The Vegas Club

Located near the end of Fremont street in downtown Las Vegas, and laying claim to “The most Liberal ‘21’ Rules in the World,” this is a place were minor rule variations are part of its history.

Here, the player is permitted to double-down after any two, three or four cards, resplit Aces, and continue to split any other pair as many times as they wish.

The Vegas Club offers the surrender option, and betting stands between $3 to $500. In addition, if a player receives a total of 21 with six cards they are an automatic winner.

However the liberal rules of the Vegas Club are to some extent balanced by various counter-measures that they employ.

Firstly, it only has six-deck shoe games in which the dealers are required to hit soft 17s. In a bid to discourage counters who “track” shuffles, Vegas Club dealers use two discard trays while waiting for the shuffle card to appear. When it does, it is placed almost halfway up the shoe, and since the Vegas Club does not use shuffle machines, playing time is wasted waiting for cards to be hand shuffled.

There are two versions of Vegas blackjack available on the Internet, Vegas Downtown and Vegas Strip. The main differences are that the former is played with just 2 decks and requires the dealer to hit a soft 17, while the latter is played with 4 decks and requires the dealer to stand on any hand of 17 or higher.
