Casino Craps Optional Side Bet for High Payout Odds
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
There is a lack of casino craps bets or side bets that allow for higher payout odds, specifically up to 200 to 1 or 300 to 1, and that remain on the table until a shooter rolls a 7, covering all dice roll combinations for point numbers in any order, which are not addressed by existing casino craps bets or side bets.
Innovation Solution
An optional side bet is introduced in a casino craps game where players can wager on all dice roll combinations of at least two point numbers (4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10 being rolled in any order before a 7, with specific payout tables offering odds up to 200 to 1 or 300 to 1, and this bet remains active throughout multiple rounds and shooters until a 7 is rolled.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional casino craps bets are used, then the game integrity is maintained, but the payout odds are limited and cannot reach up to 200 to 1 or 300 to 1
Solution Approach 1:
The invention segments the betting options into two distinct parts: traditional craps bets that maintain game integrity, and a separate optional side bet that provides high payout odds. This segmentation allows both traditional bets and high-odds side bets to coexist without interfering with each other, resolving the contradiction between maintaining game integrity and providing high payout odds.
Solution Approach 2:
The high-payout side bet is extracted as a separate optional wager from the traditional craps game. This extracted side bet covers all dice roll combinations for point numbers and can remain on the table through multiple rounds, providing up to 300 to 1 payout odds without altering or adulterating the original craps game mechanics.
2Productivity
If high payout odds side bets are introduced, then winning opportunities and revenue are increased, but the complexity of the game increases
Solution Approach 1:
The complex high-payout side bet is extracted as a separate optional wager with its own distinct rules and payout structure. This allows the side bet to provide high revenue potential through up to 300 to 1 odds while maintaining clear separation from the traditional craps game, preventing excessive complexity from overwhelming the base game.
Solution Approach 2:
The side bet applies local quality by providing enhanced payout odds specifically for the optional side wager, while the traditional craps game maintains its standard payout structure. This localized enhancement allows high revenue potential in the side bet area without complicating the overall game experience for players who only want to play traditional craps.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the side bet remains on the table through multiple rounds, then the opportunity to win high payouts is increased, but the duration of the bet increases the house edge exposure
Solution Approach 1:
The side bet is structured as a preliminary wager that is placed before the craps game begins and remains active through multiple rounds until a 7 is rolled. This preliminary action allows players to lock in high-payout opportunities in advance, with the bet automatically resolving when the terminating condition (rolling a 7) occurs, balancing extended duration with controlled house edge exposure.

AI summary
An additional optional, side bet area is included on the standard casino craps table for additional betting during the regular play of craps. Players bet that every dice roll combination of 2 or more designated point numbers, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10, will be rolled on the dice before a 7 is rolled. Bets are placed in accordance with casino regulations before the come out roll. During the come out roll if a 7 rolls, all side bets are lost; if a 2, 3, 11, or 12, the bet is a push and can be removed or changed; if a 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10, the bet stays until a 7 is rolled to end the round and cannot be removed or changed. If every dice roll combination of 2 or more of the designated point numbers has been rolled when the round ends, bets are paid according to a side bet payout table. If they are not rolled, the bet loses.
