What is minimum for BJ? (Get your head out of the gutter - I’m asking about the casino game, and asking for a friend.)

$6

Minimum is $6 and the game is unplayable for me. A blackjack pays 6:5 rather than the expected 3:2. This is a significant disadvantage to the player. 

 

The only game that offers decent odds in the casino is craps. That's about all I play anymore in the casino unless there is a poker table/game.

The higher limits tables have the 3:2 odds in blackjack but on the $6 tables the sucker odds do prevail. 
 

Also, their Roulette tables have a 0, 00 and either a 000 or a boat so the Roulette is another sucker bet since they pay 36:1 but have 39 pockets for the ball to fall into instead of 38 (or 37).

I like both Blackjack and Roulette. I do not care about the odds since I am going lose my budgeted gambling funds anyway. What i do care about is the smoke on HAL ships so pretty much stay away from the casinos.

They don’t smoke inside on Eurodam or Nieuw Amsterdam. Play on those and you can lose fast with the slanted odds.

Personally, I am very thankful HAL permits smoking inside of their casinos on most ships. It takes away even the slightest urge I may have to go into it because it’s so repulsive to even walk through. It’s probably saved me thousands of dollars, so keep it up!
