(Craps) Trying to Get Ahead with Hard Eights

Welcome to the table, John! Great to have you here.

You start with $1000. Let’s get started by placing your bets. First, decide if you want to place a Pass Line or Don’t Pass Line bet (essentially betting with or against the dice). The minimum bet is $5 and the maximum is $5000 on this table.

Let me know your bet and I’ll explain the next steps!

50 on the pass line

Great choice, John! You’ve placed $50 on the Pass Line.

Here’s how it works: we’re about to roll the “come-out roll”. If you roll a 7 or 11, you win your Pass Line bet. If you roll a 2, 3, or 12, you lose. Any other number (4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10) becomes the “point,” and we’ll continue rolling. The goal then is to roll the point number again before rolling a 7.

Are you ready to roll the dice, John?

Alright, let’s see how you do.

[You roll the dice…]

The dice show a 7!

Congratulations, John! You rolled a natural on the come-out roll. You win your $50 Pass Line bet. Now you have $1050.

Would you like to keep playing? If so, would you like to place another Pass Line bet, or try something different?

200 on pass

Feeling lucky, I see! You’ve placed $200 on the Pass Line. Here’s hoping for another winning roll.

Ready for the come-out roll, John?

[You roll the dice…]

The dice show a 6!

The number 6 is now the point. You will need to roll a 6 again before rolling a 7 to win your Pass Line bet. Let’s keep the dice rolling!

Ready for the next roll?

400 on hard eights, then roll.

You’ve placed a $400 bet on Hard Eights, which means you’re betting that the next roll will be a pair of fours (4-4), otherwise known as a hard 8. Remember, you still need to roll a 6 to win your Pass Line bet.

Alright, John, let’s roll the dice and see what happens.

[You roll the dice…]

The dice show… 5-3! That’s a soft 8 (not a pair of fours).

Unfortunately, you lose the Hard Eights bet. But don’t worry; you’re still in the game for the Pass Line bet as we’re still trying to hit a 6.

Your balance is now $650. Want to place any additional bets or continue rolling for the point?

650 on hard eights, then roll.

You’re going big this time! You’ve placed $650 on Hard Eights.

Remember, we still need a 6 to win your Pass Line bet, and you’re now also betting on rolling a hard 8.

Alright, John, let’s roll the dice.

[You roll the dice…]

The dice show… 4-3. That’s a 7!

Unfortunately, you lose both your Hard Eights and Pass Line bets. Your balance is now down to $0.

Thank you for playing, John. Would you like to buy back in and continue playing or call it a day?
