It seems that single-deck blackjack is beginning to gain popularity down Las Vegas strip again. They advertise it as “the good old days are back”, and things of the sort in order to call players’ attention, but in fact, it is nothing but a trick.
This type of blackjack game pays less than the rest, 6 to 5 instead of 3 to 2, so if you gamble $10 dollars and have a blackjack, you get only $12 rather than the usual winning of $15. Game after game, this 3-dollar difference may turn into a great loss of money, no matter how lucky the player is.

In 1901 gambling was prohibited in Wyoming. In 1935 the Legislature approved the legalization of casino gambling but the governor vetoed the measure.

On Saturday, the Casino inaugurated four blackjack tables in the middle of its main room. “People are having a blast despite the lack of alcohol on the premises,” said Peggy Black, Wind River Casino table games manager.
Jason Aldean, top new male artist nominee by the Academy of Country Music Awards, is now in Las Vegas, ready to attend the awards ceremony Tuesday night.
