    Do single deck games still exist?

    So I was wondering If any casino in the world still plays a single deck game.

    We only have a fee casinos here and they mostly play 8 decks.

    Anyone hear of single deck these days.

    Thanks.

    They still exist. They generally have a "rule of 6" (or maybe 5?), which means they deal "6 minus number_of_players" hands. With 1 player, they deal 5 hands. With 2 players, they deal 4 hands...etc. At least, that's what my experience has been. (I think I played with RO5, but that was some time ago.)

    There are lots of SD games in Vegas. Some offer good penetration. However, with the exception of the El Cortez, they all pay 6-5 on BJ.
    A few SD games that pay 3-2 exist in Laughlin, or did the last time I was there.

    Get CBJN for full details.

    Yes. Many places still have SD. You probably won't be able to play much more than medium green chips at most of them, though.

    Unfortunately this. Most all single decks pay 6:5 and are just too heavily hawked. Ha ha no 1:16 spread. Most DD games still pay 3:2 still though. Unfortunately most of the pen is junk, but that always seems to vary greatly by who is dealing.

    Still single deck in Northern Nevada (Reno, Tahoe, Wendover) mostly h17 d10 (no DAS) and they deal out about 2/3 of the deck with the last round starting just past halfway.

    Try more than 1-4 and you are asking to be banned.
