Anyone know specifically if the Blackjack tables on Celebrity Cruise Line. ( We are booked on the Silhouette.) Payout @ 6:5 or 3:2 ??   ( I refuse to play 6:5 tables.)

Another thread on here the other  day said 6/5 on low limit tables, and 3/2 on $50 and up tables.

6 to 5 on lower limit tables. Only traditional 3 to 2 on the $50 table. Still beter than when they used those perpetual shuffling  machines.  I would never play when they are being used.

Thanks guys..I guess I will have to think long and hard about whether I want to play $50.00 tables.

How many $50 blackjack tables would Celebrity have on a S class ship?  I can't remember seeing one.  Of course I was only looking for lower limit tables the last time I cruised with Celebrity.

There's always craps..I wonder if they limit the odds on the pass line etc...I'm guessing yes.

I heard they take 25% on the poker !! Can you imagine the casinos in AC or Vegas trying to get away with that BS. I guess they figure they have a captive audience !!!

On Royal Caribbean (sister line) you're limited to single odds on the pass line unless you bet $25 minimum. Just a SWAG, but X probably has at least the same policy, may also require $50 to get 2x odds in the same vein as blackjack payout.

something I have never understood...In the early days of our cruise history the casino was always packed and every table was full with $5 and $10 blackjack.  People were having fun and buying drinks and enjoying giving their money to the casino.  Now the table minimums are much higher, the payouts make it more difficult to break even and the tables are all but empty.  The last three cruises we have played very little blackjack for these reasons.  

 

How are the casinos functioning in the black with so few players and now enticing players with free drinks?  Seems full tables with a lower minimum would be just as lucrative.  And their captive audience would be more inclined to sit and stay a while.

PKB, exactly what we’ve noticed too, even on transatlantic crossings. The casino is nearly empty and the staff does a great job of standing at the tables, trying not to look bored.

Typically one. Maybe two
