High Table Game Limits

Thursday September 13, 2007
One of the biggest complaints I hear from players is that the minimum bet for the table games are high especially on the weekend and other busy times. Areas with only one or two casinos and even Atlantic City on a weekend all suffer from the lack of tables to accommodate the lower limit players.

Unfortunately it's a matter of supply and demand. Since there are more players than table space the casinos can raise the limits and still fill many of the seats. The sad reality is that, it also makes more economic sense to the casino to have higher limit tables even if some of them are not full.

I just returned from a few days in San Diego California where I had the opportunity to spend some tine at the Viejas Casino. They had a sign telling blackjack players that they can always find a five dollar table available 24/7. I think this is a great idea than more casinos should adopt, even if they only have one or two tables at the lower limits. The casinos are complaining about the decline in table game players and this would help the situation. Many novice players would like t o try table games but not if it is going to cost them $25 a hand to play.
