tv24 Posted July 21, 2017 #1 Share Posted July 21, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LHT28 Posted July 21, 2017 #2 Share Posted July 21, 2017 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulchili Posted July 21, 2017 #3 Share Posted July 21, 2017 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ITGuyMD Posted July 25, 2017 #6 Share Posted July 25, 2017 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!!!

tv24 Posted July 25, 2017 Author #7 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Thanks ITGuy! I think I will be able to get plenty of gaming into my upcoming crossing. Thanks for your reply! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ORV Posted July 26, 2017 #8 Share Posted July 26, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ITGuyMD Posted July 27, 2017 #10 Share Posted July 27, 2017 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.

tv24 Posted July 27, 2017 Author #11 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Happy to read that there are $10 tables available. Also not surprised that the size of the crowd varies. Thanks to all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
