Marina: Casino Blackjack Question

A recent thread about another Oceania ship prompted me to ask this very specific question...What is the minimum bet on a blackjack table on the Marina? Is it $10? I am a regular blackjack player on cruise ships, and we have booked our first trip on Oceania on the Marina for December, and we are looking forward to it. Unfortunately a minimum bet of $25 would be too rich for my blood, except for a hot minute. On the other hand, I could play for hours at $10 per bet. So a quick answer would be helpful. I think StanandJim has the answer. Thanks in advance.

I do not play blackjack but I pretty sure I have seen $5 bets DH sometimes watches people lose their $$ I will ask him if he remembers

at $25 you would have to be a serious player or maybe I am just cheap when it comes to the casinos

No kidding!

With any "luck" (or lack thereof) you could lose a couple hundred bucks before you blink twice :D

You would need a lot of luck to make it out alive

DH said he also thought it was $5

we barely even do the slots now they are so tight :halo:

Thanks for your responses, LHT & Paulchili!

There was a $10 and a $15 table on Riviera, the $10 table was always more crowded with folks waiting to jump in. But I'm the same way, played for hours and hours playing $10-15 a hand doubling down and splitting along the way. More fun than I imagined I would have gambling on a cruise!!!

Thanks ITGuy! I think I will be able to get plenty of gaming into my upcoming crossing. Thanks for your reply!

I haven't seen a $5 table on an Oceania ship in 4 or 5 years. The standard seems to be $10 & $25.

I've never seen much activity in the Casinos except for when they have a BJ tournament or a Texas Holdem tournament. Most of the slot machines are state of the art, for 1985.

Be nice if there was a $5.00 table but I don't expect to see it. That lets me out most nights.

The Casinos were hopping every night except Monte Carlo (Midnight disembark) and everyone probably lost enough betting $100 hands haha.

Definitely $10 and $15 tables on Riviera for my June Med cruise, it did not seem to change the 4-5 nights I played although some nights were busier than others. Maybe one night both were $10 because I remember the next night the pit boss mentioned my bet was too low ($15 mins) and kindly asked me to adjust next hand. The Casinos like the bars stay open as long as there are patrons and there is a chance they adjust the limits based on itineraries and activity.

Happy to read that there are $10 tables available. Also not surprised that the size of the crowd varies. Thanks to all.
