Min for roulette & blackjack at The Monte Carlo

[Mr Pigg]

5 of us will be staying at The Monte Carlo for 4 days at the beginning of October. Just wonder what bet minimums are at the roulette(straight and dozen/columns) and blackjack table. Also will you get banned for using a strategy at the roulette table?
Thanks

What do you mean by strategy? Roulette is all odds man I don't see how you could "cheat" by using some kind of betting pattern.

you will not get kicked out. The only thing that may attract attention is constantly doubling your bet to try to win. There is a name for this 'strategy' as well, but many casinos stop this by having rather low table maximum bets.

There are many other bj/craps/roulette strategies, but mathematically the house still has the edge in them all. There is a pretty well known 3 card poker strategy, but thats really up to the dealer.

Anyway, during the day you'd probably be looking at 5/10 tables and probably 10 at night with some higher limit tables thrown in as well. Any outside bet will need to be table min, any inside bets will need to add up to the table min.

If you really want to skim a bit more of a player edge, find a single zero layout.

Thanks for the info guys. Yes it is a modified progressive strategy so the bets won't be doubling each time and the bank roll isn't large on the max end so hopefully I won't attract too much attention. Also, great suggestion about single zero wheels. Do you guys know if the Monte Carlo has any single zero wheels? Thats where our group will be staying.

and, this probably should be on another forum but is the Smith and Wollensky steakhouse across the street from The MC decent?

The casinos will be delighted whatever 'strategy' you use at roulette. Because they all lose money. Just try to have fun doing so...

Yeah, the casinos love 'strategy'. They'll even give you free alcohol to help with your brainstorming.

roulette is one of the most profitable games for casinos, especially the double zero roulette.

double zero roulette, house edge 5,26 %
single zero roulette, house edge 2,70 %

blackjack, house edge 0,28 %*

*(Liberal Vegas Strip rules: Dealer stands on soft 17, player may double on any two cards, player may double after splitting, resplit aces, late surrender.)

Thats a huge difference.

Not if you have a system! And when it's a 'progressive' system, even better!

(also, I don't think ANY Vegas casinos allow late surrender at BJ, do they? very liberal rules!)

and bring a lot more money in your bankroll than you think you'll need. I once built a spin simulator to prove my buddies progressive strategy was flawed. He would have needed to bet like $2500 to win $10 after black had hit 8 times in a row. And the idea of 'how often can that happen' is asked and proven a lot...

Now that's funny!


Also, no betting on 1/1 bets in this "strategy" and the max bet there will ever be is $100 and that bet will come at the end of 13 losing contest. The total bankroll for the strategy is $300 and I "should" be able to win $100 an hour. But I will probably lose my ass right out of the gate and be eating McDonald's for the rest of the weekend
