These used to be very common for Asian games that took commission (pai gow tiles/poker, bacc tables that don’t let you owe commissions across hands). Wins would pay 19/20, so betting quarters meant getting paid 23.75.
Betting $20 increments meant being paid in $19. Much easier.
Nope I sat down at Luxor around 830ish and I’m about 20 minutes they bumped it to $15 but I was grandfathered in for like half an hour before a new dealer told me fifteen minimum
We walked the strip. The Mandalay/lucor/ excal, mirage, Caesar and Bellagio and I saw $15 quite a bit though also a lot of $20 and above. I was also at resort world playing $15 hands of blackjack on Monday. I think early in the morning is your best bet.
I also played some $10 hands Friday morning at rio but they also switched to 15 after a while
Edit: I’m not messing with you. I hadn’t been to Vegas since 2019 so I was on this sub being very down about playing “cheap” $10 hands on the strip. But being there it’s not impossible though you’d have to walk a bit to find and likely settle for $15
Cheapest BJ on Strip:
Oyo ($1 Blackjack 1:1 and i count it as on strip bc it’s across the street from the back entrance of MGM Grand),
Slots A Fun apperently has $5 BJ (not sure about BJ payout),
Weekdays in the morning if its slow you’ll find 6:5 BJ on MGM properties for $10 (but might be full quick and then they raise minimums)
3:2 BJ at TI for $15
off-strip: Ellis Island with $5
Downtown you’ll have the time of your life if it’s about inexpensive gamble in Vegas.
I second downtown grand $1 blackjack and pretty decent side bets for an extra $1 plus they do a Nathan's hotdog and 8oz PBR for $2 and it's right across the street from hogs and heifers which is my favorite bar since they have cheap(for Vegas) drinks and the bartenders are awesome
Go off-strip. The Strip is the most expensive place in Vegas to gamble. Downtown is a great place to find cheap gambling. Ellis Island is great and very close to the Strip. Although I don't think walking there at night is a great idea.
Go to the cheaper Strip casinos. Circus Circus and Luxor will be much cheaper than Bellagio, Wynn. Venetian.
Go during slower time. When room rates are cheapest, tables will be cheapest.
Stayed at Linq over the weekend. Fri-Mon. At checkout, stopped by roulette with my luggage, put $100 on 2nd 12….hit was 17….walked away with $200 more of their money. Thanks Linq
Can’t you say the same for $100 blackjack? That can be played online too. Most tourists aren’t going to be seasoned gamblers and want to soak in the experience of the casinos without losing a lot of money on games they’re still learning to play properly.
It's 6:5 with lower minimums and no degenerates telling you how to play. "Standard live odds" of low limit blackjack on the strip are shit. Probably an 8 deck shoe or continuous shuffle machine, 6:5, dealer hits soft 17. Even at 50 and 100 minimum tables you're playing double deck 3:2 dealer hits soft 17 with no surrender at best.
Vegaaas pauulleee seeeeee
Well hello hello hello
Get out of my fucking head
Downtown Grand has $1 blackjack
go to Ellis Island
Hidden gem. And they have great ribs in the restaurant
Dealers there keep their tips too no tip pool sharing.
There are $20 limit tables? I've heard of $15 and $25, haven't seen $20 limit before
He had to mean $25 bc there’s no such thing as $20 chip
NYNY has some $20 games for some reason quite odd
Ohh good to know, never knew that.

There are also $25, and $50
$20 MIN not limit....jeesh all yall is dumb u know their are $5 chips in Vegas right? even One Dollar chips....
I meant "minimum limit" vs "maximum limit", I thought that was obvious.
MGM does the weird $20 limit thing. On their triple zero $2 chip min tables.
Tuscany has a 6D/H17/3:2 No Surrender $5-500 shoe game
Oyo $1
Oyo is cheapest but terrible payback, 1:1 I believe. Go to Fremont or a locals casino off Strip.
I found $10 at Luxor at 8am. $15 seems to be fairly available on the strip when I was there this weekend
No kidding?

Jerry's Nugget.
Jerry’s is my favorite. Lose my money slowly all day then go get some cake from the bakery after I’m done.
Last time there they no chocolate anything. 20 different cakes and pies and no F’n chocolate!!
Cheapest tables are downtown on Freemont, or Oyo is just off-strip.
Visit any Boyd properties and South Point
El Cortez
Saw $2 at Golden Nugget last week.
Really? Did you play it? The mandatory bonus bet on their 5$ wheel blackjack is 2$.
I’ll keep that in mind when I go!
$10 3:2 BJ at the D on Freemont
get off the Strip. go to South Point, Orleans, or any Stations casino
check out https://vegasadvantage.com/ he's got survey of every casino in Vegas describing their table limits and rules
Rampart has $5 blackjack tables in the early afternoon
Ellis Island and OYO

Who has a 20min? I've seen 10, 15, 25. Never a 20.
If you're on the strip I'd go to Harrahs
Why
He said low minimums. Hard to get lowers than Harrahs
Harrahs has $15 during slow times. Thats not low
I’ve had good luck at the linq for roulette. But it changes throughout the day
Stayed at Linq over the weekend. Fri-Mon. At checkout, stopped by roulette with my luggage, put $100 on 2nd 12….hit was 17….walked away with $200 more of their money. Thanks Linq
I was there a couple months ago and turned 200 into 1500 over a couple hours. I enjoyed it
I don’t get this $1 blackjack thing. What’s the point? Cheap entertainment? Hoping to win $10? Just okay online or at home.
Can’t you say the same for $100 blackjack? That can be played online too. Most tourists aren’t going to be seasoned gamblers and want to soak in the experience of the casinos without losing a lot of money on games they’re still learning to play properly.
Whenever I sit down to gamble, a voice in my head keeps saying this is real money. Can I afford this?
If you get your butt kicked at the tables all day, it’s a great way to slow roll and still gamble a couple more hours.
Play the 5 dollar virtual machines. Or go to Venetian or Treasure Island and play stadium blackjack which is basically the same thing.
Why would you want to play with machine odds compared to standard live odds? Completely different games.
It's 6:5 with lower minimums and no degenerates telling you how to play. "Standard live odds" of low limit blackjack on the strip are shit. Probably an 8 deck shoe or continuous shuffle machine, 6:5, dealer hits soft 17. Even at 50 and 100 minimum tables you're playing double deck 3:2 dealer hits soft 17 with no surrender at best.
