The minimum bet depends on the table you play at. I haven't been to Atlantic City, but every casino I have been in has different tables with different minimums. The lowest I've seen at the big ones is $10

# What are the Blackjack rules used in Atlantic City casinos?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2014-03-26)

I understand that Blackjack in Atlantic City casinos is regulated by the state and that they determine the rules of Blackjack that all the casinos must adhere to.

Specifically, I would like to know:

* Is the dealer required to stand on a soft 17?
* How many decks are used?
* Is the shoe normally played to the last card or is it shuffled before being empty?
* How many times can you split?
* Can you double down after splitting?
* Can you double down after splitting Aces?
* Can a split Ace be dealt more than one card?
* Does a split Ace and ten value card count as Blackjack or 21?
* If the dealer has Blackjack and you have 21 (but not Blackjack) do you lose the hand?
* What is the payout for Blackjack?
* Is insurance offered? How much does it cost?
* Is late or early surrender offered?
* What is the minimum bet per hand at the major Atlantic City casinos?
* By how much can you increase or decrease your bet between hands?
