beck1942 Posted July 26, 2017 #1 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Could someone tell me if the casino on the boat has a roulette table or automated wheel and what the minimum bet is? Also is there live poker and what is buy-in, ante, etc? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beck1942 Posted July 26, 2017 Author #3 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Thanks for reply! So if you play inside it is $1. Is there a minimum there? Like do you have to play more than a dollar minimum --- like 4 numbers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like do you have to play more than a dollar minimum --- like 4 numbers? I was on the Oosterdam in December, and I think all HAL casinos have the same gaming rules. For roulette, it's $5 on the odds/evens and the colours, anything on the inside is $1, but you still must wager $5 spread over the layout. You can't put four, $1 chips inside, it must be 5 chips. .

Rare kazu Posted September 9, 2017 #6 Share Posted September 9, 2017 What is an automated poker table? I haven't seen one on HAL. Just dealers. (ie., real people). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshajc Posted September 9, 2017 #7 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Good. Someone had mentioned automated poker tables and I'd never heard of that. Are there Texas Hold'em games/tournaments? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare kazu Posted September 9, 2017 #8 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Good. Someone had mentioned automated poker tables and I'd never heard of that. Are there Texas Hold'em games/tournaments? Yes, on every cruise I have been on (including 3 on the Westerdam). And slot tournaments too ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My normal bet on the wheel has been $4.00 on inside bets and have never, on any cruise, been asked to bet more. About an hour ago I bet the last $2 I had for tonight and it was taken without any problem at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unclerich Posted June 30, 2018 #16 Share Posted June 30, 2018 We found the Westerdam casino to be small and one of the least attractive areas on the ship. The positives: friendly staff and smoke-free. The negatives: the tightest slot machines we've come across. That includes over 20 cruises on 4 different cruise lines. It truly felt like the money was going in to a shredder. We're very much aware of the casino odds, but this was so bad as to lack entertainment value.
