We had our 2nd dice table converted about 2 weeks ago to a CRAPS NO MORE table.
For those of you unaware of the difference, You can not loose on the come out roll, 2, 3, and 12 can and will become points, as well as the 11, which no longer wins on the come out roll. There is no dark side (i.e. Don't Pass or Don't Come bets).
It is still a time of learning and adjustment for the dice dealers when they are on this game. So lots of interesting and funny and weird things happen.
A player throws down some money and says "cover all of the numbers" we have to stop and think what proper units are going to be on the new numbers, figure out the change and it slows us down a little. The player gets frustrated thinking we dont know what we are doing but I just stop and say "Hey man, It's ok, we just got this game here and we are still figuring it out" so this usually works.
How weird does this sound " 2 Craps 2, the point is 2, mark the 2."
Or "Yo 11, Point's 11, Mark the Yo" then all your players look at you like "aren't you going to pay me?" All I have to do is say "Nope, the point is 11!" and suddenly you get all these WTF looks.
Then there the mid game call of Yo. Last night I'm on stick and the point was 5. A few rolls later "Yo 11, good field, comes to Yo!" But wait, thats not what my 3rd base dealer is doing! I swish my stick over and smack it down like a Catholic School Teacher onto the a come bet the 3rd base dealer payed, and yelled "No!!"... he was clearly thinking of traditional craps "good field, good come" and we both bust out laughing, and I had the fun of rubbing it in on him all night!
It is a good thing we had a great personality of a box man! Some box men are sticks in the mud and the fun woulda just deflated fast!
