What do you usually see?
Also, what do you think the break point is?
This particular casino I go to, almost ALWAYS has an Outside Stick (meaning fully staff 3 dealer table).
The funny part is, 99% of the time the dealers outnumber the people playing.
Obviously Fri/Sat nights and Special Events will draw a crowd...but under normal circumstances, they could run it with iniside stick.
Hell, as for me, I'd run inside stick during the week entirely.
Of course, Graveyard I'd just put up a tub and let one dealer deal it (as 99% of the time during grave NO ONE plays; the two dealers sometimes three just lean on the table and stare into space)
The most funny thing is...the REST of the entire pit is usually FULL, while the craps table remains empty.

Almost always two dealers and a stick. On occasion, I have on occassion seen a two person crew, but the stick was still on the 'outside'. They told anyone who wanted to play to stand on the end of the table where the the dealer position was staffed (This at Palace Station on a Sunday afternoon).
I think the management has to make a call regarding whether to close the table entirely or keep a crew there. 'If you staff it, they will come'. Even if only one guy walks up and drops $100 in half an hour, it may be worth keeping it open.
There may also be something to keeping folks on for a minimum number of hours, even with no action for some of them, to make sure you are fully staffed on the busy nights. If you let them go, or put them 'on call', you will lose employees to joints where they offer hours, and the benefits that come with working a certain number of them.

Sounds like the dealers should try to hustle players or that management should teach classes on how to play. Craps is a little scary at first for new players.
As a player I am a fan of having a full table, 3 dealers and a box man I have seen some casinos where on slow shifts the box man sometimes will do floor duties, or one box man will work two craps tables.

Morongo did this on a Friday night, they closed the one half of the table and only had 1 dealer. Then they raised the bet from $5 to $10, on a half empty table. I cashed out as soon as my bets were resolved.

Good. The casino should realize its their fault when tables are virtually empty. Sure the casino wants lots of players provided they have plenty of money and very attractive females with them. Well, the casino can hope for this all they want but staffing and minimums are the primary factors and Player Development is the second most important factor. Closing half the table and chasing players off the other half just hardly makes sense yet I'm sure somewhere there is a casino executive making a speech about the economy.

CrapsMorongo's game isn't traditional Craps, but uses cards, no? It seems a waste of a perfectly good craps table to not play the game with dice based outcomes.

It is, but all games with dice-based outcomes are illegal in California, on or off tribal land. That's why you have products like this one.

I am mildly amused, and slightly irritated, that they (Morongo) go through the trouble of buying a full size table with the 'pyramid' liner, even though dice are not part of the game.
I don't see how reducing staff, and pushing the players to one end of the table at a game without dice makes any difference. No one is shooting, so player position makes no difference. There's no reason to have a stick position staffed, as the boxman can handle the center bets.

I am pretty sure they have the table there just in case the day comes when dice are legal, they will be ready.
Even though its not the same as dice, it took a while for me to even fathom playing it. When I do, it goes way too fast. Since the boxman flips the cards, they dont have a 'slow pace' of a normal table. They just keep flipping.
I'll take dice over cards any day.

Never underestimate the stupidity of a purchasing agent who decides upon a professional craps table with all the frets and stuff and never even realizes there are no dice involved.

Beginning gamblers often shy away from the craps table because the game looks complicated. It’s actually easy to play craps because the math keeps everyone honest. A rule of thumb to live by in any casino game is “the more they pay the less likely you are to win the bet”. Hence, there is no shame and a lot of wisdom in playing a conservative craps strategy. Here is a look at 12 secrets every craps player should learn to improve their game.

1. Why are Casino Dice Special?

Casinos use transparent dice because they hide no flaws. Opaque dice can be manufactured to varying standards and can hide balancing flaws. Unbalanced dice do not roll randomly.

And casinos replace their dice often. Casino dice have machine-tooled straight edges. These edges eventually wear down, accumulating imperfections. Imperfections add bias to rolls.

Casino dice are larger and straighter than board gaming dice because players must throw the dice so far on a craps table. The felt top and lining help the dice bounce more randomly than a smooth table top does.

So while you may be practicing your die throws at home, you’re not going to get the same action as at a casino, especially if you never replace your practice dice.

How To Play Craps

2. How the 5-Count System Works

Since 1994 craps players have debated whether the Captain’s 5-Count system is legit. This system tells you when to bet on a shooter other than yourself. Here are the 5 counts:

  • Any point on the Come Out roll roll.
  • Any good roll after the 1st Count roll.
  • Any good roll after the 2nd Count roll.
  • Any good roll after the 3rd Count roll.
  • The first point rolled after the 4th Count roll.

You begin placing low bets on the shooter after he hits his 5th Count roll. If he never gets there then you never bet on that shooter. Never bet big on another shooter.

The 5-Count method reduces the number and size of bets you place on other shooters, thus reducing your overall risk. The downside of using the 5-Count method is that you watch more than play, but betting on a drunk guy to throw dice the way you want is a pretty risky bet.

