The game is Card Values popular in casinos worldwide in part because its rules 2 to 10 = Face Value are relatively simple and easy-to-understand. However, J, Q, K = 10 roulette offers a surprising level of depth for serious Ace = 1 or 11 betters. Before putting it all on black, learn the basics of **Note: The card suits are irrelevant in Blackjack.** this thrilling game by reading the detailed instructions in this article below the jump. Definitions Blackjack = an Ace and a card worth 10 points (21 total) 1. Know the equipment. Hole = the dealer’s card that is face down Roulette is French for “little wheel.” On this wheel are Hit = draw another card 36 numbers and a 0; on some American tables, there is Stand = take no more cards a “00.” A croupier sends a small white ball spinning that Bust = going over 21 will eventually land on one of the numbers. Bets are placed on the table, correlating with the slots the ball can possibly land in. How to Play - Players place bets by putting the desired number of chips in the circle in front of their seat. On the table are the numbers and a few other options: - The dealer deals two cards face up to each player. The dealer receives one card face up and one face down. 1st 12 2nd 12 3rd 12 - The dealer asks each player, in turn, whether they want to hit or stand. 3 x columns of 12 numbers - Base your decision on the assumption that the dealer has a card worth 10 points in the hole. 1-18 19-36 - Indicate that you want a hit by tapping the table or making a motion to beckon another card Even Odd Black Red (as if motioning someone to “come on back”). Continue until you desire no more cards. **Note: Most casinos do not allow you to touch the cards.** - If you don’t want a hit (or are finished hitting), indicate so by waving your hand back and forth face down 2. Know the different “inside” bets. over your cards. In roulette, you have to anticipate the number or type - Once all players have made their decisions, the dealer reveals his hole card and hits or stands as appropriate. of pocket on which the ivory ball is going to land. To do - Payouts are issued based on the outcome. this, there are a range of bets you can make. “Inside” bets, or bets placed on specific numbers, generally have higher paying odds. You can bet: Winning “Straight up” betting on one number pays 35 to 1 If your total is higher than the dealer’s (or if the dealer busts), you win. Split betting on two numbers pays 17 to 1 “Street” betting on three numbers pays 11 to 1, three Payouts numbers can be bet with just one chip. It can be placed - If you get Blackjack, the dealer pays you 3 to 2. on the end of any “street” (the row of 3 numbers) on the table map. - If you and the dealer both get Blackjack, it is a push and no chips are given or taken away. Corner betting on four numbers pays 8 to 1, The chip lies on the intersection of the four numbers. - If you have a higher total than the dealer (or the dealer busts), the dealer matches the amount of your chips. Six line betting on 6 numbers pays 5 to 1, the chip lies on the edge of two adjoining streets. - If you have a lower total than the dealer (or you bust), the dealer takes your chips. Additionally, for American roulette, there is the Five-number bet which covers “0,00,1,2,3” and pays 6 to 1, and the Row 00 bet which covers 0 and 00 and pays 17 to 1. Doubling Down You are allowed to double your bet after receiving your first two cards. You do this by placing the additional chips 3. “outside” bets. next to your original bet. If you decide to do this, you receive only one additional card. These bets do not involve specific numbers and are made on the outside of the number map, hence the name. Color betting (red or black) pays 1 to 1. Even or odd betting pays 1 to 1. Splitting Column or betting on 12 numbers pays 2 to 1 Dozen betting (1st 12, etc.) pays 2 to 1 If you receive two cards of the same number, you can split them into two separate hands. Do this by placing High or low bets pay 1 to 1. another equal bet alongside your first bet. The dealer will separate your cards and give you an additional card to make each one a complete hand by itself. You will then play each hand separately as you normally would. 4. Realize your odds. At every roulette table (and at every game in the casino itself), the house always has an edge. All bets at both Insurance wheels (French or American) are paid at odds that would be true if only the 36 numbers were on the wheel. Their If the dealer’s face up card is an ace, he will offer players the option of buying insurance. If you choose to do so advantage comes from to 0 -- and the 00 in America.[3]There are theories as to how you can improve your odds, you can then wager half your original bet (in addition to it) that the dealer does have Blackjack. If he does, your but they don’t work. However, there are some variants that change how the favor lies: insurance is paid 2 to 1 but your original bet is lost (meaning you break even for the hand). If he does not have At American tables, the “00” slot increases the casino’s advantage even more. On a roulette table with a single Blackjack, you lose your insurance. zero, the casino has an advantage of 2.7%. On a roulette table with a double zero, the casino has an advantage of 5.26%.[4] Even Money Some French tables will employ rules that generally help out the players. The “La Partage” and “En Prison” rules If you have Blackjack and the dealer has an ace showing, the dealer will offer you even money for your Blackjack apply to outside even money bets like odds or even, black or red and low or high; they also apply when the ball (instead of 3 to 2). If you do not take it and the dealer also has Blackjack, you will have a push just like normal. lands in the zero slot. They are similar in the sense that players only lose half of their bet, but players cannot leave their bet on the table for another spin with the La Partage rule. If a player loses, they can collect half their bet in the En Prison rule, or leave half their bet on the table for the next spin with the La Partage rule. Playing the Game How to Play Craps 1. Watch what’s happening. For all intents and purposes, there can be no strategy to roulette. It’s pure and simple luck. Each number has the Craps is easily the most intimidating game in the casino.

