Casino question

Recommended Posts

In the Casinos, do they have $1, $2 or $3 Roulette tables, or are they all $5? Do they raise the stakes of the tables over the course of the evening, or do the $1-$3 tables remain at that level? I'm assuming it doesn't change according to ship, but in case it does, I'm interested in the Jewel of the Seas. Thanks!

I was on the Mariner a couple of weeks ago and played a little roulette. It's not normally my game but since the table was empty I thought I'd give it a try.

 

When I played, the minimum bet was $1 on the inside and $2 (I believe) along the outside.

 

I was in the casino at a prime time after both dinner seatings so I can't imagine the stakes were ever raised. I did play quite a bit of blackjack and other table games and those stakes were never raised.

 

Hope this helps.

$1 minimum inside, $5 minimum outside was what I saw on Enchantment.

 

Are you sure that's right???? I ask because I really don't know, but thought it was different. If you are, that's good news to me.

 

I thought it was a $5 minimum bet inside or out. You could bet $1 on the inside, but you had to make at least 5 of those bets to be at the minimum. Have I been wrong??

$5 outside, $5 inside. The $5 inside can be 5 $1 bets.

Stakes do not go up on Roulette.

On occasion, when the table is slow or empty, they will let you play quarters inside and $1 outside. Have never seen the stakes raised on the Roulette Wheel.

 

Wheel is a double zero wheel, which helps the house.

It´s correct this is the official rule, however I´ve never seen it enforced that way and always seen people putting less than the 5 $1 bets on the inside without the dealer saying a word. I admit you can´t count on the fact they are acting this way all the time. So I partly stand corrected by my above post.
