Some folks are unaware that Colorado also has casino gambling. Back in the 90's three old mining towns in the mountains were allowed to offer limited stakes gambling(slots, BJ,5$max) in order to stave off extinction. In July of 2009, rules were liberalized to include craps, roulette, and a 100$ max bet limit. Here is a brief review of Craps in Cripple Creek.
Cripple Creek is about an hour west of Colorado Springs, on the backside of Pikes Peak. Shuttle Buses run hourly between the two towns.Some the scenery on the way is spectacular. Stepping off the bus on Bennet Ave in CC is like a time warp. All the buildings date to the heydays of the 1890's gold rush when Cripple Creek was Colorado's second largest city. Even the new properties, the Double Eagle Hotel and the Wildwood Casino were built to retain the 1890s look. The parking garage at the Wildwood resembles an ore crushing mill. Pretty clever!
Craps varies wildly from place to place in town. I liked the vibe at the Brass Ass Casino; only 3/4/5 odds but a very competent crew featuring the tallest stickman I've ever seen(at least 6ft10' with a voice like a foghorn). Brick interior walls, raw wood floors, good lighting, quick cocktail service and actual outside windows, you can see the snow falling on Bennet Ave!
One dollar minimums means they keep 50&25 cent chips on hand for the smaller bettors. Downtown odds on the field.
The crew at Womack's Gambling Hall was awful, stay away.
The Wildwood is a new building with 2 tables and decent dealers. 10x odds, downtown odds in the field, 5$ minimum. Enclosed parking means you don't freeze before getting to the tables. Two decent restaurants at the Wildwood, but nobody goes to Cripple Creek for a meal.
With 100$ limits on any one bet, there's plenty of leeway for crapsshooters, so if the Jones gets too bad it's an easy trip into the hills. Other offerings are slots, VP, Poker and roulette.
The other mountain towns, Blackhawk and Central City, are an hour from Denver on I-70. Ameristar just opened a BIG new place in Blackhawk.

The free odds aren't considered part of the max bet, no?

From what I understand It sounds like the max bet is the max pass line, field, etc with odds on top.

I've been to Blackhawk. $100 is the max single bet, and that includes odds bets. So you can make a $100 pass line bet, but the odds are limited to $100.

So, ideally it would be best to play $20/$100 odds on the 6 or 8 then, or lay $120 to win $100 on a don't.

Ameristar offered 3x-4x-5x odds last time I was there, (September 2009) while Isle of Capri offered 10x odds. I was there 4th of July weekend in 2009. The new rules were effective July 2, 2009. Ameristar posted 3-4-5 odds on the table, but players (including myself) were putting much more behind their flat bets and the crew paid them. Most of the dealers had never dealt craps before, although each crew typically had one person of the 4 who had. They imported experienced dealers from other locations just for the opening weekend. But for the most part it was pretty disorganized and there were a lot of bets paid wrong.

As I said , crew competence can vary wildly from place to place. I watched the crew at the Brass Ass handle PL, DP, place and a boatload of different props very smoothly. I'd venture to say that after being open for 5 or 6 months, the Ameristar operation has tightened up their act. I didn't mention the Gold Creek casino in my original post. They offer 100x odds and a good crew.

Do they offer $1 Pass line bets? Wouldn't that be the only way 100x would mean anything?

Yes, the table minmum at the Gold Creek is one dollar.

You can't lay $120. What's hard about this? ANY ONE BET = MAX $100.
Yeah, I made a mistake once. I thought I was wrong, when I actually wasn't. -Indignant

Prior to Amendment 50, craps was not allowed at Colorado casinos. But on Nov. 4, 2008, Colorado voters passed sweeping changes to the “limited gaming act” that not only raised the maximum betting limits on a given hand from $5 to $100, but allowed for additional games including craps.

The maximum bet playing “Craps” in Colorado (on a single bet) is $100.

You’ll know a craps table when you see it. It is the biggest table in the casino table games section. When the dice are hot, it’s the loudest table in the casino; When the dice are cold, it’s the loneliest. Though the table looks like it would take a masters degree to play, developing a basic understanding of craps is not difficult and can be done in a short amount of time. Here is a brief guide to help you learn how to start that process.

Craps Game

Craps is nothing more than a dice game. One player, the shooter, rolls the dice and everyone else bets on the outcome of the roll. No one is in competition with each other and everyone roots for the shooter, which is why a craps table with a hot shooter can be so rowdy. The game starts with each player placing a bet, and you can do so up until the player shoots and the dealers yell “No more bets!” This is called a “come out” roll. After which three things can happen depending on the roll.

Craps Rules

If the shooter rolls a:

  • 2, 3 or 12 – Craps (Pass line bets lose – Don’t Pass bets win)
  • 7 or 11 – “Natural” (Pass line bets win – Don’t Pass bets lose)
  • Any other number – Establishes a point

On the come out roll, a bettor must place the table minimum bet at either the “pass line,” or the “no pass line.” The dice are rotated around the table after each run, giving anyone who wants a chance to shoot.

When the point is established, the shooter keeps rolling until they either roll the point number again, or a seven. A seven ends the roll and causes nearly any bet on the layout to lose. Craps tends to be superstitious game, so players generally will avoid even saying the word “seven” out loud at the table.

There are approximately 40 types of craps bets that can be made during a roll. This is why there are always four casino dealers watching a craps table. They are the “boxman” (watches the chips), the “stickman” (watches the dice), and two other dealers (keeping track of players’ bets).

The easiest way to get into a game of craps is to wait until the come out roll and place a bet on the pass line. This means you are wagering that the shooter will:

1) Roll a 7 or 11 on the first roll, or;
2) Roll the established point before they roll another 7.

You will also want to “take odds” on the come bet. The odds amount varies from casino to casino and usually is up to 5 to 10 times the amount of your bet. To take odds (which is, mathematically, the best bet a player can make), place the your bet directly behind your pass line chips. Then sit back and get caught up in the excitement.

Cripple Creek Casinos Craps

There are a lot of different ways a craps game can play out depending how the dice fall. You can bet pass or no pass, single numbers, come and don’t come bets and proposition bets.

Cripple Creek Craps

As you can see craps is a very simple game that seems intimidating at a glance. However, if you are the kind of player that likes to take a chance or feeds off of the energy of other players, then this might be a great place to start. When you are ready, wait for come out roll and go for it. Just make sure you ask the dealer for the right time at which to enter the game.