3. You Can Stop the Game for a Dispute

Sometimes the dice roll funny, or maybe you’re not sure you were paid correctly. Before the dice are thrown again, if you are certain something is wrong, you can stop the game. You can ask the dealers to recount or reconsider or, if you disagree with their decisions, ask to speak to the pit boss. This is an option of last resort when you are sure you are right. Casinos want to keep the table in play and will work to resolve disputes quickly but they’ll also ask troublesome or argumentative players to leave.

Stopping play is a mix of courtesy, privilege, and right. It’s not a gambling strategy, at least not a winning one.

4. The More Bets You Place the Worse Your Chances of Winning

This is true in any table game, but some craps players love to place multiple bets. You’re taking on more risk, not spreading the risk, when you place several bets at the same time.

5. Know the Die Roll Probabilities

In a completely random game the chances of any given number on either die being rolled is 1 in 6. The chance of rolling any combination of numbers on the dice is 1 in 36. This “1 in 36” number can mislead you. There are only 11 possible values (2 through 12) that you can roll.

“7” is the most frequent die roll combination. There are 6 ways to roll a “7”. Some writers say there are three ways to roll a “7”: 1 and 6, 2 and 5, or 3 and 4. However, the math has to account for each die separately; hence, the probability of rolling a “7” in craps is 1 in 6.

In declining order of probability, the possible combinations in craps are:

  • 7 (1 in 6)
  • 6 or 8 (5 in 36)
  • 5 or 9 (4 in 36)
  • 4 or 10 (3 in 36)
  • 3 or 11 (2 in 36)
  • 2 or 12 (1 in 36)

6. The “Pass” Bet is More Likely to Pay on Come Out than the “Don’t Pass” Bet

Both Pass and Don’t Pass pay even money so you can bet either way. Still, when you look at the probability table above, the shooter has 8 chances in 36 of rolling 7 or 11 on the Come Out roll and 3 chances in 36 of rolling a 2 or 3. If you are just hoping to win on the Come Out roll, go with the “Pass” bet.

7. The 6 and 8 Points Pay the Most over Time

The 6:5 odds for the 6 and 8 points are the worst and the 2:1 odds for the 4 and 10 points are the best. But the probabilities are best for the 6 and 8 and worst for the 4 and 10.

The premium on a 6:5 payoff for 6 or 8 is 20% over your bet. The premium on a 3:2 payoff for a 5 or 9 is 50% of your bet. The premium on a 2:1 payoff for a 4 or 10 is 100% of your bet. In a perfect distribution of 36 die rolls your expected total premiums are:

  • 5 * 20% = 100% (betting on 6 or 8)
  • 4 * 50% = 200% (betting on 5 or 9)
  • 3 * 100% = 300% (betting on 4 or 10)

Although the 300% ROI for 4/10 looks great there is a slight edge for 6/8 bettors. Because you are losing all those other bets, you lose the least amount of money with the 6/8 points. Note also that multiplying (bets + premiums) by expected wins across the board results in a 600% return. The distribution with the fewest losses is the way to bet.

8. The More Complicated Your Strategy the More Risk You Take

The more you have to think about where your money goes, the odds and probabilities, and when you can bet, the more likely you will make a mistake. High risk strategies pay off less often than low risk strategies. Most experts agree that the long, slow game works best in craps, especially for non-expert players. Keep your money on the Pass Line until you’re way ahead.

9. Avoid Hedge Bets

Ignore dealer calls for “any craps” bets. Your expected return declines your risk grows when you hedge bets. “Any craps” betting is a bet on a bet. This just adds conditions to your Pass Line bet. The strategic way to gamble is to minimize risk while maximizing potential return on bet. The house will drain your bankroll any way it can and hedge bets are a favored gimmick.

10. Use the Tower of Hanoi Method to Manage Your Betting

The Tower of Hanoi is a math puzzle about moving stacks of disks among three pegs. You can never place a disk on a smaller disk. The Tower of Hanoi rule assumes you are willing to lose everything in your bankroll. To conserve your money and manage risk, begin by making minimum bets. Increase your bets only when your bankroll is above its starting value.

Many craps players only risk 5% of their stakes on any bet. The 5% method works well enough but you’ll eventually run into the table minimum. The Tower of Hanoi method starts with the minimum bet as a floor, not 5%. As long as your bankroll is growing you can increase your bets toward the table maximum.

11. Never Return to Your Starting Stake

Let’s say your betting strategies have paid off enough that you have doubled your money. Once you reach that goal you should set a new floor. Walk away from the table if your stake drops to 150% of your original bankroll. This way you walk away a winner.

But there is another reason to do this. If you play any game too long you become tired, especially if you have been drinking. Your decision-making suffers when you are tired. Take “winner’s breaks” as often as possible so that you can give your brain a chance to rest.

12. The House Edge is not Determined by the Odds

Some gamblers assume the house loses more money on the basis of the odds on a given bet. It doesn’t work that way. The game is designed to pay about the same over time on any basic bet but to dilute your return with extra bets. In other words, the house edge is determined by the math behind the game. The odds are just what they are willing to pay you to maintain that edge over time.

Conclusion

Live Craps Videos Las Vegas

Craps is a fine game for any gambler who enjoys taking risks, but you do need to understand the game. Fortunately, craps is designed for players of all experience levels. You don’t have to play all the different types of bets. And isn’t it interesting that the best strategies favor beginner-level bets anyway?
