All I can say is that tourist will play at what ever the table is as long as the price is right . Try and find a $5 or $10 blackjack table that's not 6/5 The funny thing about it is they don't complain about it until they get a blackjack. Even then the still sit there and play. Until everyone stops playing 6/5 blackjack it will be here for a long time. I could not work in the casino anymore because they have ripped off the customers too much with the 6/5 blackjack and telling everyone to use the players cards to get comps. I got so tired of players who buy in $20 and want comps playing $5 blackjack at 6/5 only to get yelled at for telling them they have 3 cents available.

I've had several supposedly "Vegas savvy" people not realize there was any difference in H17 and S17 games. They just looked for table minimum/maximum bet numbers they liked. I've heard one casino on the strip may have introduced a 7/5 blackjack payout game. Better than 6/5 but still less than optimal - and even more confusing.

Hopefully this 6/5 thing doesn't get out of hand. People just need to pay attention to what's going on. I played at Hard Rock recently and they had some six deck tables that paid 6/5 on blackjack.
