Red Craps
Objective of the Game: Craps is a dice game and is said to date back to the Romans but has been made famous in the Casinos of Las Vegas. The Craps table is usually the most exciting table in the house with players taking an active role in the game and adding to the atmosphere by cheering and commenting on the game. Red crabs stop traffic, puncture tires, and wander through open doors during their march to the sea. The red crab migration lasts 9 to 18 days. Red crabs keep the rain forest floor clear of. In OWN BIG RED, you will see what is right with Craps, what is wrong with it, and what you can do about it. You can (that means YOU MIGHT) walk out of the casino a winner, or at least cut your losses and not walk out broke. You will be genuinely excited about playing after reading OWN BIG RED. More importantly, you will no longer fear losing. .WARNING.

I looked around but couldn't find anything online about it. I tried to figure out the edge myself and am coming up with -0.707075916.. I hope my calculations are way off...
The card has a terrible explanation of how the bet works, and I'm not sure I can do much better, but it's kind of a combination of the All Small/All Tall/All or Nothing at All bets and the Fire bet. The 6 box/point numbers are marked on the layout, along with the dice combinations that make up that number (as shown on the card.) The box person is responsible for marking each combination.
So 4 is divided into 1-3 and 2-2, 5 is 1-4 and 2-3, 6 is 1-5, 2-4, 3-3.. and the same for 8, 9, and 10. The dice have to hit every combination of a number, and then that number is marked as 'complete.' Any 7 (seven-out or come-out natural) resolves the bet. You must 'complete' at least 2 numbers to get a payout. The pay table is:
| Completed numbers | Payout |
|---|---|
| <2 | -1 |
| 2 | 5 to 1 |
| 3 | 10 to 1 |
| 4 | 20 to 1 |
| 5 | 50 to 1 |
| 6 | 200 to 1 |
I played for about 2.5 hours and saw 2 numbers get hit twice (nobody bet it these times) and never anything more. This bet was receiving almost no action. One dealer said earlier in the day all 6 had been hit on a $5 bet for a $1000 payout.
Here are images of the card. Sorry for the quality; I put it in my pocket and forgot about it so it's a bit beat up. The min/max was 1-25.

So, house edge of 7.52%.
and no w2-g if you hit the top bet
Here are my results based on a quick simulation.
I was scratching my head trying to come up with formulas. I'm reassured to see that Mike had to do a simulation. And nice to see that the edge isn't unreasonable.The Fire bet only pays out 1.1% of the time, but the 999:1 payout for all 6 is a lot more alluring than 200:1.
I was also thinking about ways you could hedge this bet, and could only come up with one thing that puts it into JP territory. Hope for easy 4 or easy 10 to be the last dice combination to complete all 6 numbers, lay the number to hedge the hot roller bet, and then hedge the lay with a hardway bet. LOL! If the easy way comes, you lose the lay and the hard way, but win all 6 on the hot roller. 7 comes you win the lay but lose the hardway, and still get paid for 5 completed numbers on hot roller. Hard way comes you lose the lay but win the hardway, and then replace the lay and start over.
I visited Dover Downs casino yesterday and saw a new bet called Hot Roller Craps.
I looked around but couldn't find anything online about it.
Maybe In Bet Gaming is not so proud of it. or maybe they are and they think this will dominate Craps tables all over the world?I played this in WinCraps for a NBA basketball game duration.
Crap.
The bet has nothing to do with the game of Craps or even popular bets that can be made in Craps..
Is not exciting or even fun at all, for me,
I mean who cares a 4 rolls 1-3 or 2-2 unless the hardway is bet.
and someone somewhere got a kick out of having 14 combinations of the dice roll before a 7.

well, good for them
My $400 Buy4 could not care less ;)
This is an awful bet IMO
and it forces box to track it. that is really great if that is true.
would probably do much better as a bet in Sic Bo
now that game needs a multi-roll bet to gain some popularity.
