- Chip trays have a fixed amount of space. It makes no sense to populate every tray with every size chip.
- High-limit players often do not like to play with low-limit players and low-limit players often do not like to play with high-limit players. So, they are segregated to a degree.
- The high-limit tables are watched more carefully.
- High-limit tables are less likely to be manned by less experienced dealers.
- Winning-hand payoffs are slower if players are betting many different chip sizes.
- High-limit tables are kept less crowded to provide more comfort to higher-limit players and to speed the play of larger bettors. Speed is just as important to the casino as it is to the advantage player. Some high-limit tables are often kept in separate areas or even on a separate floor.
- The limits also prevent ridiculously large bet changes, which could be of value to an advantage player.

My statement was a response to they set table limits to thwart martingalers. Obviously that isn't true because a martingales can start with the lowest limit in the casino and table hope until his bets can't be made at the highest limit table in the casino. The martingaler can even change to a higher end casino with much higher limits when the next bet can't be made at ant table in the casino he started.
They send limos to the airport and pay the airfare to get martingalers that are well funded to the casino. Th idea that they fear them in any way is ridiculous and shows you just don't understand the interaction between house edge and bets. They will win your total amount bet times the house edge. Why wouldn't they want you to bet more? It increases their EV.
One thing I can add to this discussion and it’s happened to me at least 3 times playing blackjack online: I was winning a significant amount of money (in the thousands) when the casino either raised the minimum bet or decreased the maximum bet significantly …and it worked…I cashed out and took my business elsewhere. In all of these 3 cases the casino changed the limits on me to invite me out. Of course, they are not worried about counters online.
They were foolish. Now when the streak that takes all your profits and the some happens some other casino will be getting your BR. All martingale progression does is change the ride to the same long run as any player that doesn't play with an advantage. The house edge times the total amount you ever bet. All that chasing with bigger bets just increases your total mount ever bet and your lose when things converge on expectation in the long run.
