When Las Vegas first introduced 6/5 blackjack the card counting community was up in arms. There were protests, buildings were set on fire, one guy went on a hunger strike and chained himself to the ‘Welcome To Las Vegas’ sign.

Palms upgraded all its blackjack tables to 3/2, including a $5 one. I spoke with @AC2Vegas_Danzis about these and other player-friendly changes for this R-J article. https://t.co/IzsTplbqBI
Comfirmed: All Golden Gate blackjack, including Free Bet, pays 3/2. The minimum bet is usually $10 or $15 for eight-deck, $25 for six-deck and Free Bet, and $50 for double-deck.
Today (3/2) is national Blackjack Day
In 1999, the @FlamingoVegas was the first casino to change the payout on blackjack from 3/2 to 6/5
The move added 1.4% to the house edge making it essentially unbeatable
On this March 2nd (3/2) we celebrate this legendary casino game and also draw attention to the declining number of 3/2 tables remaining in Las Vegas
