Blackjack Minimums


Recommended Posts

I can't speak to Liberty specifically, but usually there is one or maybe two tables with a $15 minimum and everything else is higher. You might find $10 during the day on a sea day.

Of course, there are exceptions to everything, but that's been my experience on most RC/X cruises in the past couple of years.

Vegas it ain't!

 

 

CB Not relevant and un-useful as usual to the OP,s question:rolleyes:

Have you been in a CR recently or ever;)

 

$5 minimum on all RC ships, with a Mickey mouse $1 side bet, so in essence $6 minimum.

Traditionally though will be $10, $25 tables

OP hope this helps.

 

Be Lucky!!

I've never seen minimums on RCI higher than $10, and those were during prime times. There's usually a less expensive table.

 

In 12 years playing BJ on RC we have always played on $25 minimum tables, they are there for sure.

Now maybe on cruises where there are no CR VIP players they might close the $25 tables down and reduce the min limit.

If a CR VIP requests a higher limit table, most CR managers will open one up;)

And then the players generally start to join:D

Haha I'm sorry, my post was very poorly worded and confusing. I meant to comment on the lowest available minimums. I've never seen a scenario on RCI where one who was looking to pay for as little as possible had to play at a table with higher than $10 minimums.

 

My bad! I've definitely seen those $25 minimum tables... But they're a little rich for my blood :p

I've always seen the $6 minimum as well, either played as $5 with the side bet or just a straight $6, which is what I always play as I don't like the gimmick bets. I've seen some recent Cruise Compasses that advertise $3 tables during the day, usually 4:00-7:00 on a port day or something along those lines.

On Radiance in January they had $5 tables, no side bet necessary. P

reviously I had only seen $6 as the lowest.

I guess you weren't on Brilliance a couple of weeks ago. Never saw a minimum (at night) less than $15.

See above. If I recall correctly, it was the same on Quantum in November. It was jam packed and smoky though so I didn't spend as much time then so could be mistaken.

As we know with RC things are different from ship to ship.

BUT in general minimum tables are $5 / $6, and this is what the OP is interested in

 

Guess you were not on Jewel in June, where the table minimums were $100.00:eek:

That was invite only;)

I'm truly curious.... what Royal ship were you on and when that you saw a $5/6 minimum blackjack table at night? I haven't seen one in quite a while.

Want to clarify, do not think I said I saw $5/$6 tables at night time.

But sea days pretty sure they would of been available

 

But can confirm as someone has already posted there were $3 minimum tables on Jewel in November between 4pm-7pm

Quantum's 3 night sailing in November only had one $15 BJ table, other BJ tables were higher. The casino was also jam pack for those 3 nights. We may have been on the same sailing.

Explorer had $5/$6 BJ tables day and nights for years and up until our last sailing on her this past November.

I have seen these minimums in the evening on Voyager and Radiance

$10 minimum BJ tables at night and they were typically packed. A couple single deck tables with higher minimums with no one or maybe one person most of the time. At least this is what i saw in January on Brilliance. Wanted to play some, but not at $10 minimum. Like $5 and a busy table. I don't lose as fast. :)

Yes, during the day you can find lower minimums. At night? Good luck finding minimums below $15. It's been a long time since I recall seeing any at night.

Yep, it was the 3 nighter that we were on on Q.

 

And yes, I USED TO see $5/6 frequently in the evenings. Not anymore.

I see that your Voyager cruise was in '13 I think? Thinking things have changed since then. And Radiance was over in Tasmania; maybe they get a different market over there and have to lower the minimums.
