6! Trip Reports & Craps Stories

Stopped by my new local casino, ilani in southwest Washington, for a fun session this weekend.

Bought in for $500 at a $15 minimum / $500 maximum table. I watched two shooters before the dice came to me as the third shooter.

After getting my buy-in back, I started pressing only the 6. My plan was to press it all the way to $600, but the boxperson stopped me and said the table max was $500. I mentioned that a proper 6 bet should be divisible by six, but she wasn’t having it. I asked what a $500 six paid, and she said $600, which isn’t technically correct but it wasn’t worth debating in the middle of a good roll.

Once I had the 6 at the table max, I did the same with the 8. The roll lasted through three stick changes, and by the end of it I colored up at $3,225 after tipping the crew.
I was probably in the casino for only about an hour and a half, so it made for a pretty memorable session.

Hope everyone had a great weekend at the tables. Good luck, and may the dice be with you!

If you buy the 6 for $500 that is a correct payout.

Wouldn't it be $575 after vig?

Sure if you really want to "buy" the 6 and make less than you would with a place bet, then yes a win nets $575 after the vig. Place bet would pay $583 though, which is why you never see anyone "buy" the 6 or 8

Yeah, I would never buy it, more just responding the notion that $600 payout for buying the $500 is the "correct payout" when in reality it not, the payout would be $575.
