A 3:2 payout for a $100 bet would be $150.
A 6:5 payout for a $100 bet would be $120.
Avoid 6:5 at all costs. The house edge on these games is usually around 1.5%. Most shoe games range from 0.4-0.8% depending on rules and the number of decks. A basic strategy will usually lose their money 3-4 times faster playing a 6:5 game.

Be aware of single deck
Single deck is not always the best game because in Vegas a lot of time they short change you with a 6 to 5 payout meaning you get $30 less on your $100 blackjack! Double deck games are usually the best because you can get a 3 to 2 double deck game with double any two double after a split!

Where are you staying?
If staying on the strip.
The strip has no playable single deck games, but some casinos have very good double deck and 6 deck shoes. Other casinos have some terrible double deck games and poor 6 deck and 8 deck shoes. So the area of the strip can help us guide you away from bad games.

Will you be betting $100 a hand or will you be betting less?
There are different ways to go depending on your bet. There are places we can recommend for $5 bettors that we wouldn't send a $100 bettor to,and places that have superior $25 games but bad $5-10 games.It depends on what level you are playing.

they use whole numbers to describe payouts, otherwise everything would be X:1.. 3:2=1.5:1, 6:5=1.2:1, etc.. of course then you would have the question of "why do they pay 1.2?".. also, casinos have $2.50 chips incase there is an odd amount, but if you are a very low bettor, never bet a $2.50 chip, as they dont have $.25 chips, and they will round down, thus you lose $.25! oh yes, a quarter loss everytime you bet a pink and get a blackjack, you will go broke! hey, this mattered to me when i played $3 blackjack betting flat
One casino I go to pays a $2.50 chip on BJ with 4 $1.00 chips(and takes the $2.50 chip) so you make a quarter if you get a BJ with a $2.50 chip in the bet.
Another doesn't have $2.50 chips but instead have $.50 chips. Those get paid even money on a BJ so there you lose a quarter on a BJ with a $.50 chip bet.

A little confused here
You bet $2.50 and get a blackjack, they pay you $4 but take the $2.50 chip?Or do they pay you $6 and take the $2.50 chip?
If they only pay $4 and then take that $2.50 chip, instead of a 3.50 or 3.75 profit on your blackjack, you are getting a 1.50 profit. That is blackjack paying 5/8 or quite a bit less than 1 to 1.

i always wondered why casinos dont have 50 cent chips, or use actual quarters.. good to know some do, i would also prefer that
this is more significant than you think.. if you are betting $5.50, it would go as follows: .25/5.50 = 4.5%, then .045*.0476(chance of getting blackjack)=.02, so just by betting $5.50 instead of $5 or $6, you automatically reduce the house edge by .02%, which is a sweet deal i think, for doing basically nothing.. of course if you are betting like $20, this is a non-factor

Your math mystifies me lol.
Firstly, 0.045*0.0476 does not equal 0.02.
Secondly, it doesn't equal 0.02% either.
Thirdly, the chances you state of getting BJ is wrong in any game.
Fourthly, don't forget to divide by the bet amount.
Fifthly, I don't even understand why you chose a $5.50 bet or what you are paid for a BJ if that was your original bet.
Not to mention why "betting $5 or $6" leads to the same reduction in HA.
The big point here is that winning an extra 25 cents on a $2.5 BJ bet (getting paid 4$ instead of $3.75) is enough to turn the HA to the player's favor in even a 6D game.