So we’ll do our best in this lesson to make Sometimes, dealers have habits. They might release the ball at exactly the same angle and velocity nearly every this crash course as painless as possible. time during a specific session. As the dealer releases the ball, the same numbers pass every time, increasing the chances that the ball ends up resting on the same portion of the wheel repeatedly. The trick to making it easy A wheel can go off-kilter. However, casinos are pretty good at spotting this. There’s really no way to tell if a wheel is The trick to making craps easy is simple: Learn only what you need to know,and ignore everything else. You can off balance unless you monitor thousands and thousands of spins. play craps by knowing just one bet, the Pass Line bet, so that’s what we’ll teach you here. You can certainly learn all the other bets if you want (see our list of bets article), but for now the Pass Line is all you need to know. 2. Hand your chips to the dealer.

  • A Probabilistic Study of Dice Control in Craps
    Golden Arm: A Probabilistic Study of Dice Control in Craps Donald R. Smith Robert Scott III Abstract This paper calculates how much control a craps shooter must possess on dice outcomes to eliminate the house advantage. A golden arm is someone who has dice control (or a rhythm roller or dice influencer). There are various strategies for dice control in craps. We discuss several possibilities of dice control that would result in several different mathematical models of control. We do not assert whether dice control is possible or not (there is a lack of published evidence). However, after studying casino-legal methods described by dice-control advocates, we can see only one realistic mathematical model that describes the resulting possible dice control, that in which the four faces on a rotating (horizontal) axis are favored. This is the model that we analyze in this paper. Keywords: craps; dice; dice control; probability Donald R.

Craps players, more than other casino gamblers, may be the most susceptible to Langer’s (1975) illusion of control where they think they can control the outcome of a random game.

  • The Theory of Dice Control
    SMARTCRAPS.rtf Smart Craps Page 24 of 163 The Theory of Dice Control This chapter is intended as a brief summary only on dice control and the physical skill of dice setting. If you want to master the physical skill of dice setting, you will want to read and consult with some of the resources in the "Resources »Page 7" section of this documentation. Unlike card counting in blackjack, dice setting is a physical skill, and cannot be mastered through reading and mental practice alone. Dice setters attempt to control the physical throw of the dice in such a way as to influence the outcome of the dice. This skill, when used consciously at different points in the game, generates a non-random distribution of outcomes, which the shooter hopes reverses the casino's edge in the game to the player's favor. To understand the physics of dice control, let's look at an actual craps table: Figure 1: Axes of rotation on a craps table With these labels, we can see that a shooter will be throwing the dice along the X axis toward the end of the table. Generally, a skilled dice setter will hold the dice together, parallel to the Z axis, as shown below: SMARTCRAPS.rtf Smart Craps Page 25 of 163 Figure 2: Throwing the dice parallel to the Z axis of the table A typical controlled shooter is attempting to cause the dice to rotate only around the Z axis. In theory, any spin in the Y or X axis can introduce unexpected bounces and a less controlled outcome.

  • The Person Whose Turn It Is to Roll the Dice Is the “Shooter.” the Results of the Shooter’S Rolls Will Determine the Outcome for All Players
    CRAPS HOW TO PLAY The person whose turn it is to roll the dice is the “shooter.” The results of the shooter’s rolls will determine the outcome for all players. On the shooter’s first roll, or “come-out,” players wager by placing chips on either the Pass Line or the Don’t Pass Line. If the shooter rolls a 7 or 11 on the first throw, Pass Line bets win. If a 2, 3, or 12 is thrown, Pass Line bets lose. Conversely, if the shooter throws a 2 or 3, Don’t Pass wagers win. If a 7 or 11 is thrown, Don’t Pass bets lose. If a 12 is thrown, it is a “push” and no one wins. If a 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10 is rolled, that number becomes the “point,” and is marked on the betting layout with a puck. If he/she rolls this point again before rolling a 7, bets on the Pass Line win, while Don’t Pass bets lose. Then the shooter starts over with a brand new roll. Let’s start with an explanation of Craps terms and how they apply to the game. COME OUT ROLL - This is either the first roll of the dice with a new shooter, or the first roll of the dice after the shooter has made a point. A point is established on the Come Out Roll if the shooter rolls 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10. This point must then be rolled again before a 7. Any Player, including the shooter, may either bet on the Pass Line or the Don’t Pass Line prior to the Come Out Roll.

