Mgm $5 Blackjack
As this is one of MGM’s “big time” properties, table game minimums are all upwards of $10. Baccarat tables at the MGM Grand have a $10 minimum. All tables feature standard rules. Unless you go to the high limit section, 6-5 odds are the payout for all blackjack games.
- We never found an open $5 Blackjack table, but we did however find $10 – $25 and up tables, waiting for us after all the short-timers lost their bankroll for the evening. We did find in the evening on Sunday and weekdays the Rio, had one table of $5 Blackjack open. Even during the day we were hard pressed to find any $5 tables at the Rio.
- At a mere 10-15 minute walk from resorts like MGM Grand and Tropicana, OYO should be on the to-do list of visitors seeking low limit blackjack. Although not “ultra low”, Strat, Excalibur and Luxor offer $5 minimum blackjack on the Strip. Cheap Blackjack Downtown Las Vegas.
Way back in February we informed you that the Massachusetts Gaming Commission will allow the new casinos opening in the state to deal 6:5 blackjack. MGM Resorts International is famously known for offering the less popular blackjack payout. In fact, they helped usher 6:5 blackjack games into Maryland casinos when MGM National Harbor opened in 2016.
This week MGM Springfield opened and they are indeed dealing 6:5 blackjack. They’re also dealing some 3:2 blackjack games. Much like Las Vegas casinos, the higher limits games offer the better payout for a natural blackjack. A tweet from Gary Trask of Casino City on opening night showed that the majority of blackjack games at MGM Springfield paid 6:5 for a natural blackjack. However, MGM Springfield has a decent number of 3:2 blackjack games for those who want to pony up the higher wagers.
Unofficially, the tonight there were 54 #blackjack tables at @MGMSpringfield, with 14 of them paying 3-to-2 on blackjack, and dealer standing on all 17s, but they’re $25 min bet. The others are $15 min bet with blackjack paying 6-to-5, dealer hitting soft 17. pic.twitter.com/gNEoTWOaBr

On opening night, more than half of the table games at MGM Springfield were blackjack. For better or worse, the ratio of 3:2 blackjack game to 6:5 blackjack games is similar to other MGM Resorts International casinos in other cities. At least $25 (and higher) players will get a decent blackjack game. The 3:2 blackjack game allows players to split three times. There’s no surrender and the dealer stands on 17. This game should have a modest house edge of 0.46%.
While Massachusetts blackjack rules allow a casino to offer 6:5 blackjack, they limit how bad the games are. All 6:5 blackjack at MGM Springfield are pitch games with a single or double deck. These games may not be dealt from a shoe. This is advantageous to the player.
The house edge for a $15 double deck blackjack game that pays 6:5 is approximately 1.63%. The house edge of a $15 single deck blackjack game that pays 6:5 is approximately 1.37%. Both of these are more than 3 times larger than the $25 game that pays 3:2. However, the house edge on these $15 games would be worse if dealt from an eight deck shoe. In that case, the house edge would be approximately 1.81%.
MGM Springfield blackjack rules aren’t perfect for gamblers but they could be worse. If it wasn’t for the blackjack rules in Massachusetts they probably would be worse. You can see our post from earlier this year on the rules for Massachusetts blackjack.

KevinAA1) it's Las Vegas
2) it's the weekend
Today I wanted to do the same here in downtown Reno and found zero $5 BJ 3:2 tables. There was one seat at a $10 table at Silver Legacy. El Dorado never has $5 3:2 BJ. Circus Circus removed their 3:2 video BJ game and replaced it with 6:5. So if it's zero in Reno (in three casinos on The Row), I would guess it's going to be zero in all of Las Vegas.
What do you guys think?
There are those stadium gaming outfits -- I think TI and the Venetian both have them -- that have $5 blackjack. I've never played it though.

Said originally it was 8:00, just before the last drawing of the night, so the absolute busiest time. Any other time there will be even more seats open, in the 'wee hours' can often find a $5 table completely empty. It was at Aliante, city of North Las Vegas, not Las Vegas, but the second or third most expensive off-strip casino built in the entire valley (along with Red Rock and GVR), so very good representative of any Boyd or Station's. Never knew Reno had such a scarcity of $5 blackjack. But Las Vegas has more than enough to go around even on the weekends
I forget that place.
Used to have itsown twitter feeds in English and Spanish.
Its Big Strip, Little Strip, Downtown, .... with NLV being a separate official compilation but so few casinos that a sneese can change the stats.
I went to NLV to play the don'ts my first trip to Vegas. Mismatched cartridge shells in the parking lot. I left broke in just a few minutes.
Aliente brought the place up but it is still bottom feeder's paradise. no frills means more money for the player which is good.
Its Big Strip, Little Strip, Downtown, .... with NLV being a separate official compilation but so few casinos that a sneese can change the stats.
Las Vegas valley is over 400 square miles with thousands of miles of roads, The Strip is about three miles and downtown is about one city block. When looking in only one very small area it might be hard to find a $5 table. When looking at the entire region, there are hundreds of those tables -- and even at the busiest times plenty will have open seats
