Thanks for the input. After thinking about this for a while, I am beginning to think the reason the "don't come" box on our table is taped off is because the dealers were getting bamboozled by the players. Remember, we're all just amateur volunteers with no professional training.

Anyway, my take is the dealers would move the "don't come" bet up to the number and then, when the number apeared, the players screamed that it was a "come bet" and...

Thanks for the input.

Yes, it's a 100% legal game and we're in it to make money. Players can win and some do BIG time. The only thing you win (or lose) is cash. We dont care how much a player wins so long as the table and the house makes money at the end of the night

In the past, we make about 1 grand a night on our craps table. All voluteer dealers. LOT's of work on a non-stop 8 hour shift. Before I took over, the old timers that ran the table for years and...

There is a charitable game that Caesars Ent. used to put on with Fed-Ex in Memphis. It is like Riva1 said, you buy chips and the winner at the end of the night got a prize. They would ask for dealers to work the event (we would get paid a flat rate no tips from the tip pool), but we would not have to work 8 hours, only about 4. And they would give you a new pair of shoes and a polo shirt (Nike shoes and shirt the last time I did it, over 4 years ago). The dealers did not care because it...

WOW, are you sure this is legal?? I always thought that you just "purchased" chips for a set amount of money, then the top chip holders at the end of the night recieved small prizes (gift certificates, etc.), not actually cash winnings....

I'm not a professional dealer by any means but, I do have a few questions for some experts. Thanks.

A non-profit school where I am a volunteer has frequent "Vegas Nights" throughout the year to raise money. The events are well attended and we make good money for the school. In fact we own our own 14' table and might purchase another because so many people want to play.

Being a charitable game, we are not obligated to have standard rules and/or normal...
