I guess my question is what determines the amount that you are allowed to bet as the banker: the last amount wagered, the last amount wagered against the house, or something else? I will note that The Orleans banking sequence was just as the hands were ordered or you were offered to bank once every eight hands. The Orleans would not allow me to revert to my higher bet of $25, which is what I bet the hand before my friend banked i.e.
When it was my friends turn to bank, I bet the table minimum, $10, for the reason mentioned above. A friend of mine set directly to my left and we were both banking with his turn preceding my own. If I remember correctly each of them backed down their bets when the other player was banking I assume to minimize the liability to each other.Īlthough I did not attempt to Bank at that time in that casino, mainly due to my limited bankroll not being able to cover the larger bets, I did try it at The Orleans playing Pai Gow Poker. Each played what appeared to be their maximum comfortable bet when playing against the House in order to get the House to reciprocate when they chose to be the banker. As I watched the Wizard play Pai Gow Tiles a week ago Sunday, I observed how he and the Young Man next to me both banked.
