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.

How many decks cards in blackjack?
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.

How many card tables are in a casino?
There are a lot of factors to consider and a set number is not possible. It all depends on how many tables, how many decks in play, how many shifts, and how many drinks are spilled on the cards. Let us assume a casino has 10 Blackjack tables, eight of them have a four deck shoe and two are single deck. They also have one Three Card Poker table and one Let It Ride table, and that all the tables are open 24 hrs, seven days a week. Let us also assume that there are no mishaps such as spilled drinks and that there is continuous play on all the tables. In single deck games the cards are normally changed every two to three hours and when shoes are used the cards are changed at the start of every shift, in this example the singles will change every two hours. Thus, 8 X 4 X 3 =96 + 12 X 4 = 144
