This cycle continues 24/7…as long as the table is open and staffed. It could be anywhere from 2 rolls to hundreds of rolls, as long as they don’t throw a 7.Īfter the point is hit and the puck is off, the shooter can throw a 7 and keep the dice, remember a 7 wins on a come out roll. The point cycle starts when a point is established and continues until that point is hit. If they hit their point, they retain the dice and start a new come out roll. If they throw a 7, their turn is over and the dice move to the next player.
Once the point is established, the shooter continues rolling until they either throw the 7 or until they hit the point.
For example, if the shooter throws a 10 on the come out roll, the puck will move to the 10 and 10 is the point. When a point is established, the dealers will turn the “ puck” on and place the puck on the point. Any other number rolled (4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10) will become the point. If the come out roll is a 7 or 11, the shooter and anyone on the pass line wins. On the come out roll, if the result is a 2, 3, or 12, the shooter and anyone who bet on the pass line will lose. In order to roll the dice, a player must make a pass line bet.
” The start of the game, or the first roll, is known as the “ come out roll “. The person who rolls the dice is known as “ the shooter. The objective of the game is to roll a number or “ point ” with two dice and then roll the same number again before rolling a seven.
