3.3 All wagers shall be made by placing chips, with the smaller denomination chips on top, on the appropriate wager area of the craps layout.

3.5 A wager may be removed or reduced at any time prior to a roll that decides the outcome of the wager, except that no Pass Bet or Come Bet shall be removed or reduced after a come out point or come point, as the case may be, has been established with respect to that wager.

3.6 A Don’t Pass Bet may be removed or reduced at any time but may not be replaced or increased after such removal or reduction until a new come out roll.

3.7 A Don’t Come Bet may be removed or reduced at any time but may only be replaced or increased by making a wager on the Don’t Come area and taking the next roll of the dice.

3.8 All Place Bets to Win, Buy Bets, Odds on the Come Bets and Hardways wagers:

(a) shall be inactive on any come out roll unless called “on” by the player and confirmed by a dealer or game supervisor through the placement of an “on” marker on top of the player’s wager, provided however that one wager marked with an “on” marker shall indicate that all similar wagers by that player are “on” unless otherwise specified by the player;

(b) may be called “off” or “on” at any time.

3.9 Each player shall be responsible for the correct positioning of his/her wager(s) on the craps layout regardless whether or not he/she is assisted by the dealer.
