club Fortune also has value games, where Nick should be working, but is way down in Henderson on I-515/95.

We're thinking about a 6-7 day trip to LA at Christmas (would have preferred Las Vegas, but I won't complain).
I can surely Google to find some casinos that offer 3:2 blackjack with $5 min bets, whether reservation casinos or not.
However, I've always found it helpful to patronize where others have gone before and enjoyed it.
Thanks in advance for your recommendations - there's no [legal] gambling here in Hawaii!

It would have to be 'reservation', because they don't have normal blackjack in the card rooms of Los Angeles, if that's what you're talking about. There's a lot of Indian casinos in southern California, but I wouldn't call them 'near Los Angeles'. Los Angeles is the poker capitol of the world, not blackjack.

The nearest 3:2 blackjack to LA is at San Manuel. Morongo and Pechanga are both worth the extra drive imo. Last I heard, Morongo has 3:2 single deck.
Rigondeaux
From what I've heard, the LA cardrooms have changed their table games up a bit so that they are not as abjectly terrible.
If so, you are probably better off saving the vacation time and gas money at the $5 level. The Indian casinos are far away, and in the middle of nowhere. The card rooms are in some spotty neighborhoods, but some aren't bad in terms of ambiance. The Hustler Club is pretty nice.

Hi Roger Kint, I don't play blackjack but I played a little today to use some match plays. It was in Northern California, continuous shuffling machine, and decent rules. My question or point is that it was Dealer Stand on soft 17. (6 deck) And that surprised me. Me not being a player, I don't really keep up on it, and I thought pretty much everyone goes H17, even in shoes. Is that not the case? How is that rule down south? I haven't been to Los Angeles or beyond for several years. I was raised there, but now everyone I know there is either somewhere else, or dead. (which is the same thing I guess) So I never go there anymore. In fact, I've never been to Pechanga or half the new casinos down there.

I'm having some trouble posting. I must be really tired. Or I've got to get off these pills.
So am I totally wrong then? Did I open my big fat mouth and not know what I was talking about? I thought Los Angeles didn't have regular blackjack or anything they had was with commission. I haven't been down there since the Normandie had lowball. Somebody slap me and straighten me out.

Im trying to get out! Alive, preferably. I don't normally play blackjack either but I hear there are a few S17 in some far away places like Augustine casino (east of Palm springs).

They brought in blackjack that is pretty much normal a few years back, when I was there. But you still had to play a dollar a hand to play.
From what I've been told, but not seen for myself, they've rearranged things so only the corporation pays commission.

I've been to Augustine. I'm guessing maybe 15 years ago.
I don't know how you guys do it. You hit the 405 at 3:00 p.m. and crawl. So many people. I left in the 90s, it must be murder by now. I couldn't handle it now. Well, with enough Lorazepam I can handle anything.

That's very interesting. Thanks for the info. But tell me something. If the LA card rooms can level the playing field, aren't the Indians going to scream bloody murder?
I've got a friend who owns a card room. I'll try to give him a call in the next couple days.
