Winstar Craps
I wonder what their roulette minimums are...
Bubble craps machines are probably considered 'slot machines' just as much as video poker machines are. If the bets are handled electronically and no staffers (dealers/croupiers) are needed, then it is probably considered a 'gaming device' just like a slot machine. Card Craps Introduction. According to the constitution of the state of California, dice alone may not determine the outcome in craps. So what the casinos usually do is use some combination of dice and playing cards, or playing cards alone, to simulate the roll of two dice. IM THE BEST AT THIS 👑 🐐.

I also have seen some things that make me think if you are betting $25 or more, you don't pay the ante.
I plan to make a trip to the Casino this weekend to check it out. It is only an hours drive from my house in North Dallas.
Based on what I have seen and read from them the $1 minimum bet is the standard bet, plus you pay the $1 Ante on every come out roll.

The minimum bet is $5.
There is an ante on every come out roll. If you don’t make a come out bet, then you pay the ante when your bet goes live, such as making a place bet with no pass bet.
Once you make the ante for that hand, no further ante is required.
For example, come out roll 7 winner, 2 craps, 11 yo, 3 craps, then point of 4. That will be $5 worth of antes. It’s $1 per come out ROLL, not shooter. Once the point is established, if you’ve already paid the ante, then no further ante is required to make odds or any center/prop bets.

If you don’t make a pass bet and only a place bet, then if a pass line point winner rolls, you have to pay another ante to make your place bet go live. They collect antes like mad.I saw lots of people betting $5 with a $1 ante.
Not true that at $25 min they waive the ante. They never waive the ante.
I only went to Winstar to see and make a TR. It’s not worth going to any of these OK casinos. Alcohol is NOT comped and overpriced. When I was there, a can of Coors light was $4.50, but it was happy hour, so $4.00.
The tables are packed. People just don’t care about the ante. I think they see it as the cost of entertainment.

Yeah I understood the Ante as being for each come out roll. It's what... 20% if you just play $5 on the PL? Not really worth it at all.
I'm not a big drinker or really a drinker at all so I could care less about the cost of alcohol, but you are gonna buy something to drink if you are sitting in the casino for several hours.

so,bet $100 (on the pass line, sure) and that makes the 'fee' 1%
does it not?
but when one makes 30 bets per hour per come out rolls
that is $30 per hour.
must be some super math challenged players playing Craps in that part of the country
but for a fix it is inexpensive
imo, that game and fee system will be lost very soon
as it was in SoCal

One of the pits was laughing and bragging about how they can charge anything they want, including charging for alcohol, and if people don’t like it, they can drive three hours to Shreveport. They’re quite confident and arrogant. And he was making this brag to the entire table.
It wouldn’t be that bad if people were betting $100. That would add about 1% to the HE. But most people are betting in the $5-$25 range. Lots of people betting $5 pass with $10 odds. And sometimes it takes two or three come it rolls to establish a point, so that’s more antes.
In defense of the OK casinos and their craps game, that’s still a lower overall loss per hour than slots.
According to my math, it costs about $30 an hour worth of antes to play the OK craps game.
People just don’t care.

Well it isn't going to go away anytime soon... this ante system is a State Legislative thing that says Tribal Casinos can't make money directly from the table games.
Every dollar you lose at a table game can not be taken by the casino as profit. That money goes to: The State of OK (10%), the cost of running the game and promotions for guests.
The Ante is the only way the casino can profit. Without it... the casino is a Non-Profit Organization... technically... AND that ain't gonna happen. ;)
At casino Morongo in CA, when I was there years ago, they had a promotion where if you got 3 BJs in a row, you win a free $500 that came from the player pool that was fed by the HE.
The OK casinos have no such pool. I spoke to a pit who confirmed no such player pool. His justification was that the money won from the players is used to also pay the winning bets. I asked him what about the money won from the HE? He just shrugged his shoulders and said it stays with the casino to pay the players if the casino has a bad month.
Technically they can say that the money won from the HE is used to pay for comps. So many loopholes they can use to justify the ‘promotions for players’.
I’m the end, I think they just keep it as profit and write it off by saying they paid it out through various comped promos.
