Atlantic City casino revives $2 blackjack tables
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — Atlantic City’s oldest casino is going “retro” — at least when it comes to blackjack.
Resorts Atlantic City plans to resurrect $2 games at two blackjack tables for a trial run starting next month. But players will have to pay a 25-cent fee per hand.
The fee is the first of its kind in the gambling resort. It was approved Wednesday by the New Jersey Casino Control Commission.
Resorts’ table games director Kevin Brown says the $2 tables will target players who are just learning blackjack and may be intimidated by higher-limit games. He says the 25-cent fee will help defray operating costs.
Once common in Atlantic City, $2 blackjack tables have been replaced by higher-limit games in the profit-driven industry.
