We will be heading out to Vegas soon. Which strip casinos offer low limit $10 or less Blackjack with a 3:2 payout on BJ.

Also do any of the Poker Rooms have 1/2 Limit Holdem
Thanks

From what I hear On the strip its hard to get less than $10 blackjack at peak times, at 6:5, nevermind 3:2. However there are a few places that do $10, maybe less when its quiet.
All the info you need can be found in the Wizards Blackjack Survey

Anywhere with a smaller card room may have lower limits. The Flamingo might be a good bet.

You shouldn't have a problem finding a $10 game almost anywhere, especially if you are there on a weekday or you go early in the day.
Your best bet is Bellagio (of all places). TI and Monte Carlo are also highly recommended.
Don't know about the poker.

That's an unusual game.

Typical low limit games are $1/$2 NO limit, and $2/$4 LIMIT.

On the other hand, novice players are often confused by the blinds and bets of limit games. The $2/$4 refers to the bet size. Pre-flop and on the flop, its $2, On the turn and on the river, its $4. Note: The $2 pre-flop is also the big blind. The small blind would be $1.

So a $2/$4 game would be $1/$2 blinds, and $2/$4 bets.


Note that unlike the rest of the casino, the house gets it's share from a rake, and the rake is the same regardless of the betting minimums, so there is no reason for a casino to randomly change the minimums. For this reason, the betting limits are fairly universal.


Note: Some casinos do have unusual games. I was in Bally's A.C. yesterday. In addition to $2/$4 limit, they have $1/$3 no limit, and $1/$1 no limit! The difference between those two no limit games is the buy-in. The max was $300 and $100 respectively.

a lot of places play 1/3 nl now. ceasars, aria, monte, probably most now.

i think o'sheas bill's or royale that has a .5/1 nl. never played it tho.

if u waant less crazy games probably go to freemont st. and if 2/4 scares you, its probably a sign your not ready to play.

Circus Circus and Slots-A-Fun had the BJ you are looking for last time I was there. Though I have heard Slots-A-Fun is now more tightly integrated with Circus Circus and that may have changed.

General rule is on the strip the seedier it looks the lower the limits. Me, I like a casino that looks like a casino and not Disneyland so I like that.
