klfrodo Posted June 24, 2012 #2 Share Posted June 24, 2012 My last cruise in March, minimum was $6. FYI. They use continuous shuffling machines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hassellcastle Posted June 24, 2012 Author #4 Share Posted June 24, 2012 $6? That's an odd amount. Is it like the Indian casinos, where he extra $1 is an ante? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cccer Posted June 24, 2012 #5 Share Posted June 24, 2012 I have seen regular blackjack at $10 and the bonus game blackjack at min of $5 if you bet $1 on the bonus game. I think that's how $6 is the min bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmckim Posted June 24, 2012 #6 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Do they pay 3/2 or 6/5 on BJ? Also, is the Bonus bet a match bet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfadj Posted June 24, 2012 #7 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Do they pay 3/2 or 6/5 on BJ?Also, is the Bonus bet a match bet? Still see $ 5 tables and they pay 3/4 on BJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mithril379@aol.com Posted June 24, 2012 #8 Share Posted June 24, 2012 I just got off the Miracle. They had $6 and $25 tables. The $6 minimum is the actual minimum and does not contemplate any "bonus bet". I think they expext it to encoursge people to just bet $10 and from what I saw they are right. Dealer hits on soft 17. They use the infinite shuffle machine on most, but not all, tables. Sent from my Kindle Fire using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paige-ryan Posted June 25, 2012 #9 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Hi all,Just curious, as I don't remember from last years cruise. Are there any $5 minimum Blackjack tables in the casino? $6 tables, but $5 can be placed as the bet, and $1 on the pair plus. Pair Plus is betting that you'll get two of a kind. Pays even higher if you get same colored pairs, and even higher than that if you get identical cards....50 to 1 or something like that. I always place my $5 bet, and then $1 on the Pair Plus (or is it called Fun Pairs?). That way, even if I have a crappy hand like two 7s...at least I get paid on the pairs. :-) EVERY SINGLE TIME WITHOUT FAIL....if I give up on the pairs and just do a regular $6 bet, I end up getting dealt a pair. Ugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ugh. The "Fun Pairs" can pay out quite well just like you mentioned, and you can bet $5 + $1 on the fun pair. They have one or two "Fun 21" tables where there is no auto-shuffler but rather the shoe, however they take the queens out so we stuck to playing with the auto-shuffler.
