r/Craps

Do casinos accept cash deposits by players from which they can draw at the tables?

I would think this would be a good way for a regular player to fund their play , especially when dealing with large amounts which can be risky to walk around with.

Is this done? Or are markers only drawn against a credit line?

Going to Aruba 15$ table last year so I’m assuming it’s the same I forgot what I brought. I will have 3-4 nights of play prob 4 hrs a night.

I usually play pass line with odds, some hard ways (5 min bet on these), little bit of field and I like playing numbers too.

What should I bring 300-400 buying per session?

4 night cruise, I was a bit unsure what bankroll to bring because I have a tendency to bring 1200ish for one session that could get blown through in an hour 😂

What I found was this- one table, 10 min, 3-4-5x, and generally the table was always full. As you’d expect, everyone there to have a good time, majority seemed to be relatively new players with a few experienced players. Most nights it was the same players which I thought was pretty cool/fun. Dealers were mediocre on payouts but all friendly. I say mediocre on payouts because I don’t do anything crazy on my presses but sometimes I’ll half press 2 numbers / sisters and they’d get confused or pretty slow, and I had to correct errors a few times. Even once they almost paid me 1:1 odds on a 5 or 9 point hitting. Never any issue, everyone was cool.

With this type of setting I found it pretty easy to relax my temptation of betting too heavy and was able to actually have fun with small little $300 buy ins. With full tables (slow action) and everyone in good moods, a $300 buy in could last all night long. Over the 4 nights, the dice were mostly balanced, no loaded dice like they use at hard rock Tampa (lmao), plenty of solid rolls and never got crazy ice cold. Tampa will have hours of no one hitting a point. Overall won money on the cruise. Played almost everything they had (UTH, roulette, BJ, slots), was up on UTH and craps and overall.

Also the ship was mostly lame as far as other activities and the pool was trash so I def was just wanting to mostly gamble 😂

I have a trip coming up and I’m still not familiar with a lot of the casinos there. What I’m hoping for this time is pretty much the opposite of what I usually get at my locals: So a place that doesn’t have a lot of regulars, that attracts tourists but non-high rollers, newbie-friendly, fun vibe, pretty much anything a serious craps player would hate.

There might not be such a place, there might be too many to name. But I really want to have some low-to-no pressure sessions while I’m there.

Stopped in quick today and walked past the cluster of machines by the door because I didn’t like the vibe. Went to machines by the bar and sat down. $25 on pass line and the come out was 7. Win.

$25 on pass line and the point is 6. 2X odds and $25 on place for the point. Immediately rolled a 6. Left with a $140 win after 2 minutes. Resorts World Newburgh

Quick session at Argosy Casino in Kansas City, MO. $10 table. As soon as I buy in shooter hits the smalls. Had $5 on it so a quick $175. 7 out. I get the dice snd go in a decent roll hitting a couple of points with $10 on Passline and $25 on odds so a couple of nice payouts. 7out after about 3 points giy. Table got choppy from there so I gave some back. Color up and outta there with my initial buy in plus profit! This is all going up until my next visit!

Side note: Argosy by far has the best craps experience in the KC Metro. Great knowledgeable snd entertaining dealers. $10 tables and not as crowded as Hollywood or Harrah’s. Anyway just my 2c. Great session.

What is your preferred player number at your table? Fully packed, empty or a handful of other players?

I was up to $1600 in the bubble machine and I should have just quit then and called it a night, I'm so mad at myself because this is the 2nd time that this has happened to me. I remember feeling real confident at that $1600 mark and I wanted to push it closer to that $2k mark and then came the bad rash of 7s and I couldnt hit a point to save my life. How do you make yourself stop playing this game?

Nothing interesting here *for me*, I stopped by for a victory lap after winning moderately in blackjack at the Cosmo (yes, I know playing 6:5 makes me part of the problem).

But this bro at my table was in the process of losing *30 grand*. Had to sign for the chips and everything. Had no idea what he was doing- chips on pass line, chips in the middle, chips hopping a bunch of stuff, $1K on ATS, all sorts of nonsense. Dude’s circle of hangers on looked like they wanted to take me out when I PSO’d playing just three point molly with table minimums.

Only time I’ve ever been….well not *happy*….but we’ll say *amused* to have a meh roll.

Greetings,

I've learned how to play craps via an app called WinCraps. In the app, I configured the settings to leave my original bets up when they hit.

I've never played in a real casino before so when I do & go to put my place & buy bets down once a point is established, do I tell the banker that I prefer to leave my original bets in play when they hit or do I just put the amount back out when the dealer hands me my winnings for that bet?

Also, I like to reduce all of my initial place/buy bets after a couple of hits, do I tell the banker I want to reduce each of these bets to "x" when that time comes or do I have to take them all down and then put up the reduced bet amounts where I want them?

I tracked all my different sessions over the course of two weeks in Vegas, and the results were:

317/1142 (#7s/total # rolls)

Final day was especially brutal:

1st session - 12/42 numbers were 7s

2nd session - 7/16 numbers were 7s

I had one winning session this trip, playing Crapless.

On another note: when playing Table craps this weekend I got to play a little bit of craps with an Actor, which was cool.

Needless to say, I'll never touch bubble craps again because my bad luck is amplified on that for whatever reason.

Slots helped offset my losses, but I'm still absolutely down this trip, lol.

Just finished my second trip to vegas, got some good $10 sessions at multiple places, and had some nice bubble craps wins. Overall won around $550 for the trip and the last session I had was the live $10 table at ellis island. I ended up losing like $20 for that session, but I had an interesting win with my come bet when the puck was off.

For reference I am a pass line odds + 1 come bet odds, sometimes place 6/8, and I always do my odds working on come out rolls. I had a 4 with single odds come bet when the puck was off, and a 4 rolled, but I forgot to tell the dealer I wanted my odds on. So he told the pit boss I would usually put odds working (I had done so all session) and they paid me the odds!

Obviously I tipped him well, but has anyway else had this happen? Is it even common for pit bosses to allow that?

Going to SkyRiver in Elk Grove, Ca for the first time. Anyone else there tonight want to meet up?
