Blackjack minimum

[copi2boys]

What is the minimum for blackjack tables now on Silhouette? TIA

[RJRULES]

Not sure about current minimums. In the past there was always a $5 table during the day if not later. If they increased during the evening it was $10 minimum.

On the Equinox, 5:6 was $10 and 3:2 was $25

Agreed.  When it was slow, it was $5 and that was during the day.  It moved up in the evening as mentioned.

Yup.  This trend toward 6:5 blackjack payout on all but higher ante tables is getting really annoying.  It adds yet another 1.39% to the house edge.  It's often reserved for single deck games to lure in the amatuer card counters.  I didn't stop to see if X is using single or multiple decks on their 6:5 tables.

For what $ tables?

[fliprcruiser]

Equinox had single deck $10 min, $500 max I believe

No, what I meant to ask was "What $ tables were paying 6:5"?  As you get higher ante tables, they usually get back to the 'proper and correct' 1.5:1 !

There was 1 6:5 blackjack single deck table near cashier, 2-3 other tables near entrances with multi deck shoe paying 3:2. 

 

Single deck table was dealer seated low table, others were high tops.

 

All Blackjack were $10 min on our 11/28 Equinox sailing.
