Last reviewed 2026-10-04 · rules not yet verified in person
The short version
No live blackjack: electronic terminals only, with $3 minimums reported. Terminal rules are not documented publicly, so check each machine’s help screen.
Skip 6:5 tables
A 6:5 blackjack payout adds about 1.4% to the house edge. That’s more than double the edge of the whole game with perfect strategy. Read the felt first.

Which strategy chart to use here
Use the dealer-hits-soft-17, no-surrender chart. Basic strategy still applies on the terminals. This is the default chart; check the terminal’s help screen for the actual rules:
- Hard 11 vs A: double (hit if you can’t). Why
- Soft 18 (A,7) vs 2: double (stand if you can’t). Why
- Soft 19 (A,8) vs 6: double (stand if you can’t). Why
- Hard 16 vs 10: hit. Why
- Hard 15 vs 10: hit. Why
- Pair of 8s vs A: split. Why
Terminals vary. Match the chart to whatever the help screen says.
Before you sit down
- Open the terminal’s help or pays screen before playing: payout and rules live there.
- Video blackjack often pays 6:5 or reshuffles every hand. If either is true, find another terminal or another casino.
- Set a loss limit before you start. Terminals play fast, often 200+ hands an hour.
- Card counting does not work on electronic terminals.
