Difference Between Online and Land Based Craps

We cannot really avoid the differences between a land based casino game over an online casino game. Granting that the technicalities of every game remains the same, but there are still some detailed aspects that is in contrast compared to an online game. One of the examples is the game of Craps in which you will see differences.

Craps
offered at casino houses carries a different layout consisting of three sections compared to online craps. The two end sections covers the field, pass and come bets that are identical to the online version. The middle section presents the proposition bets. On the other hand in online games only the middle and one end section are on display.

Moreover casino houses has several employees that observe each table making it look a little bit intimidating for first time players.

These staffs include the stick man who stays at the center of the table and thru the use of the stick he collects and pass the dice as well as placing the proposition bets.. He was also the one responsible for tracing each players roll and announces the number thrown then give the dice back to the shooter.

Next is the box man who is place at the center across the stick man and the one responsible for supervising the payout of the game ensuring the accuracy and fairness. He was also the one responsible for the casino’s bankroll. Additionally, the box man facilitates any disputes that may arise.

Lastly the dealers who are place on each side of the box man. Each dealer handles the financial operations at their respective sides on the table. The responsibilities include, paying out and returning chips to the box man as well as collecting chips. Dealers also place special bets on the table for players. Additionally, dealers handle pucks that are used as a benchmark for a number. On the other hand, all positions in online craps are manned by the software.

Additionally, online craps offer a graphical representation of the dice based on a RNG or random number generator. Some even offer animations of a player throwing the dice while others when clicked the roll button will spin the dice . To ensure randomness at an online casino, the player must hit the dice off the back wall.

Differences might make a really long list between this two but the mechanics are still the same. So just enjoy each round and happy gaming!
