Learn to Play Casino Craps – The Horn Bet and Whirl Bet
Sep 28th
Be smart, play smart, learn how to play casino craps the right way!
The Horn bet is a one-roll bet combining the numbers 2, 3, 11, and 12. Yes, it sounds like a C&E bet, but there’s a subtle difference. The Horn bet is actually four separate bets on the 2, 3, 11, and 12; therefore, your bet amount should be divisible by four. Like the 3-Way Craps bet, when you win a Horn bet, you win on the number that shows and lose the other three bets. If a 2 shows, the payoff is 30:1; and your 3, 11, and 12 lose. If a 12 shows, the payoff is 30:1; and your 2, 3, and 11 lose. If a 3 shows, the payoff is 15:1; and your 2, 11, and 12 lose. If an 11 slows, the payoff is 15:1; and your 2, 3, and 12 lose. The boxes for the 2, 3, 11, and 12 are clearly marked in the proposition area. Since the dealer controls the Horn bet (keep your hands off), he puts one fourth of your chips in each of the 2, 3, 11, and 12 boxes. (Some layouts include a box for the Horn bet.)
Be careful making Horn bets that don’t result in whole numbers after being split (i.e., when the dealer divides your chips into four equal amounts). If you win and the resulting payoff includes a fraction of a dollar, the casino can’t pay you that fraction, so they keep it for themselves. Many players are lazy and don’t like counting out four $1 chips, which are also hard to toss to the middle of table without making a mess. They’d rather toss a single $5 chip, and say something like, “Horn high twelve.” The dealer makes four non-fractional bets and puts the leftovers on the number called. For a $5 “Horn High 12,” the dealer changes the $5 chip into five $1 chips, and then puts $1 on each of the 2, 3, 11, and 12. He then adds the remaining $1 to the 12; thereby, making the 12 a $2 bet (i.e., “higher” than the other three bets).
The Whirl bet (sometimes called “World”) is a one-roll bet combining the Horn bet with the Any Seven. The Whirl bet is actually five separate bets on the 2, 3, 11, 12, and 7; therefore, your bet amount should be divisible by five. The Whirl bet wins if a 2, 3, 11, 12, or 7 shows, and loses if any other number shows. If a 2 shows, the payoff is 30:1; and your 3, 11, 12, and 7 lose. If a 12 shows, the payoff is 30:1; and your 2, 3, 11, and 7 lose. If a 3 shows, the payoff is 15:1; and your 2, 11, 12, and 7 lose. If an 11 shows, the payoff is 15:1; and your 2, 3, 12, and 7 lose. If a 7 shows, the payoff is 4:1; and your 2, 3, 11, and 12 lose.
Depending on the table layout, the Whirl bet may or may not have its own box in the center of the table. For layouts that don’t, the dealer typically divides your chips into five equal amounts and places them in the 2, 3, 11, 12, and Any Seven boxes. Be careful making Whirl bets that don’t result in whole numbers after dividing your total bet by 5. If you win and the resulting payoff includes a fraction of a dollar, the casino can’t pay you that fraction, so they keep it for themselves. Unless you’re good at math and can calculate in your head whether fractional bets will result in a whole-number payoff, it’s best to simply toss the dealer an amount divisible by five to avoid the potential for dealing with cents.

Noble Casino Blackjack Experience
Sep 25th
As a fanatic blackjack player I have been playing at different online casinos. Off course it is nice to see that some casinos try to represent the real life blackjack card game. However for me this is not the most important aspect. I am playing online to have the convenience of my living room and flexibility and speed which you can not find in brick and mortar casinos.
Next to some slots and craps I usually play blackjack only. A friend of mine directed me to Noble Casino. This is a fairly new casino, I think they became operational in 2009, but they are very professional. Because my friend referred me to Noble Casino we both received a special referral bonus I could use at the Blackjack tables right away.
My first blackjack games at Noble Casino did not go as planned, I was not adjusted to the Noble Casino interface and therefore clicked wrong a few times which cost me a couple of dollars. But within 10 minutes I got really used to Noble Casino and I started to appreciate to software very much. The interface is quick and clear and the important buttons are presented larger than less important buttons. As soon as I was really acquainted with the software I decided to try my luck and I moved to the higher limit blackjack tables.
From the lobby it was very easy to browse through the different limits and I soon arrived at the $10 blackjack tables. In the meantime my computer was giving me messages I needed to make a backup which I decided to postpone for 1 hour. Back in Noble Casino I had to make my first bets before the dealer could start dealing the cards. My first hand started out with an eight and a three, a perfect start! With the dealer also hitting an ace I was determined to hitting blackjack right away. With a nine as my third card I celebrated a bit inside but I was not safe yet. The dealer slowly turned over his card, it was a five, he therefore decided (automatically) to hit another card, this time it was an eight and dealer was bust! I made $10 profit in my first hand at these limits, and I started to like it!
I ended up playing for three straight hours at the blackjack tables of Noble Casino, it was really exciting and even though I had some ups and downs I ended up with a small profit (just over $500) which I kept in my account for the next day.
Playing blackjack at Noble Casino was really giving me the excitement a casino should provide. It was a clear and nicely designed interface which definitely met up to all my expectations. A few weeks later I suddenly received an email from Noble Casino giving me a reload bonus if I decided to come back to the blackjack tables, what a very nice way to treat your customers!
Looking back Noble Casino is definitely a great casino to play games and especially blackjack.
This article is written by Tom. Tom has been a casino blackjack player for over 10 years and enjoys the possibilities of online casino’s and especially casino bonuses. An estimated guess would bring his total bonus winnings at about $6,000.
