why are single deck blackjack games basically extinct at casinos now
Hunting for real single deck blackjack feels a bit like searching for an honest crypto casino that actually lets you clear a decent bonus. Sure, casinos could just shuffle more or use auto-shufflers, but single deck makes card counting so much simpler that most places simply crush the payout rules instead. Stuff like 6-to-5 blackjack or restrictions on doubling down takes away all the edge. Honestly, I haven’t seen a true, playable single deck outside of maybe an occasional local spot with tiny limits, and even those rules are usually brutal. At this point, it’s mostly nostalgia.
