Comps
In the context of casinos, comps are complimentary items given out by casinos to encourage players to gamble. The amount of comps that a player is given usually depends on what game they are playing, how much they are betting, and how long they have played. Most casinos have hosts who are responsible for giving out free items and contacting players to bring them back to the casino. Pit bosses can also award comps at table games. Most casinos now require a player to have a player's club or similar card, so that their play can be tracked and comps awarded. The lowest level of comp available at most casinos is free alcohol and other beverages. Many casinos provide free drinks to anyone who is gambling. The second level of comp that many players earn is free meals. Many casinos have several restaurants and may require more play to earn a comp to the higher end restaurant. Often the player is given a certain amount to spend, but sometimes, particularly with high rollers, the player may be given the right to order as much food as they want. The next level of comps is usually free hotel rooms. Many casinos have attached hotels, but those that don't may have the ability to comp rooms to a hotel nearby. Many casino hotels have higher quality rooms, such as suites, villas, presidential suites and so on for bigger bettors. Many players who receive hotel rooms receive a package called RFB for room, food, and beverage or RF for smaller bettors, or jurisdictions where casinos are not allowed to give free alcohol. Many casinos also offer other comps, especially to high rollers. These may include airfare reimbursement, limo rides, prostitution services, tickets to shows, golf, free concierge services, cash back, private gaming areas, and private jet service. Casinos also frequently offer players comps by mail. These may be free bet offers, free meals, discounted or free rooms, or entries into tournaments or prize drawings.
Dice Game
Playing Craps
Craps is one of the most exciting casino games. It common to hear
yelling and shouting at a table. played on purpose-built
table two dice are used. made after very strict standards routinely inspected for any damage. As matter course, replaced with new ones about eight hours use,
casinos have implemented rules in way player handles them.
The player 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. The casino crew consist of a stickman,
boxman and two dealers.
The first roll of the dice in a betting round is called
the Come Out roll - a new game in Craps begins with the Come Out roll. A
Come Out roll can be made only when the previous shooter fails to make a
winning roll, that is, fails to make the Point or seven out.
A new game then begins with a new shooter. If the current
shooter does make his Point, the dice are returned to him and he then
begins the new Come Out roll. This is a continuation of that shooter's
roll, although technically, the Come Out roll identifies a new game about
to begin.
When the shooter fails to make his or her Point, the dice
are then offered to the next player for a new Come Out roll and the game
continues in the same manner. The new shooter will be the person directly
next to the left of the previous shooter - so the game moves in a
clockwise fashion around the craps table.
The dice are rolled across the craps table layout. The
layout is divided into three areas - two side areas separated by a center
one. Each side area is the mirror reflection of the other and contains the
following: Pass and Don't Pass line bets, Come and Don't Come bets, Odds
bet, Place bets and Field bets. The center area is shared by both side
areas and contains the Proposition bets.
Pass bets win when the come out roll is 7 or 11, while
pass bets lose when the come out roll is 2, 3, or 12. Don't bets lose when
the come out roll is 7 or 11, and don't bets win when the come out roll is
2 or 3. Don't bets tie when the come out roll is 12 (2 in some casinos;
the 'Bar' roll on the layout indicates which roll is treated as a tie).
Craps Bets
Pass Line Bet - You win if the first roll is a natural (7, 11) and lose if it is craps (2, 3, 12). If a point is rolled (4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10) it must be repeated before a 7 is thrown in order to win. If 7 is rolled before the point you lose.Odds on Pass Line Bet - After a point is rolled you can make this additional bet by taking odds. There are different payoffs for each point. A point of 4 or 10 will pay you 2:1; 5 or 9 pays 3:2; 6 or 8 pays 6:5. You only win if the point is rolled again before a 7.
Come Bet - It has the same rules as the Pass Line bet. The difference consists in the fact you can make this bet only after the point on the pass line has been determined. After you place your bet the first dice roll will set the come point. You win if it is a natural (7, 11) and lose if it is craps (2, 3, 12). Other rolls will make you a winner if the come point is repeated before a 7 is rolled. If a 7 is rolled first you lose.
Odds on Come Bet - Exactly the same thing as the Odds on Pass Line bet except you take odds on the Come bet not the Pass Line bet.
Don't Pass Line Bet - This is the reversed Pass Line bet. If the first roll of a dice is a natural (7, 11) you lose and if it is a 2 or a 3 you win. A dice roll of 12 means you have a tie or push with the casino. If the roll is a point (4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10) a 7 must come out before that point is repeated to make you a winner. If the point is rolled again before the 7 you lose.
Don't Come Bet - The reversed Come Bet. After the come point has been established you win if it is a 2 or 3 and lose for 7 or 11. 12 is a tie and other dice rolls will make you win only if a 7 appears before them on the following throws.
Place Bets - This bet works only after the point has been determined. You can bet on a dice roll of 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 and 10. You win if the number you placed your bet on is rolled before a 7. Otherwise you lose. The Place Bets payoffs are different depending on the number you bet on. 4 or 10 will pay 9:5; 5 or 9 pays 7:5, and 6 or 8 pays 7:6. You can cancel this bet anytime you want to.
Field Bets - These bets are for one dice roll only. If a 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11, 12 is rolled you win. A 5, 6, 7 and 8 make you lose. Field Bets have the following different payoffs: 2 pays double (2:1) while 12 pays 3:1. Other winning dice rolls pays even (1:1).
Big Six, Big Eight Bets - Placed at any roll of dice these bets win if a 6 or 8 comes out before a 7 is rolled. Big Six and Big Eight are even bets and are paid at 1:1.
Proposition Bets - These bets can be made at any time and, except for the hardways, they are all one roll bets:
Any Craps: Wins if a 2, 3 or 12 is thrown. Payoff 8:1
Any Seven: Wins if a 7 is rolled. Payoff 5:1
Eleven: Wins if a 11 is thrown. Payoff 16:1
Ace Duece: Wins if a 3 is rolled. Payoff 16:1
Aces or Boxcars: Wins if a 2 or 12 is thrown. Payoff 30:1
Horn Bet: it acts as the bets on 2, 3, 11 and 12 all at once. Wins if one of these numbers is rolled. Payoff is determined according to the number rolled. The other three bets are lost.
Hardways: The bet on a hardway number wins if it's thrown hard (sum of
pairs: 1-1, 3-3, 4-4...) before it's rolled easy and a 7 is thrown.
Payoffs: Hard 4 and 10, 8:1; Hard 6 and 8, 10:1
