Dealer Roll

In front of you there would be the baccarat caller. He is the casino employee that oversees the game. He knows the exact rules and announces the moves made during the game. The caller tells players when they must hit and stand; he collects commissions and informs players on their status during the session.To the callers left and right there's a dealer standing. He is responsible for the players sitting at his side of the baccarat table. The dealer transfers cash money into chips for players and players can ask him for any kind of help. You can ask the dealer for a pen and paper to keep track on your bets, you may request from him a copy of the table's rules of baccarat and much more. On the baccarat layout there is also a spot for the commission, which is a 5% of each winning Banker-bet you make. For example, when you win on a $30 Banker bet then the caller would place $1.5 in chips on the commission spot in front of you. This is made to remind you, in an elegant way, that you owe the house the 5% of your winningbet.

    There are many system hustlers in Las Vegas right now, pushing their plans on unsuspecting gamers like ourselves. For example, I could show you how placing the red and two far columns covers almost all of the board. With this setup you're in a good position to make a hit on almost every spin. The only numbers not covered are the six blacks in the first column. The problem is, you'll end up losing more on your losing bets than you'll recover from your winning bets, in the long run. Most systems are the same, intriguing at first, but disappointing in the long run. Systems are by far the biggest way gamblers try to beat roulette, and it is likely the worst approach. The simple mathematics behind the game must convince a large number of players that the edge is somehow subject to influence, but it is the simple math that makes it just not so. The only way to beat roulette is to either develop a good way to cheat (read, take advantage of any unintentional casino mistakes - or develop a highly sophisticated team cheating setup) or get lucky.Since we don't have much control over the latter variable, maybe we can look at the first. The idea of cheating a Las Vegas casino may not be on first on most people's list of favorite things to do, but everybody is a bit curious about how it could realistically be accomplished. Roulette is one of those games that gives the occasional opportunity.The most exploitable opportunity to beat roulette by cheating the casino is to learn how to identify a dealer's signature. The idea of a dealer's signature is that the roulette dealer may become so methodical in their actions, that they throw the marble with the same intensity on each spin. Granted the intensity and spin of the marble as it leaves the dealer's hands is only one variable in many that contribute to where it comes to rest, but if it is isolated there may be a pattern that emerges. This pattern is your best bet to beat roulette.There are a number of players worldwide who firmly believe they have encountered a dealer's signature, if only for one night. To try and identify a signature, discreetly stand in a position where you can see the ball leave the dealers hand. Take note of where it is on the wheel when it exits. Then pay attention to where to ball lands (taking note of any extremely random bouncy balls, exclude those from your experiment) Specifically try to measure how far around the wheel the ball has traveled. For each spin see if it has traveled around approximately the same amount each time. If it has you may identify a small pocket of numbers in one corner of the wheel that the dealer hits consistently, relative to where they let the marble go. Perhaps a dealer will consistently have the ball land three quarters of the way around the wheel from where it is let go. You simply watch until the dealer let the ball go, then you place bets on the group of numbers that fall that far around thewheel.

    Pass LineA pass line bet is a bet placed before the come out roll (i.e. the first roll of the dice in a new craps round) A wager on the pass line wins immediately if the come out roll is 7 or 11 (naturals), and loses if the come out roll is 2, 3, or 12 (craps numbers) If any other number (4,5, 6, 8, 9, or 10) is rolled, that number becomes "the point." If the shooter rolls the point again before rolling a 7, your pass line bet wins. If the shooter rolls a 7 before rolling the point again, your pass line bet loses. Don't Pass LineA don't pass line bet is essentially the reverse of a pass line bet, and is alsoplaced before the come out roll. If the shooter rolls 3 or 12 on the come outroll, a don't pass line bet wins immediately. If, however, the come out rollis 7 or 11, don't pass line bets lose. If the come out roll is 2, a don't passline bet is returned to the player in a push. If the come out roll is 4, 5, 6,8, 9, or 10, that number becomes the point. Once the point has been established,don't pass line bets win if the shooter rolls a 7 before rolling the point again.If the shooter rolls the point again before rolling a 7, don't pass line betslose. ComeA come bet is placed before any roll of the dice, once a point has been established by the come out roll. Come bets win immediately if the shooter's next roll is 7 or 11, and lose if the roll is 2, 3, or 12. If the shooter rolls 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10, that number becomes "the come point." If the shooter rolls the come point again before rolling a 7, the come bet wins. Don't ComeA don't come bet is essentially the opposite of a come bet. Don't come bets winimmediately when the shooter's next roll is 3 or 12, and lose if the roll is7 or 11. If the shooter rolls a 2, the bet will be returned to the player ina push. After the come point is established, don't come bets win if 7 is rolledand lose if the come point is rolled.

    Pai Gow Poker is a variation of the Chinese domino game gai gow. Pai gow poker is played with a 53 card deck, including a joker. Pai Gow Poker is played one on one, the player against the dealer, each competing to make the best possible hands. After placing an initial bet, both player and dealer receive seven cards. The object of the game is for the player to split (or set) the seven dealt cards into two hands - a five-card High hand, and a two-card Low hand. The cards must be set in such a way that the five-card hand has a higher poker rank than the two-card hand. For example, the player's hand is: 6,7,8,9,10,A,A. The player sets the pair of Aces as the Low hand, and 6,7,8,9,10 (straight) as the High hand. The dealer's hand is: 2,2,2,A,K,4,5. The dealer sets the Ace and King as the Low hand, and 2,2,2,4,5 (three of a kind) as the High hand. The player beats both the dealer's High and Low hands, thus winning the round. The hands are ranked according to standard poker rules, with the exception that an A-2-3-4-5 straight is the second highest straight after A-K-Q-J-10. The only real difference between Pai Gow Poker hand ranks and standard poker hand ranks is that a five-Aces hand (four Aces and a Joker) beats a royal flush, and it is the highest hand in the game. By the way, the best Low hand is a pair of Aces. After the player finished arranging his/her hands, the dealer arranges his/her hands according to a set of fixed rules (the House Way) The player's two hands (High and Low) are then compared with the dealer's two hands (High and Low) to determine the winner. In order to win, both the player's High and Low hands must have a higher poker rank than both the dealer's High and Low hands (according to the Pai Gow Poker Hand Ranks table)
