Amid all the recent talk of value in Las Vegas, a major Strip casino has been quietly offering a rarity on its gaming floor for weeks now: a live dealer $5 blackjack table.
Excalibur, an MGM Resorts International property, is the only casino on the Las Vegas Strip promising the low-limit table game with a live dealer. A highway billboard and a casino floor sign at Excalibur have been advertising $5 blackjack “Dealt by hand” since mid-summer.
The $5 game at Excalibur pays 6:5 for blackjack, and the dealer must hit on soft 17, according to the listed table rules.
Excalibur, a budget-friendly property at the South end of the Las Vegas Strip, has electronic table games with even lower limits. Digital craps, roulette and blackjack are offered with a minimum bet of $3.
