✨ Craps Rules and Procedures



26 JANUARY NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE 307

4.0 Dice; Retention and Selection

4.1 A set of five (5) dice shall be present at the craps table during play. Control of the dice shall be the responsibility of the dealers at the table, who shall retain all dice, except those in active play, in the dice bowl at the table.

4.2 After receiving the set of five dice at the table at the opening of the table for gaming or when new dice are brought to the table during the course of play, both the dealer and the game supervisor shall inspect the dice independently of each other. After the dice have been inspected they shall be placed in the dice bowl.

4.3 At the commencement of play, the stickperson or another dealer shall offer the set of dice to the player immediately to the left of the game supervisor at the table. If that player rejects the dice, they shall be offered to each of the other players in turn, clockwise around the table, until one of the players accepts them.

4.4 The first player to accept the dice when offered shall become the shooter, who shall select and retain two of the dice offered. The remaining dice of the set shall be returned to the dice bowl, which shall be placed immediately in front of the stickperson.

4.5 In the event of a die or dice going off the table, the following procedures shall be implemented:

(a) an immediate effort shall be made to retrieve the die or dice;

(b) the remaining dice shall be offered to the shooter for him/her to select a new die or dice. The shooter may select a new die or new dice, as the case may be, or request the original die/dice back again;

(c) if the missing die is or dice are found, the game supervisor shall carefully inspect the die or dice for damage, alteration, or irregularities before returning it/them to the shooter, if requested by the shooter, or otherwise placing it/them back in the dice bowl;

(d) if two dice are lost, a new set of dice shall be placed on the table and the remaining dice of the set previously in use shall be removed from the table. To avoid any delay in the game, the shooter at the time of the dice becoming lost shall be allowed to continue with the remaining dice of the original set until he/she rolls a 7 Out or until his/her wager wins and he/she declines further rolls of the dice;

(e) a Government inspector shall be notified prior to replacement of the dice.
