Foxwoods only offers 6-deck and 8-deck blackjack. They do have good rules though. The dealer stands on "soft 17" and you can surrender. I will improve this answer by confirming that foxwoods does not offer single deck blackjack but does offer 8 deck blackjack S17 DAS LS
No. There are only 6 deck and 8 deck games in Connecticut.
No. 8-Deck and 6-Deck on high limit tables
Yes, but they pay 6:5 on blackjack instead of 3:2, so the odds are terrible.Hollywood Casino - Baton Rouge, LAIsle of Capri: Grand Palais - Lake Charles, LABoth places have a $25 table minimum on the single deck.Hint: The odds are much better for you on the double deck games.
There is currently no double deck blackjack in Atlantic City.
Yes single deck blackjack tables are the best for the gambler, as they offer a lower house advantage. However, single deck are fast changing and more commonly you will find 6 or 8 deck games, as the more decks in play the more house advantage there is, so i don't know if you can still find many single deck games. However if you can still find single deck tables around then these are definitely the best ones to play on. :-)
All forms of Blackjack use all the cards in the deck.
Single deck blackjack games exhist in Atlantic city couple with the 6:5 ruel where blackjack pay 6:5 instead of 3:2. Overall the house edge in these games is about 4x that of their 8 deck counterparts paying 3:2 Breifly, last winter the Hilton offered a 2 deck game where blackjack payed 3:2, It was raped by card counters, in response they tightened the rules a bit to allow the player to double only on 10 and 11, a few weeks later, it was removed. Prior to that tropicana for a short period offered 4 tables with 4 deck blackjack If you still wish to play the horrible single deck games they can be found at the following casinos....

The probability of drawing two kings from a single deck of cards is 4 in 52 times 3 in 51, or 12 in 2652, or 1 in 221, or about 0.004529.
Blackjack was played with one 52-card deck until card counting was discovered. Once casinos realized that card counters could gain an advantage over the "house" (casino) fairly easily on single deck games, they began to change the rules and add more decks. Today, you can find very few single deck games, and if you do, the rules have been altered to heavily favor the house. There are some double deck games, but most blackjack games are known as "shoe" games. They are 4, 6, or 8 deck games where the cards are placed in a plastic holder. Dealers do not hold the cards while they deal like they would in a single or double deck game. Shoe games make it more difficult for card counters to gain an advantage, but it is still possible to gain an advantage counting cards in shoe games under the right conditions.
Most blackjack in Atlantic City is 8-deck, with the exception of some high limit rooms dealing 6-deck, and just a few 6:5 paying single deck games. The single deck games in AC have the worst odds by far, so stay away from those for sure!
It depends on the blackjack variation that you are playing -- it can be played with as few as 1 deck and as many as 8 decks. Since- and double-deck games are dealt by hand, while games with 4, 6, and 8 decks are dealt from a shoe. In general, the higher the number of decks that are used corresponds to more liberal betting options available to a player. For example, in a single-deck game, players can double on 9, 10, or 11 only, while in an 8 deck game, the player can double on any two cards. Also, many casinos have moved to paying 6-5 for a single-deck blackjack, while continuing to pay 3-2 for a blackjack from a 4, 6, or 8 deck game.
