Splitting/doubling and max bets

[Googobucs]

Not sure I understand. Are you talking about the gamble feature? So if I won $ 5.00 on a game, then hit the gamble button I broke the terms if I win? Or even if I simply won 3.00, the gamble feature would put me over. Why not disable the gamble feature during bonus play then? As that would be very easy to break the term if I'm understanding it correctly? And I've always thought the gamble feature was part of the original slot spin, just a different way of showing results. In other words I figured it was already determined from the slot spin if I would win my gamble, and if so how many I would win. Then from there if I actually lost the gamble I figured it was no different than simply losing a few normal spins. So if I lost a 10.00 gamble I figured I was going to lose approx 10.00 worth of slot spins anyway. I know that sounds silly but it wouldn't have crossed my mind that was part of the max bet limit.

For that matter I still don't understand why places don't just limited the bet amount. Sorry to beat a dead horse, but at the 3dice blackjack table for example if I take a bonus, my max bet is limited. Same with a few other casinos. If a game or bet size is not allowed, the game will kick you out, or not allow the bet size.

To not detract from the Bitcoin topic I created a new thread
This exact scenario was recently discussed. I don't remember the exact details but it involved black Jack and splitting and doubling. So if the max bet was $10 the player bet $10 then doubled to $20 which broke the max bet rule.
IMO the software should be able to deal with the max bet of say $10 but I think it's difficult once you get into the doubling and splitting aspect. You could split multiple times. So it's really on you as a player to decide when playing these games do you want to bet max upfront on every hand knowing you cant double or split or do you want to bet half max so you have room to evaluate your play.

I would just never play at a casino that enforces the max bet rule in this way - as far as I am concerned, making a split in blackjack is placing a new bet, which can win or lose independently of the initial wager. It's just another con trick that reputable casinos wouldn't try!

Yes I agree that is definitely a con and worthy of being labeled a rogue casino imho.

I've had hands where I received two aces, then split, and received another ace on one of the hands, and a double down chance on the other hand. So of course you split again, and double the other. A player shouldn't have to account for all of that or be forced to hit a two ace hand instead of splitting.

^ That's at casinos with a blackjack table that allows for multiple splits / hits. I know some only allow a single split, no hits, and you're only dealt one card for each hand after the split.
