| Don't Come Bets: |
|
A don't come bet is the opposite of a come bet. A don't come bet is set after the come out roll in the "Don't Come Bar" on the craps table. Don't come bets win when the shooter's next roll is 3 or 12 and lose if the roll is 7 or 11. If the shooter rolls a 2, the bet will be given back to the player as a push. If the shooter rolls a 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10, that number becomes "the come point" and the dealer will move the don't come bet from the "Don't Come Bar" over the box matching the come point: "4, 5, SIX, 8, NINE or 10." After the come point is set, don't come bets win even money if 7 is rolled and lose if the come point is rolled. Don't come bets will stay in place until the come point or a 7
is rolled. The player can remove the don't come bet. |
|
| Pass Line Odds Bets: |
|
After the point has been set, a pass line odds bet is set outside of the "PASS LINE" bar, under your original pass line bet. Winning pass line odds bet pays: 2 to 1 on a roll of 4 or 10, 3 to 2 on a roll of 5 or 9, and 6 to 5 on a roll of 6 or 8. Different from the original pass line bet, the player can remove the pass line odds bet. |
|
| Don't Pass Line Odds Bets: |
|
Once the point has been set, a don't pass line odds bet is set on the right side of your original bet in the "Don't Pass Bar". A winning don't pass line odds bet pays: 1 to 2 on a roll of 4 or 10, 2 to 3 on a roll of 5 or 9, and 5 to 6 on a roll of 6 or 8. The player can remove the don't pass line odds bet. |
|
| Come Odds Bets: |
|
Once the come point has been set, a come odds bet is set exactly under your come bet within the box that matches to the come point:
"4, 5, SIX, 8, NINE or 10." A winning come odds bet pays: 2 to 1 on a roll of 4 or 10, 3 to 2 on a roll of 5 or 9, and 6 to 5 on a roll of 6 or 8. Different from the original come bet, the player can remove the come odds bet. |
|
| Don't Come Odds Bets: |
|
| Once the come point has been set, a don't come odds bet is set by placing your bet in the area exactly under your don't come bet within the narrow, uppermost bar over the box that matches to the come point: "4, 5, SIX, 8, NINE or 10." A winning don't come odds bet pays: 1 to 2 on a roll of 4 or 10, 2 to 3 on a roll of 5 or 9, and 5 to 6 on a roll of 6 or 8. The player can remove the don't come odds bet. |
|
| Place Bets: |
|
| A place win bet is a bet that a 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10 will be rolled before a seven. A place win bet is set in the narrow, unmarked bar located just under the box with the matching number on the craps table: "4, 5, SIX, 8, NINE or 10." Winning place win bets are generally paid out to these ratios: 7 to 6 on numbers 6 and 8, 7 to 5 on numbers 5 and 9, and 9 to 5 on numbers 4 and 10. |
|
| A place lose bet is a bet that 7 will be rolled before either 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10. A place lose bet is set in the narrow, unmarked bar located just above the box with the matching number on the craps table: "4, 5, SIX, 8, NINE or 10." Winning place lose bets are generally paid out to these ratios: 4 to 5 on numbers 6 and 8, 5 to 8 on numbers 5 and 9, and 5 to 11 on numbers 4 and 10. |
|
| Buy Bets: |
|
A buy bet is a bet that a 4, 6, 8, 9 or 10 will be rolled before 7. A buy bet is set in the box matching to the number on the craps table:
"4, 5, SIX, 8, NINE or 10." A buy bet will be covered with a "BUY" marker to differentiate it from a come bet. A return commission of 5%
is charged when placing the buy bet. Buy bet winnings are paid at: 6 to 5 on numbers 6 and 8, 3 to 2 on numbers 5 and 9, and 2 to 1 on numbers 4 and 10. If a buy bet is lost or removed, the 5% return is given back. |
|
| Lay Bets: |
|
A lay bet is the opposite of a buy bet. A lay bet is a bet that 7 will be rolled before 4, 6, 8, 9 or 10. The lay bet is set in the top, unmarked bar above the box matching to the number on the craps table: "4, 5, SIX, 8, NINE or 10." A lay bet will be covered with a "LAY" marker to differentiate it from a don't come bet. A return of 5% is charged when placing the lay bet. Lay bet winnings are paid at: 5 to 6 on numbers
6 and 8, 2 to 3 on numbers 5 and 9, and 1 to 2 on numbers 4 and 10. Lay bets are working during the come out roll. The player can remove the lay bets. |
