Table Games 3 Card Poker (Table Limit Question)

I've been gambling since I was 18 (now 38) and sadly don't know the answer to this. We stay at ARIA most times and usually go to other lower limit places to play $5 3 Card, but noticed our last trip that the $15 minimum table limits mean you can still bet $5 up front and $10 in the middle (which is our common bet on the $5 tables) and meet that miminum? I has assumed all these years that each bet had to be $15 in this case. Is this common on 3 Card or was the pit boss feeling generous that day since no one was playing? I would rather play 3 Card where I stay but don't for this reason or so I thought. Thanks in advance.

 

on $15 minimum tables you can still bet only $5 on the Pairs Plus but have to bet at least $15 on the ANTE. So you would have to have at least $20 to see you hand and $35 to play.

 

i also thought that the minimum was the minimum bet on the ante, but don't know for sure.

 

Min $15 on each spot

 

He's right, anytime I've played the table minimum applied to both spots.

 

However, you are not required to play both the Ante/Play game and the PairPlus game, (though almost everyone does).

I would think most places with a $15 minimum mean $15 on each game.

 

Are you sure it wasn't just a player "grandfathered" at that table from an earlier time with a lower limit?

 

I've played at indian casinos where the did make you play both spots and I think some casinos in AC have that rule as well. But I've never seen it in LV.
