Reason #5 why the Wizard likes Bovada: Intelligent Bonuses Many online casinos offer huge signup bonuses, but there’s a catch. Buried in the fine print is that play on the most popular games doesn’t count towards earning the bonus. It’s common for play on blackjack, baccarat, roulette, craps, and video poker to be excluded. In many cases, only slots count. And that’s if you can even find the terms and conditions. Many casinos put their 100% bonus in big flaming letters but make you hunt all over their site to find the rules. Bovada allows play on all games to count towards the wagering requirement. It’s that simple. Just no opposite betting. All casinos ought to be as easy as Bovada about this. The bonus offer itself is simple too: on your first deposit, they’ll give you an extra 10%. If you deposit $100, you’ll wind up with $110 in chips or tokens. Finally, in the unlikely event that Bovada feels you’ve been abusing their bonuses they won’t seize your winnings like most other casinos will. In the worst case scenario they will politely tell you that they will not be offering you any future bonuses, but you are welcome to keep playing and keep everything you have made already. |
RicochetLast Update: Sep 18, 2006 IntroductionRicochet is a dice game formerly found at the Fiesta Henderson. I hear it was removed in July 2006. The game uses three dice and is played on a small table with chairs. Many bets are available, some that resolve in one roll, and other may take several. I have had to make up some terminology to explain this game, which may not be consistent with what the owners intended. RulesAs in craps players take turns shooting the dice. Unlike craps there is no point or come out roll. The shooter will roll until he rolls any of the following combinations: 111, 666, 126, 136, 146, or 156. In other words a (1) one, six, and any other different number; or (2) three ones or three sixes. Most of the betting layout is all 30 cominations of a pair and a singleton. Players may bet that any chosen combination will be rolled before the player craps out (for lack of a better term) by throwing one of turn ending combinations listed above. As in roulette the player may straddle two or four bets as well. There are also single roll bets. The following list explains all the available bets. Place BetsThe following bets win if the chosen bet wins before a player craps out (throws a roll ending combination).
Single Roll BetsThe following bets are always resolved in one roll.
Finally is the field bet. It pays based on one roll as follows.
AnalysisThe following table shows the probability of winning and house edge for all bets except the field. As in craps, the house edge on place bets is defined as the expected loss per bet resolved.
The next table shows the possible outcomes of the field bet. The lower right cell shows a house edge of 2.78%.
