Casinos are making it harder to win Blackjack historically paid out a ratio of 3:2 when a player hit 21 on the first two cards. Now, many blackjack tables on the Strip pay out at 6:5

MGM and Caesars—the two biggest operators on the strip— have reduced how much they will pay for winning hands at blackjack at many of their tables

@GunjanJS Saw this in most recent visit to Vegas. Almost all $15 and lower Blackjack tables are gone. $25 min most everywhere. And fewer live tables overall. Saw a lot more 6-5 payouts. Have to be careful and pick tables where correct payouts still remain.

@GunjanJS This is just for the <$15 tables. If you’re taking 6:5 playing higher you deserve to lose it all

@GunjanJS First the resort fees Now this WTF @VitalVegas 😉

@GunjanJS They ran the math and know the vast majority of tourists on the strip either don’t know the difference or don’t care.

@GunjanJS Be the casino, not the gambler

@GunjanJS Just stop gambling 🧐

@GunjanJS That is pretty crazy. Never thought that got adjusted

@GunjanJS As they say, The house always wins..

@GunjanJS Casinos with a lot of debt with floating interest rates that reset every quarter gotta make them payments one way or another....

@GunjanJS Your casual gambler ie the vast majority of tourists won’t know the difference. The higher limit players will definitely have access to regular 3/2. They wouldn’t play otherwise.

@GunjanJS This has been coming for a while now, along with roulette table with a triple zero. Wtf.

@GunjanJS Casinos used to be kinda fun. Now they are stressful. The greed by the casinos has sucked the entertainment value out of it.

@GunjanJS Well sure, they have to make back their missed revenue from the 2019-20 covid time

@GunjanJS Are you telling me treasure island is 6:5 now too?

@GunjanJS AI coming hard and fast

@GunjanJS Good news, will not play anymore if this continues.

@GunjanJS Best to be in Wall Street - bigger better safer casino!
