Casino Party Craps Strategy

2011-12-23T23:29:00.000-08:00

So you wanna beat craps eh? Good call. Unlike other games in the casino, craps offers bets that reduce the house advantage to nearly nothing... now if only the dice would fall the way we want them to.
Best Bets

One of the best bets in the casino is taking odds on Pass Line bets. This is one of the few places (much like a double down in BlackJack) where the player has the opportunity to maximize their bet based on play that has already occurred. First of all lets talk about dice combinations to get an idea of general probabilities or Ways.

The column on the left is the possible roll, the row accross the top is the number of ways that roll can be made using standard six-sided dice (none of that Dungeons and Dragons stuff here...). Here's a breakdown:

There is one way to make aces and twelve.
There are two ways to make the three and eleven.
There are three ways to make the four and ten.
There are four ways to make the five and nine.
There are five ways to make the six and eight.
There are six ways to make the seven.

As you can see there is more ways to make a seven than any other number, therefore statistically, the seven will come out more than any other number. This works in the players favor on the Come Out roll if they have a Pass Line bet and if they are betting a Come bet after the point has already been made.
Possible Betting Strategies

There are infinite ways to play craps and every player develops systems or ideas which they think will be the key to winning at craps. No real betting system has been proven, since luck plays such a huge role (roll?) in the game. We offer these possible betting strategies to get you thinking about the game in ways that maybe you haven't, not as a cure for bad luck or a sure fire way to get rich.
Strategy #1 - Pass Line with Max Odds

One of the most used betting strategies is to bet the Pass Line and take advantage of Maximum odds after the point has been established (depending on the number rolled). Pass Line bets have virtually no house advantage. If the point is a 6 or 8 the odds pay 6-5, if the point is 5 or 9 the odds pay 3-2, and if the point is a 4 or 10 the odds pay 2-1. This is one of the best bets in the house.
Strategy #2 - Pass Line with Place Bets

Some players like to play Pass Line bets (with odds) reinforced by Place Bets on 6 and/or 8 (if the point is 6 or 8, move one of the Place Bets to a 5 or 9). This covers the three most probable rolls other than a Seven.
Strategy #3 - Pass Line with Odds + Come Bets with Odds

We've coined a term for this type of bet: Comesurance. Let's say that the Come Out roll establishes a point of 6. The player throws a bet to the Come bar and on the shooters next roll they Seven out (how many times have you seen that happen?). Here the player loses their original Pass Line bet, but wins on the Come's come out roll. You still lose your odds and whatever else is out there, but its a little insurance policy. If the player rolls a 9 on the second roll instead of the 7, the Come bet moves to the 9 and the player is offered the opportunity to place odds on the Come bet as well... also with almost no house advantage. The player can continue to throw Come bets and odds out, covering all the numbers with Odds (or not) and recouping their Pass Line bet if the shooter rolls 7. Of course, if the shooter throws Craps on the Come, come out roll the player loses. Its a bit more complex, but we've seen some pretty large winnings using this strategy.
Possible Strategy #4 - Limited Positive Progression Hardways

Throw down $4 for 4,6,8 and 10 hardways. Hit once, press it. Hit again take it. Its a long shot absolutely, but we've seen it work on occasion. You can vary this to a press/press/take scenario, but you'll really be pressing your luck.

Poker Parties & Charity Poker Nights

2010-01-27T16:46:00.000-08:00

For your next event, consider an Arizona Casino Knights hosted poker tournament. Our tournament directors are trained to run an event like those seen on television.

With the growing popularity of Texas Hold'em poker on television, the uses of a poker tournament are endless:

Team Building - See who is the best poker player in the office. Bragging rights are at stake!
Client appreciation - Thank your clients with a fun evening of poker. If you ask each client to bring a friend, you can even use it to increase your business.
Bar or restaurants - Reward your loyal customers with a chance to win free food and prizes.
Just for fun - Poker tournaments are great fun, why do you need any other excuse?

Running the Event

As your guests arrive, they will select a seat card. This will tell them their starting table and seat number. Upon arriving at the table, the dealer will direct them to their seat, collect the seat card and give the player his starting chips.

Once all of the players are seated, the tournament director will announce to the dealers to "Shuffle up and deal" as seen on many television poker tournaments. Any late players will still be allowed to play. A position will be held for them and any blind bets will be removed from their chip stack as if they were folding every hand.

Play begins with each player receiving an equal amount of chips. There will be two blinds posted per hand to force the action. As play progresses, the amount of the blind bets increase. The tournament director will customize the blind amounts based upon the starting chip count, number of players, and length of the event. Most events are scheduled for three hours but larger events can take longer.

As play continues, players will be eliminated from the tournament. The tournament director will continually move players around and break down tables to keep the same number of players at each table. Once we are down to nine players the final table will begin. Play will continue until one person accumulates all of the chips and is declared the winner.

What we Provide

Tables - We use high-quality Texas Hold'em tables. They have padded railings with cup holders and professional felt used in many casinos. Our tables seat nine players plus the dealer. Arizona Casino Knights only provides tables. The client will need to supply 10 chairs per table.
Tournament Director - The tournament director will be the main person in charge of your event. He will set the blinds and chip amounts to make sure the event ends on time. He also is in charge of moving players and breaking down tables until the final table is reached at which time he will announce the action to spectators until a winner is determined. Our tournament directors employ the rules developed by the Tournament Directors Association and used in many big buy-in professional events so that your event is run to the same standards as a televised poker tournament.
Dealers - Our dealers are professionally attired in tuxedo shirts and bow ties. Our tournament dealers receive additional training to ensure your event runs smoothly and all of your guests have a great time. They also will assist novice players by clearly explaining rules and procedures.
Tournament Software - We employ tournament software to track play and blind levels as well as to keep the tournament clock. We can also provide a projection system for larger events to display the event information onto a screen to keep all players informed about the progress of play.
Accessories - All of the chips, cards and other accessories needed to run a tournament. We use 100% plastic GEMACO playing cards like those used in many casino poker rooms.
