- DON'T COME BETS:
- ================
- As you know, DON'T PASS bets can only be placed BEFORE a point
- is established by the shooter (when the button is OFF). No
- further DON'T PASS bets can be placed after a point has been
- established, and there is never more than one point number
- active for all DON'T PASS bets.
-
- What happens when you want to make a second DON'T PASS bet or
- bet against a second point number? You can't do it with a DON'T
- PASS bet but you can with a DON'T COME bet.
-
- DON'T COME bets are placed on the table in the square just to
- the right of the PLACE bets and the point numbers. This area is
- labeled "DON'T COME BAR".
-
- DON'T COME BETS are identical to DON'T PASS bets in every way
- except that they are only available for wagering while the
- button is ON (after a point is established). Another unique
- feature of DON'T COME bets is that you are allowed to wager more
- than one DON'T COME bet. DON'T COME bets allow for players to
- "come out" multiple times during a shooter's turn and, as a
- result, players can have multiple points "working" at any one
- time. These bets are just the opposite of COME bets which means
- you are betting with the casino and against the table.
-
- DON'T COME bets are paid off at even-money just like DON'T PASS
- bets and likewise, certain "come-out" rolls on a DON'T COME bet
- are instant winners and losers:
-
- 1) If the come-out roll is 7 or 11, you lose (just like a DON'T
- PASS bet).
-
- 2) If the come-out roll is 2, 3, or 12, you win the DON'T COME
- bet (just like with a DON'T PASS bet).
-
- 3) If the come-out roll is 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10, your DON'T COME
- bet chips are moved by the craps table dealer up above the point
- number just rolled.
-
- If you place an additional DON'T COME bet before the next roll,
- the come-out process repeats and your chips are moved above
- another point number.
-
- NOTE: By moving your chips up above the number rolled, the
- casino can keep track of all the different DON'T COME bets that
- are working. By placing the DON'T COME bets above the point
- numbers, the regular COME bets inside the numbered squares, and
- the PLACE bets below the point numbers, the casino can also
- differentiate between the various bets.
-
- Example #1:
- -----------
- DON'T PASS bet of $10 is placed.
- The shooter rolls a 6.
- The button is turned ON and placed above the 6.
- You place a $15 DON'T COME bet.
- The shooter rolls an 11.
- You instantly lose the $15 on the DON'T COME bet.
- You place another $15 DON'T COME bet.
- The shooter rolls an 8.
- Your DON'T COME bet is moved above the 8 by the dealer.
- You place another DON'T COME bet of $20.
- The shooter rolls a 2.
- You instantly WIN your DON'T COME bet of $20!
- You place another DON'T COME bet of $20.
- The shooter rolls a 9.
- Your DON'T COME bet is moved above the 9 by the dealer.
-
- At this point, you have three points "working": $10 on the 6,
- $15 on the 8, and $20 on the 9. Two of which are as a result of
- DON'T COME bets (the 8 and 9) and the other is for your DON'T
- PASS bet (6).
-
- If a seven is then rolled, you would WIN on all three bets! The
- dealer would hand you $45 which is the total winnings for all
- three of your bets currently on the table.
-
- However, if an 8 is rolled, you would LOSE the DON'T COME bet on
- the 8. Likewise, if a 6 is rolled, you would LOSE the DON'T PASS
- bet on the 6 and if a 9 is rolled, you would lose your DON'T
- COME bet on the 9.
-
- Play continues until a seven is rolled or until all points that
- are working have been rolled. If a seven is rolled, it would
- defeat all PASS LINE bets and COME bets, but it would be a
- winner for your DON'T PASS and DON'T COME bets!
-
- Let's Review:
- -------------
- When betting the DON'T COME, you must bet at least the table
- minimum. This will be $1 or $5 at most craps tables. Look for a
- small sign on the table that tells you what the minimum and
- maximum bets are. If you don't see it, ask one of the craps
- table dealers.
-
- You are NEVER required to bet the DON'T COME, and you may place
- successive DON'T COME bets roll after roll as you see fit.
-
- After you place a bet on the DON'T COME, you cannot remove it or
- change it until the shooter rolls your point (you lose) or
- throws a 7 (craps-out - you win).
-
- Remember, DON'T COME bets can only be placed while the button
- marker reads ON. This means the point number has already been
- established by the shooter.
-
- DON'T COME BET WINNERS AND LOSERS:
- ==================================
- 7: If the shooter rolls a 7 on the come-out roll, you
- automatically LOSE your DON'T COME BET. After the DON'T COME
- point is established, this roll wins for DON'T COME BETS.
-
- 11: If the shooter rolls an 11 on the come-out roll, you
- automatically LOSE your DON'T COME bet. After the DON'T COME
- point is established, this roll does not win nor lose for DON'T
- COME BETS.
-
- 2: If the shooter rolls a 2 on the come-out roll, you
- automatically WIN your DON'T COME bet. After the DON'T COME
- point is established, this roll does not win nor lose for DON'T
- COME bets.
-
- 3: If the shooter rolls a 3 on the come-out roll, you
- automatically WIN your DON'T COME bet. After the DON'T COME bet
- point is established, this roll does not win or lose for DON'T
- COME bet.
-
- 12: If the shooter rolls a 12 on the come-out roll, you
- automatically WIN your DON'T COME bet. After the DON'T COME bet
- point is established, this roll does not win or lose for DON'T
- COME bets.
-
- AFTER a DON'T COME point has been established, the only way to
- LOSE is for the shooter to "hit your point" (roll your number)
- before rolling a 7 (craps). If the shooter rolls a seven, you
- would win on your DON'T COME bets.
-
- DON'T COME BET PAYOFFS:
- =======================
- All DON'T COME bets are paid even money. This means you receive
- $1 in winnings for every $1 bet. Example, if you bet $10 on the
- DON'T COME and you win, you will receive $10 in winnings. You
- will end up with $20 which represents your original $10 DON'T
- COME bet plus your $10 in winnings.
-
- MAKING A DON'T COME BET:
- ========================
- To place a bet on the DON'T COME BAR with this game, left mouse
- click on the DON'T COME bet area of the table. The program will
- increase your DON'T COME bet by the currently selected chip
- denomination. Remember, DON'T COME bets can only be placed while
- the button marker reads ON. This means the DON'T PASS point
- number has already been established.
-
- WHEN ARE THEY WORKING:
- ======================
- DON'T COME bets are always working. This means that come bets
- are never "OFF" for any roll including a new DON'T PASS come-out
- roll.
