Table limits are a silent yet powerful tool casinos use. Here we explain how they work and why they render many betting systems ineffective.
Table limits are the minimum and maximum amounts you can bet on a single spin. They vary by casino and table, and they exist to protect the casino from risky wagers.
Example: A table might allow bets between 1 and 500 units.
Most betting systems—like Martingale, Fibonacci, or Labouchère—rely on increasing your bet after a loss. But if you hit the table limit, you can’t continue the sequence. That breaks the system before it can recover your losses.
Suppose you start by betting 1 unit:
You can’t place the next bet. The result: you lose the entire sequence and your bankroll.
Many players believe they can "always win" if they have enough money to double or progress. But table limits are the mathematical wall that shatters that illusion.
Table limits aren’t just a small rule—they’re the casino’s silent weapon. They’re designed to neutralize progression systems and safeguard the house’s profit margin. Ignoring them is walking into a trap disguised as a strategy.
