Minimum bets in casino

When on QE what are the minimum bets on roulette and blackjack? And is the casino in $ ?

Not sure about roulette as tend not to bother, but blackjack is usually minimum $5 a hand. However, they do offer $3 a hand on something called "fun 21" which is a slightly altered version of blackjack (taking out the queens and paying out immediately on 21 rather than waiting to see what the dealer has for a possible push).

 

There's also a side bet you can do at $1 each hand called "fun pairs", eg 2 x 3s, 4s etc. If you get a "captains pair" (2 identical kings) it pays out 50 to 1, otherwise the odds are 5 to 1 for unidentical pair, 10 to 1 for same colour pair, 25 to 1 for suited pair.

 

They also offer 3 card poker on all ships, Texas hold em on the QM2 but not the smaller ships anymore since the casino has shrunk. QM2 offers craps/dice too.

 

I think we're on the same Guernsey cruise, so may see you at the Blackjack tables - on this trip, there'll be 3 of us as myself and hubby are taking my 27 year old niece along to try her first cruise.
