Three Dice Celo

Believe it or not, craps is not the only game in the casino. Savvy players have a back-up plan for when their craps game is off. If Heavy isn't winning at Craps you're likely to find him playing Baccarat, Blackjack, or even Roulette. If the table games aren't working out he may even take a cigar break in the high limit slot area for a little hit-and-run action. But just like craps - you have to plan your play and play your plan. If you have a question on slots, video poker, carnival games or any table games other than craps, this is the place to post. Let's hear about the games you play when you're not playing craps! What's your game? What's your strategy? How's that working out for you? Inquiring minds want to know!

Three Dice Celo

Just saw something about this game that Foxwoods is apparently introducing, and having some sort of upcoming tournament for. in June Seems rater complicated, but boiled down it feels like a game of Yahtzee on a craps-like layout.

It's a great game. If you win they send you home with a short, black rapper.

Actually, it's not that complicated. Remember, it's a Chinese game and the Chinese do not generally like games with complicated odds. They are high on even money bets. Bet $10 - Win $10. Celo (we'd probably call is "See Low") is somewhat reminiscent of High Low dice (bird cage game). In this case its all about rolling three dice and scoring the LOW numbers - 4-5-6. I'm assuming they're offering the "bankers" version of the game where the banker (house) rolls the dice first. A 4-5-6 is an automatic win. There are several combinations that are automatic losses. Then there are other combinations that become a "point" that the player then gets a chance to roll for a win. So bets are either automatic wins, automatic losses, or decided as a point. The house has about a 2.8% edge on "instant" decisions (win / loss) and about a 8.4% edge on point decisions. Hint. It is not a game for you and me. Like Pai Gow tiles, it's geared toward bringing in more Asian players.