  • Experiments in Dice Control Robert H
    Pair-a-Dice Lost: Experiments in Dice Control Robert H. Scott III Donald R. Smith “We may throw the dice, but the Lord determines how they fall” (Bible.com). This paper presents our findings from experiments designed to test whether we could use a custom-made dice throwing machine applying common dice control methods to produce dice rolls that differ from random. In earlier research we used a popular method of dice control to calculate how much “control” a shooter needs to overcome the casino’s advantage (Smith and Scott, 2018). We found that a shooter only needs an 8.031% level of control (0% is random and 100% is perfect horizontal-axis control of both dice) to erase the casino’s advantage of 1.41% for a standard pass line bet.1 This finding supports a common claim among dice controllers that you do not need to throw the dice perfectly every time to win, simply throwing the dice with a little more control than a random throw is enough. The natural follow-up question is: Can a human being achieve the desired level of control under normal casino conditions? This question has not been answered elsewhere. Even documented evidence of extremely long craps hands is not as intuitively convincing as it may appear. We decided to run experiments to see if a dice throwing machine that generally mimics the biomechanical properties of expert craps players (e.g., back spin, on-axis throw, repeatable throwing angle etc.) could achieve at least a break-even level of control. Using our machine (named “Lucky Lil”) on a 6’ foot craps table we filmed dice throws using a Phantom® VEO4K 990s high-speed digital camera that captured video in 4K resolution.

  • CRAPS BETS Come out Roll
    CRAPS CRAPS BETS Come Out Roll: The first roll of the dice at the opening of the game or the next roll of the dice after a decision with respect to Pass Bet and Don’t Pass Bet. Come Out Point: A total of 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10 thrown by the shooter on the Come Out roll. Pass Line: A Pass Line wager is placed immediately prior to the Come Out roll. You win on 7 and 11 and lose on 2, 3, or 12 on the Come Out roll. If any other number rolls, it’s your point. If your point rolls before 7, you win. If 7 rolls before your point, you lose and the dice move to the next shooter. Pass Line Bets cannot be reduced or removed after the point is established. This bet pays even money. Don’t Pass Line: A bet on this line plays the game in reverse of the Pass Line. You lose on 7 and 11 and win on 2 and 3 on the Come Out roll. When 12 is rolled, it’s a Standoff. When 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10 rolls, it is the point. You are betting that 7 will be rolled before the point. This bet must be placed before the Come Out roll, but may be removed or decreased after a point is established; however it may not be replaced or increased after such removal or reduction. This bet pays even money. Come: You can bet on Come at any time after the Come Out roll.

  • Rules-For-Basic-Craps.Pdf
    Craps Rules Rules and how to play Craps: The basics Casino Craps (or Bank Craps), a dice game, is one of the most exciting casino games. It is common to hear yelling and shouting at a craps table. It is played on a purpose-built table and two dice are used. The dice are made after very strict standards and are routinely inspected for any damage. As a matter of course, the dice are replaced with new ones after about eight hours of use, and casinos have implemented rules in the way a player handles them. To begin, the Shooter (one of the players) must bet at least the table minimum on either the Pass Line or the Don't Pass Line (sometimes called 'win' or 'right' bets and 'don’t win' or 'wrong' bets). The shooter is presented with multiple dice (normally five) by the Stickman, and must choose two to roll with. The remaining dice are returned to the Stickman's Bowl and are not used. The shooter must handle the dice with one hand only when throwing and the dice must hit the walls on the opposite end of the table. In the event that one or both dice are thrown off the table, they must be inspected (usually by the stickman) before putting them back into play. The craps table can accommodate up to about 20 players, who each get a round of throws or at 'shooting' the dice. If you don't want to throw the dice, you can bet on the thrower. Several types of bets can be made on the table action.

  • Casino Craps
    CASINO CRAPS Introduction: Casino Craps is played by players against the house. Players take turns rolling the dice. The player rolling the dice is called the “shooter”. The game is played in rounds, with the first roll of a new round called the “come out roll”. Player wager money against the casino on the outcome of first roll, or of a series of rolls of two dice. Rules of Play: On the come out roll if the total of the two dice is 2, 3,7,11 or 12 the round ends immediately and the shooter must roll another come out roll. A result of 2, 3 or 12 is called „craps‟ while a result of 7, 11 is called a „win‟ or a „natural‟. When any other number (4,5,6,8,9 or 10) is rolled on the come-out roll, this number becomes what is called the point. If a point is established, then the shooter will re-roll the dice continuously until either a 7 is rolled or the point is rolled again. If the shooter rolls point again, the round ends and the game start over with the same shooter rolling another come-out roll. If the shooter rolls a 7 instead of the point, this is called a „seven- out‟, the round ends, and the dice pass to the next player to the left, who becomes the new shooter. Betting: Players can make any of a large number of bets. Most of these are betting on the outcome of the first roll (win or craps) or on the way the round will end (point comes or a seven out).
