THINK OF IT AS A BUFFET

Just as a buffet offers a multitude of choices, with relative calorie factors, so a craps game offers a multitude of wagers with varied House Advantage percentages. Players should study the various wagers and the relative House Advantage percentages so as to not get overweight. NextShooter.com offers the complete House Advantage breakdown on every wager on the table. Check it out and stop eating like a pig!

SAY GOODBYE TO THE OLD SHOWBOAT/CASTAWAYS

Station Casinos has already started to clear the lot at the recently acquired Showboat/Castaways property. Demolition of the tower structure is said to be scheduled for early 2006. Though no development plans have been announced, if their plan is anything like the emerging Red Rock Station on the Northwest side, it could become a monster facility. Rumor has it too that Station Casinos is looking seriously at making a move on The Tropicana on The Strip. Players should make notice that most Station properties post 10X Free Odds, a much better deal than you will find on most Strip properties.

THE BONEMAN AS CONSULTANT

The Boneman, author and developer of the NextShooter.com site and a craps dealer on the Strip, has recently been placed on consulting retainer by a California-based company to work on developing some new twists to the game of Craps. Though not at liberty to disclose details about the project, the Boneman is confident that this new rendition will provide an improved learning curve for novice players and an exciting, dramatic feature on number result calls.

CRAPS QUIZ

Here is the answer to the July 2005 quiz:

The Boxman (Woman) is responsible for seeing that bets are paid correctly at the end of the table where the dice LAND.

The answer is FALSE. The Stickman (Woman) is responsible for watching pay-offs at the end of the table where the dice LAND and the Boxman (Woman) is responsible to confirm the call of the dice and then LOOK AT THE OTHER END (from where the dice were THROWN), to confirm the correct pay-offs at that end of the table.

August 2005 Quiz:

A "Hoppin' Hard 10" is basically the same bet, with the same pay-offs as a 12 (Midnight)?

True

False
