Most tables out here are $5 min. There is a place I know that has tables that are $10 and $25. My question is, why do they vary? I looked and the payouts aren&#8217;t any better at the more expensive tables and the rules are all the same so I was curious why they do that. The only thing that comes to mind is to get you to spend more faster.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h3>Replies:<\/h3>\n<div class=\"migrated-reply\" style=\"border: 1px solid #eee;padding: 15px;margin-bottom: 15px;border-radius: 5px\">\n<p><strong>Posted by:<\/strong> Dr Crapology on May 23, 2017, 11:07 am<\/p>\n<div>The casinos simply want you to lose quicker with the $10 and $25 tables.

I like to test the waters first. I play at home before I go, but there&#8217;s still time to drive down there, and get in my spot. Usually if I play at home and its not going well, I just don&#8217;t go out. like last Friday night.<br \/>\n\tno idea why, but to many 7&#8217;s. slept then practiced the next day with long rolls that were consistent so I went out.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"migrated-reply\" style=\"border: 1px solid #eee;padding: 15px;margin-bottom: 15px;border-radius: 5px\">\n<p><strong>Posted by:<\/strong> Dr Crapology on May 23, 2017, 10:09 pm<\/p>\n<div>Now that&#8217;s what I called the &quot;advantage player attitude.&quot;  <\/p>\n<p>\tDoc<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"migrated-reply\" style=\"border: 1px solid #eee;padding: 15px;margin-bottom: 15px;border-radius: 5px\">\n<p><strong>Posted by:<\/strong> Finisher on May 25, 2017, 5:27 am<\/p>\n<div>I think the min. should be on the pase line and DP since they are contract bets for the casino .But that is just my .01 worth .You should have the choice to bet any amount on other bets that you like since they pay you less then they should any way .<br \/>\n\tI just wonder how the law reads when it comes to this and if it was written by some one who has played the game ? <br \/>\n\tSome times I wonder if some dealers have even played the game .Or know how to play it . \ud83d\ude00  \ud83d\ude00 <br \/>\n\tGood Rolling. \ud83d\ude00  \ud83d\ude00<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"migrated-reply\" style=\"border: 1px solid #eee;padding: 15px;margin-bottom: 15px;border-radius: 5px\">\n<p><strong>Posted by:<\/strong> Dr Crapology on May 25, 2017, 12:40 pm<\/p>\n<div>The way we seem to understand the minimum bets is that there are really two different minimums.  <\/p>\n<p>\tOne for the pass line, come bets, don&#8217;t bets (pass and come) and place bets.  This is usually the &quot;table minimum&quot; as posted at the table.  This is usually the $5, $10, $15 or $25 minimum bets.<\/p>\n<p>\tSecondly, for the prop bets in the middle of the table, which usually have a $1 minimum bet.  <\/p>\n<p>\tAt least this is what we usually see.  <\/p>\n<p>\tRose and Doc<\/p>\n<p>\tPS&#8212;Finisher, you are really selling yourself short&#8212;your posts are certainly worth more than $.01.

There are far more people willing to play a 5 dollar table than one with 10 on it. That is proved day after day. Ever see a full 10 dollar table and empty 5, I can&#8217;t recall one instance. And which table will bring in more to the Casino&#8217;s bottom line? Nope, nothing but economics.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"migrated-reply\" style=\"border: 1px solid #eee;padding: 15px;margin-bottom: 15px;border-radius: 5px\">\n<p><strong>Posted by:<\/strong> SevenTimesSeven on May 26, 2017, 3:58 pm<\/p>\n<div>The craps management decide when and how much to set the table minimums.<br \/>\n\tThey are human and may or not be very bright.

My point is you will never see a full 10 dollar table and an empty 5 dollar table in the same casino sitting next to each other.
