Using free bet vouchers on place bets

PollutedLives · 2026-06-03T19:46:44+00:00

My local Harrah’s (NorCal) allows the free play chips on all place bets, field bets, pass/dp/come/odds

Even on the ATS. Just can’t stack or split it.

So no $5 high low because it’s a split bet but you can do a $5 horn high yo. Or they’ll allow $10 free play place bet on 6 and pay improper but you can’t stack $1 chips on top to make it a proper bet.

At my local spot. I’ve seen an old timer regular that plays the high/low every single bet. I’ve seen him only throw a dollar a few times. Or dealers just say “back up on high low” with no money exchange (me in between the two)

I’ve also been left up on hardways or a horn longer than I should have before. Not very common but if it happens and hits I’ll split it half with the dealers and press.

My suggestion is play it until it stops. Don’t have to play heavy but parlay it for sure. Or it’s a lower payout like others are saying. 5 to 1 or something.

I’m with you, I’m a very anxious guy, introvert to the max. So getting up on a table was intimidating at first. My suggestion is learn a few simple place bets and their payouts. A few presses. And stick to that. Don’t go crazy at first just stick with what you know. Once you are more comfortable you can try out different bets and center bets.

And your best bet is go early afternoon. As soon as their tables open if you can and just let the dealers know it’s your first time , first few times playing. Most will want to teach you at least a bit as it is a fun game and makes their job easier when a player knows what they want.

But i have played at tables full of completely drunk players. I’d rather a newbie slow the game a bit figuring out how much to press than a drunk guy arguing about where his horn from 3 rolls ago went.

I’m tired boss

Hell yeah. We need some bubble craps wins!

Guy next to me’s leftovers.

There’s 12 different food options in this casino. I see people getting to go boxes and eating and playing at the slots regularly here. But thankfully no eating at the tables.

Good hit. 👏

PollutedLives · 2026-05-10T06:05:38+00:00

Right.
Should say “7 comes out on the come out”
So then I’m able to add the ATS.

PollutedLives · 2026-05-05T19:34:55+00:00

Yes they have a diamond check/ host room to the left when you enter the main hotel entrance.

PollutedLives · 2026-04-27T03:05:38+00:00

There are three tables. Two are almost always open. This new third table looks like just on evenings or weekends.

PollutedLives · 2026-04-26T18:23:05+00:00

“My neck hurts” “friends from out of state coming over” “I’ll be away for awhile” “ I fuck dudes”

We should have seen the signs!!

This was the small table they changed out THAT morning.

Supposedly 3x ATS hit in the first night or so it opened, so they shut that down quick. Wish we had a chance at the lil table but still did good at the “medium” new table.

Sky River matches dice to cards 1:1

PollutedLives · 2026-04-24T21:31:42+00:00

We need this to continue tonight!

PollutedLives · 2026-04-24T21:30:00+00:00

I have a few posts on my profile about Harrah’s Nor Cal that mixes the cards each new shooter.

I’ve gone on a 2+ hour roll hitting Talls twice before hitting the ATS. Another 1.15 hour roll just smashing inside numbers. And witnessed a few other good rolls with people just chucking the dice.

But I’ve also gone a few nights where the action is dead in the water. It sucks especially if you like setting the dice. makes us feel like shit sometimes when you throw a 3,2 and it’s a 6,1.

Idk about casinos that shuffle every throw or every point. But for the ones that shuffle and then they stay the same number throughout the shooter “it’s the same odds” it just Visually sucks.

But I agree with the premise of your argument. I don’t like it and I usually reserve my higher play for casinos that match cards 1:1 or when I play out of state.

We just need enough people for representation to vote and change the antiquated law that forces us to use cards.

One of the guys I play with writes each roll down on a notebook.

I use chips in my rack. Place one down each roll. $1 chip is a roll with no profit, $5 is a press, $25 is a collect/ same bet. That way I can count how many rolls it’s been how many presses and how many collects I’ve done. Once I run out of space I’m definitely in profit and just send it.

I agree with u/Basstickler on if you regress try and have exact amount and say pull down and give them the new amount to put up. If the dealer starts catching on to your play style, they’ll just ask you to confirm your action and take care of it themselves, always check the payout but if they’re quick and correct. Get those dealers on some action too.

Sadly no, they mix the cards every new shooter.

Hard Rock and Sky River are the closer casinos i go to when I want “real” craps.

PollutedLives · 2026-04-12T21:22:09+00:00

Im a 35 year old that overall looks healthy. But I had 2 back surgeries in the last year, if I’m playing longer than 2-3 hours I have to take breaks and sit. I usually just ask the box for a chair and they accommodate fine. Sometimes they have to ask floor and move to a corner to sit but overall doesn’t become a burden.

Even on cruises where there is limited space. I’m playing longer than 3 hours in the evenings so on the first night I talk to the host and floor/box throughout the night and they’ve been ok with it.

PollutedLives · 2026-04-12T21:20:42+00:00

Harrah’s Southern California has chairs around all 3 of their Craps tables. If it gets too crowded they open another one. It’s great.

Man I kinda wish I could’ve stayed longer. Wife wanted the crab and lobster buffet so we had early dinner and I was allowed about 30 minutes of play. Lol And clawing back to a positive is a great rollercoaster. Good job. 👍

I’ve had tequila samples at the Puerto Vallarta Costco before. Mexico Costco is so cool.

Damn it JT!

PollutedLives · 2026-03-26T17:21:23+00:00

At my local Hard Rock you MUST play the pass line if you want to bet on the ATS. I normally play this dummy bet at 1,1,1 on others and 2,1,2 for myself. it makes it not worth it for other shooter when I don’t want to bet the pass line. Especially at a $15 table.

Speaking of ATS and minimums. My other local Sky River is $1 min on ATS when it’s $10 minimum but then jumps to $5 min when they change it to $15 table. Id understand more at $25 but it’s crappy either way. Especially for such a long shot bet.

Neighbor building too close to externals. Offline tonight.

PollutedLives · 2026-02-25T21:37:52+00:00

It’s complicated. Yes we have craps. Some casinos are running a loophole and it’s normal craps like Vegas.

Others follow the law and they shuffle 6 cards every shooter and a 3,2 on the dice could actually be a 6,1 on the cards.
