National Harbor minimums

I received an invite for a free weeknight room and some match play at National Harbor related to Borgata play. Does anyone have a handle on table minimums (primarily craps and blackjack)? I had heard stories about ridiculous minimums when they first opened (nothing less than $50, mostly $100). Have they gotten more reasonable? Still uncomfortably crowded? Thanks in advance.

Most games are still $25. I saw some $15 carnival games. I think baccarat may have still been $50 or $100.

Was wondering this myself, I only read bad reviews on Trip Advisor. But looking for positive reviews on the internet is like finding a newbie who hits on S-17 vs 7!

I will be in the area for a Wedding in November and thought I'd make a visit before. Their room rates are extremely high for Thursday and Friday nights($400 per night avg.) So it would stand to reason that their table minimums would be high too.

I've also heard that their BJ games pay 6:5 on BJ for minimums under $25, so it really doesn't pay to play here for low stakes!!

There is a small bar right in the middle of the casino with about 6 blackjack tables. I have noticed that when everything else is high, sometimes you can still find a $25 3:2 table there. Off peak hours you can usually find a 3:2 $25 table in the pit with the pai gow. The csm's in the main area sometimes go to $15 but they are all 6:5.

If you are looking for $10 blackjack and $5 UTH and 3CP, this is not the place for you. They are also very sweaty.

That is the worst combination of all. Ultra high minimums and a sweat the money attitude. They must be in a tremendously underserved market.

I'd rather do 3:2 at 25 than 6:5 at 15.

I checked out the place on a weekday last week, craps minimums were $25

yup on craps. :(

I only saw ONE $25 3:2 BJ table. (s17, late surrender)
rest were $50+ min or pays 6:5 if $25 and under.
this was a little after midnight on a weekday

Was there Sunday afternoon for the Platinum renewal event (I've been there twice, barely played at all, but they gave me another year of Platinum and free stuff, so hey! ;) ).

3:2 S17: 2, then 1 table at $25, everything else $50+. Most of the 6/5 stuff was $15 and $25, too. Think there might have been one $10 table.

There was also a $25 Pai Gow table.
Craps was all $25-50, which was disappointing.

High limit room was $200+

It's a beautiful casino. I'd love to play there, but $25/hand is too rich for the significant other.
