Best comps for video blackjack?

Where can one play 3:2 video blackjack and still get decent comps or points? The one at the D gives no points.

 

Where indeed. A place offering that could as advertise quite successfully. a good idea though.

 

My issue with video blackjack is finding a game that allows double/split. I’ve only seen those at Venetian.

 

Points are going to be the least of your concerns. Video BJ has terrible rules.

Yea, I have played it a little to change up my play.

Your money will not last long.

 

I don't know of any video blackjack games that pay 3/2....6/5 is the best you will find.

 

The stadium style BJ (shares with Craps) at the Linq allows doubles, surrender and splits but is 6:5 and takes a lot of $ to get a point.

 

Last summer I recall EL Cortez video BJ was 3:2. Maybe it still is. But any comps there still means you’re at El Cortez

 

The last time I played stadium blackjack at a CET property was at the Horseshoe in Baltimore in the summer of 2018. At the time, I confirmed that it took $55 of bets per TC/RC (with 1 RC = $0.01 in resort spend, or $0.005 of free play).

Otherwise, El Cortez might be the one place left with the "traditional" video blackjack -- the kind found in a cabinet similar to (or even shared with) video poker or video keno. (Perhaps some bar-top machines still have video blackjack that earns points.) If found there, it probably earns 1 point per dollar of coin-in (meaning $5 of coin-in for an amount of points equal to one cent of free play), and probably separately earns self-comp dollars at the same rate as video poker (0.09% of coin-in).

 

Binion’s offers it (Interblock - both bartops and a stand-alone unit; I’m almost positive they have the stadium version too which has roulette/blackjack/bubble craps); it comps at the same rate as VP ($8 coin-in per point, equating to .3125% cash back and .625% comps) - it is 3/2, DAS, no resplits or surrenders (have been told that equals .8 percent house edge). It squeaks ahead of 8/5 BP and about ties with LDW as their best machine play, with much lower volatility. Can’t download FP to it though (at least on bartops, per my experience)

 

The stadium version at Binions in the former poker room has 6:5 BJ when I was there last fall. I did not look at the bartops or stand-alone unit.
