This isn't so much based on how much you bet per hand, but on how big your credit line is. At someplace like the Wynn/Encore, you need a minimum half million line to get a reserved table. At Palms, I understand that a $300K line will do.

Years ago, I had a Baccarat table reserved for myself at one of the best casinos in Reno, with no line at all just a promise to play big, but I knew the Director of Table Games there, and, this was Reno not Vegas. That's a bit of a story, but I ended up not even playing at all, and the dealers assigned to the table just stood there all day and night I imagine, waiting for a guy who never showed. This is pretty common actually - I see these reserved tables pretty regularly, with no player at them.

Of course, when you get a Baccarat reserved table pursuant to a high credit limit the minimums are raised and sometimes the maximums too. If you have a half million line, you're usually allowed to bet max $25,000. or $30,000. versus the usual $20K. which is everyone else's limit. A million line can get you a $50,000. max bet. Most casinos in Vegas max out at $160,000. per hand and for that you need a $5M line. (There are rare exceptions, allowing up to $250K a hand, but this depends on the player, and the economy whether the casino is going to entertain that sort of action.) We're talking Baccarat, of course.

If you are a cash player, you will see much less courtesy when it comes to both the reserved tables and the higher limits - for example back then, this was fifteen or so years ago, at Bellagio, there was this guy I remember like it was yesterday who brought in $5M cash and all they let him bet max was $50K, and didn't even give him a reserved Bacc. table. He lost every penny, he was a terrible player, mostly flat betting and so unlucky it was ominous, I mean the guy was barely winning a third of his hands most of the time, betting against streaks, betting against obvious patterns, if you'd simply bet against him it would have been a guaranteed win session, but most people would defer to his big bets out of politeness and stay out when he plopped his constant 50K down on the circle.

There are all sorts of variables. I could write an article about it. For example, if it is a Baccarat reserved table, you're free to bet between mins and maxs no restrictions. Typically the reserved BJ tables are sucker's tables, with the min and max set exactly the same - forcing a very high flat bet.
