An off-Strip casino has made a gambler-friendly change to its blackjack games, bucking a yearslong gaming industry trend toward rules with a greater house edge.
Palms casino-hotel is now paying 3:2 on all blackjack tables. The rule change applies to all blackjack tables on the main casino floor and in the high-limit areas.
Prior to implementing the new payout, the Palms featured a mix of blackjack tables that paid out either 3:2 or 6:5, the latter of which has become a more common payout for casinos on the Las Vegas Strip. The property-wide change at Palms went into effect on Valentine’s Day.
“We are committed to delivering the best gaming experience for our guests, especially our local players,” said Scott Hager, vice president of gaming at Palms.
