I recently learned that many casino games have a maximum payout for the table. For example on Big Six you many casinos have a maximum payout of $2K. I would be pissed if I bet $200 on 40:1 odds, but only won $2K instead of $8K due to this rule.

My question is, what other table games enforce maximum payout limits? I know that Big Six and Three Card Poker have this limit.

At least also Pai Gow Poker at Excalibur.

You can check before buying in. Most tables have a little plaque propped up on one side with the payouts for side bets. In these they also state the max payout par table. Or you can ask the dealer or supervisor.

BTW I assume a max payout per table is for the entire table, not for each player. So in the example above if two players bet $200 on a 40:1 bet, each would get $1,000. Oh, it can also get confussing if there's a progressive bet present. Is it included in the table max or not?

Things like that make me happy not to play side bets ;)

I play Pai Gow Poker primarily and I commonly see maximum payouts for the table of $25,000, $40,000 and $50,000. This would only come into play with very large Fortune Bonus bets or hitting a seven card straight flush which commonly pays 8000 to 1 on the bonus bet. I seem to remember a player being told he was over the maximum bet on his bonus at Ceasars, which could have brought the lesser paying hands over the maximum payouts, but I don't remember how much he wanted to bet.
