Question: Coach, can the management in the pit
make a player pass the dice in the middle of his hand?
Last week I was asked this question by J. R., a player
who lives in the South and plays at the Horseshoe in
Louisiana.
Apparently he had been warned several times about
hitting the back wall. Finally, in the middle of his
roll, the management took the dice from him and passed
them to the person next to him at the table. The point
established by J. R. was still live and the new shooter
was now stuck with that same point.
This is where it gets interesting. If the new shooter
sevens out before making that point, he still is able to
keep the dice to establish his own come-out point.
The casinos can in-fact call for a change in shooters
mid hand. The players must be aware of any changes or
disruptions in the flow of the game, and make whatever
adjustments are necessary to their own game.
In this instance, everything happened so fast that no
one at the table knew the dice had been passed to a new
shooter, or that the previous point was still in play.
As you can already guess, the very next roll was a 7 out
- line away.
Although some casinos are more liberal than others, the
rule is that you much hit the back wall each and every
time.
If you have been warned and you continue to miss the
wall, the dice will most likely be taken away from you.
Even thought you are not the shooter, you need to pay
attention to what is going on in the game.
Had I been at the table when this happened, I would have
called all of my bets OFF or just taken all bets down.
Then I would have waited to see what changes had taken
place with the change in shooters.
This is a case of a hard lesson learned. You can't get
mad at the casino, as they will win the argument every
time.
Pay attention, hit the back wall, and let me know if you
have seen this happen where you were playing.
Good rolling in the pits.

| Another 20 minute
roll! I think between that little modification and
adopting your betting tactics, that this will work
well in the long run. Thanks again!
