Usually the single deck blackjack versions of 21 will give you the best odds and lower the house edge to almost nothing. One thing to watch out for with single deck games is what the blackjack pays out. Some blackjack tables offer 6 to 5 odds instead of the typical 3 to 2 odds. Never play at the 6 to 5 odds table unless you know that there are other rule changes that give benefits back to the player. This means that a blackjack pays out less than a 3 to 2 odds, or $6 for every $5 wagered instead of winning $3 for every $2 betted. This gives the casino a bigger edge.

Vegas downtown casinos also have low betting limits on their tables. Some even offer limits as low as $2 per hand. If you play online for real money, then it's common to have a minimum betting limit of $1 or even less than a dollar such as $0.10 ten cent bets. Many people like to play free blackjack and often times small betting limits. Either way, the internet Vegas downtown blackjack can be played for free and is a great source for practicing the game.
