Mgm $5 Blackjack
I finally decided to check out the new casino in PG county Maryland and first off, the casino is nice. It almost feels like you are in a Vegas casino--- until you try to play blackjack.
All the blackjack tables on the floor have continuous shuffling machines-- let me say that again-- all of the blackjack tables are like that on the floor. Sad part was that they were all packed and some minimums as high as $50!!!
The high limit room has hand shuffled decks with a couple of $100 and the rest $200 tables. Those tables, all 6 of them were packed and i couldn't play, but it was 6D, S17. The pit manager I talked to told me that the other half of the high limit room will be continuous shuffling machines also. She even said it was a joke that management was doing that.
For those outside of Maryland, PG county or Prince George's county isn't the best place to be so it does bring in a healthy dose of degenerate gamblers which explains why the blackjack tables were packed.
After, I left the HL room, I played Let It Ride-- just to play a game. Wow-- bad mistake. Bonus bet was $5 and you have to play the 3-card option at the table minimum just to play the bonus bet. What a rip!!! I still played a few hands and only won because the dealer mis-paid me $400 on a 3-card straight-- shhh don't tell MGM. I don't think they care considering they are going to make boat loads of cash on blackjack alone.
Outside of that--the distance to DC is nice since they do have some nice restaurants and lounges there-- but be prepared to pay for it.
I plan to go back in the early AM and check out the HL room and play some blackjack-- i'll update my thread if I spot anything that is advantageous.
Nothing beats finding an open $5 table game, especially on a busy weekend. The closing of the Riviera took with it the only $1 blackjack game on the strip, but at the right time, you can still find a couple of micro-stakes tables. Here are a few places to hit up for $5 or less.
- Mgm $5 Blackjack, insurance and gambling ppt, slot solidworks mate, casino x no deposit bonus codes 2019.
- Wager $25 on blackjack, craps or roulette to earn one point. The more you play, the more points you’ll rack up. In turn, this will increase your status. The loyalty program consists of five tiers, identical to those at MGM casino resorts. They are: Sapphire (starting point) Pearl (20,000 points).
*Note: Obviously, many casinos offer $5 games on early weekdays. These are a few of the best offerings. I do not include any blackjack tables at a 6:5 payout.
The Strip:
Spanish 21 is a variant of blackjack with fewer playing cards in the deck. MGM Springfield now offers $5 minimums on some table games Monday through Friday, 6 to 9 a.m.
Excalibur – $5 craps tables can be found day and night. Try to stay away from < $10 blackjack at MGM properties though, as they typically pay 6:5
Cromwell – Probably the classiest place to find a $5 game on the Strip. The craps table is affordable in the morning and early afternoons.
Bally’s – Will, on occasion, actually run a 3:2 $5 blackjack game. The same can be said for both Paris and Flamingo.

Circus Circus – Odd, since it’s an MGM casino, but it runs a $5 blackjack game with decent rules. This find comes from blackjack expert Ken Smith when he shared it on a recent podcast episode.
Casino Royale – This mid-strip casino is a low roller favorite. Cheap drinks, permeating Subway scent, and $5 craps. What more do you need?
Treasure Island – Has a lot of $5 blackjack games with decent rules. TI is quickly becoming a go-to Strip casino for low rollers with generous paytables and liberal drink comp policies.
Downtown:
Virtually every downtown property offers $5 table games. Here are a few of my favorites:
Golden Gate – Always offers 3:2 $5 blackjack and $5 craps, even on busy weekend nights. It’s my favorite gambling spot downtown.
Fremont – Craps fans can get their fix in at the Fremont, which has one $3 table running occasionally. It can be quite busy there, so you may have to wait a bit to find a spot. They also have a $3 blackjack game running at various times.
El Cortez – The Cortez has afternoon limits of $1 on roulette and $3 on craps. It also runs a single deck 3:2 blackjack game with a $5 minimum.
Main Street Station – Great craps odds and good craft beer always within arm’s reach. A great place for all types of gaming.
Off-Strip:

Off-Strip casinos, just like downtown, offer $5 games 24/7. Here are a couple you may want to try if you’re adventurous:
Ellis Island – Not far jaunt from center Strip. Runs $5 BJ and craps most of the time. Plus, you can grab some cheap craft beer and sing your heart out at karaoke.
Joker’s Wild – If you have a rental car and feel like taking a drive, this low roller joint has the cheapest craps around. $1 minimum and 10x odds. Yowza!
Alternative:
Electronic – While certainly not the same as sitting down at a live table and holding real chips in your hand, these can be a great alternative in the evening when limits go up. Electronic BJ and my favorite, Shoot-to-Win craps, can be found in numerous casinos and be played at extremely low stakes. The minimums tend to fluctuate, but I and others have had no problem finding games for $3 and under at all hours.
Know of any others? I’m always on the lookout for cheap gaming!
