Casinos have certain rules for betting. They'll put on a table a sign that says the table minimum is ten dollars. That table minimum means you can't bet less than ten dollars. So when you go to a table and it says the minimum is twenty-five, and you only want to bet ten, you can't. You have to go to a table that says that the table minimum is ten dollars, then you can play.
