Question of the Day - 15 November 2023

Q:

With sky high table minimums everywhere, are those minimums per individual bet or can you combine two smaller bets to make the minimum? At craps, for example, if the minimum bet is $25, can I split that with $15 on the pass/come line and $10 on a proposition or field bet?

A:

This is a fairly common question about table limits, especially games with multiple bets, like craps or roulette.

If the minimum bet on the crap table is $25, that means $25 per bet, at least on the main game -- pass/come don't pass/don't come, place bets, lay bets, etc.

The proposition bets, which consist of everything in the center of the table, have lower minimums, typically $5 on a $25 game. On a $10 or $15 game, the props will typically cost just $1 each.

The way to remember which bets cost more is as follows: Everything in front of the stickman, in the center of the table, is considered a prop bet and will have a lower minimum. Everything in front of the base dealer (the dealers on either side of the table) must meet the posted minimum requirement.

    Are Downtown Tables any better?
    Can you play at 4 Queens or Fremont for cheaper?  I've always found decently priced games with 3/2 BJ in those older joints.
