About Blackjack Supplies & Accessories

The most popular casino game in the world, Blackjack, not only offers players the best edge of all games that you play against the house, it is also one of the easiest games to reproduce in your home. So if you want to host a casino night or have a blackjack party, we can help you with the blackjack accessories needed for each table.

First you will need some sort of playing surface. If you are just getting started, then you should begin with a felt layout for Blackjack. These layouts are simply a piece of thick green felt with the standard Vegas style card positions, player options, and dealer rules screen printed onto the surface. They are nothing fancy and are just to help create the atmosphere in an inexpensive way. If you are a veteran and know you will get plenty of use out of it, then you may want to consider a much nicer blackjack table.

Next you will need several decks of playing cards, a dealer shoe to match, a discard holder, and an automatic playing card shuffler. You can make your own decision, but the most popular size of card shoe seems to be the 4 deck dealing shoe. If you choose the 4 deck shoe then the 4 deck discard holder will be plenty big, since you may not use all of the cards before deciding to shuffle again anyway. As far as automatic card shufflers go, you could simply get the 4 deck model if you plan to never go above 4 decks. However, if there is a chance that you may use 5 or 6 decks of playing cards at some point in the future, you may want to go ahead and spring for the 6 deck automatic card shuffler .

Additional accessories that you may want to get for the dealer are a tray for the poker chips and a green shaded visor. The best and most universal tray is the Oak Blackjack Table Tray, since it has a flat bottom and an edge around it. This allows the chip tray to lay flat on a table or to insert into a recess area of the table. The green dealer visor in for character and to cut down on glare from lights.

A couple of possible luxury upgrades to make the players feel more at home are a drink cart and some padded chairs. The casino style drink cart is quite handy with two deep cup holders and a flat top for food or other items. The cart also includes four casters for easy mobility. If you are interested in some nice chairs that will set the mood for your blackjack game or poker game then you will want to get some maple or oak Kestell Poker Table Chairs with the inch and a half padding in the seat.

The previous paragraphs detailed a lot of individual blackjack supplies; however there are some package deals that allow you to buy many of these items together, but at a discounted rate. One of the packages is the Blackjack Accessories Set and it includes the felt layout, a dealer shoe, a discard holder, a card shuffler, 6 decks of cards, and a single cut card. This set assumes that you already have some poker chips, but if you don’t there is another option. The Professional Blackjack Set contains items comparable to the previous set but also includes 100 poker chips and a storage box to keep the chips organized and safe while not in use.
