Maximum stakes cap a single bet, and many tables set separate limits for each type of bet. At roulette a straight number may carry a much lower maximum than a bet on red or black, and side bets at blackjack have caps of their own. A player who raises stakes after losses meets these caps sooner than expected. The limits table in the game's help screen lists every cap, including those for side bets.
Table minimums matter more than they look, because live games move slowly and every round costs at least the minimum. A blackjack table with a high minimum and around sixty hands an hour turns a modest budget into a short session. Roulette and baccarat tables usually accept smaller stakes than blackjack, since they seat an unlimited number of players. Checking the minimum against the planned budget shows how many rounds a session can realistically last.
Availability follows the clock of the studio's audience. Evenings in the largest markets fill the popular tables, while early mornings leave them half empty and quicker to join. Studios open extra tables at busy hours, often with higher minimums. A table listed in the live lobby as open can still be full for seats, and the lobby usually shows the free seats and the length of the queue before the table is opened.
