Notes for List of Casinos

The "tables" column shows total tables with the specific rules delineated in the "rules" column, usually adding together tables of different minimums and maximums within that rule set.
The "edge" column shows the percent advantage the casino has over a basic-strategy player. Current Blackjack News is the source, and may differ slightly from The Wizard's Blackjack House Edge Calculator. Blackjack is a difficult game to analyze, and differences in methodology can play a minor effect on the results. Both sets of figures are more than adequate.
The "cut" column shows the number of decks yet unseen when the dealer usually shuffles.
The "min" column shows usual minimum bets; the actual minimums might be lower on weekdays and higher during the busiest hours.
The "max" column shows usual maximum bets; the actual maximums might be lower on weekdays and higher during the busiest hours.
The "rules" column shows deviations from: BJ pays 3:2; one bet lost to a dealer’s BJ; you may double down on any two cards but not after splitting; you may split any pair; you may resplit any pair except aces to make up to four hands; split aces receive one card each; insurance; and no surrender.
"Database participant" means the casino is known or reasonably believed to be an active participant in one or more outside databases, in addition to its internal corporate database, of law-abiding but unwelcome skilled patrons such as card counters or other advantage players,

Abbreviations used in Rules column
