Reason #4 why the Wizard likes Bovada:

One-Stop Shopping

Bovada offers the triple crown of gambling: casino, poker, and sports. Many other casinos have tacked on poker as an afterthought, and many poker rooms have tacked on a casino as an afterthought, and the lack of attention shows, sometimes painfully. And very few of these sites let you make sports wagers.

But Bovada doesn’t just offer all three, they do each one well, and everything’s integrated. It’s easy to play all three off one deposit, off just one account.

Another nice thing about Bovada is that you don’t need a separate account to play casino games with fake money. In fact you do not even need an account for that at all, you can just click over there and play. Finally, Bovada usernames are only six or seven characters long making them possible to remember. By contrast some competitors’ usernames are extremely long and cumbersome.

Die Rich

Last Update: Jun 06, 2006

Die Rich is a one-die version of craps. It was offered for a short time at the Luxor in 2006.

Rules

  1. The player makes a pass bet.
  2. A player shall roll a single ordinary die. This shall be referred to as the "come out roll."
  3. If the come out roll is a six the pass line bet shall pay 1 to 1. If the come out roll is a one the pass line bet shall lose. Any other roll shall be defined as the "point."
  4. If the player rolled a 2 to 5 on the come out roll then he shall roll again.
  5. If the second roll is the point as established on the first roll then the player shall win. The pass bet shall pay according to the posted odds. If the second roll is a one then the pass bet shall lose.
  6. The player shall have three opportunities to roll the point. If the player rolls the point the pass bet shall win according to the number of rolls and the pay table below. If the player rolls a one the pass bet shall lose.
  7. If the player goes four rolls (including the come out roll) without resolving the bet then the bet shall lose.
  8. In addition there are six proposition bets on the outcome of the next roll, numbered one to six. If the next roll results in the bet made the proposition bet shall pay 4 to 1.
