Las Vegas lost one of its two remaining 3:2 single deck blackjack games in 2020. That was at Silverton. It had rules of double down on 10 and 11 only. That game was downgraded to a 6:5 payout.

Many Las Vegas casinos removed single deck blackjack tables over the years. That is because most paid 6:5. Casino management determined that players would still give action at 6:5 games with more decks. This makes dealing single deck less attractive with its lower house edge and slower game when compared to six and eight-deck shoes.
