Limits
In table games, the minimum and maximum amounts that can be wagered on a single bet.
In the context of casino gambling, "limits" refer to the maximum and minimum amounts that players can bet or wager on a game. These limits are set by the casino and can vary by game type, table, or machine.
Table Limits: For table games like blackjack, poker, or roulette, casinos will often display a minimum and maximum bet amount for each table. For example, a table might have a limit of $5 to $500, meaning players can bet anywhere from $5 to $500 per hand or round.
Slot Machine Limits: Slot machines also have betting limits, which dictate the minimum and maximum coin denominations or total bets that can be placed on a spin.
Tournament Limits: In poker tournaments, there may be entry limits (the maximum number of players) and betting limits (the maximum amount a player can bet in a given round).
Limits are important as they help manage the risk for both the casino and the players, ensuring that the games remain fair and that players do not wager more than they can afford to lose.
