🎲 Craps Player Union Local 2.33

 

"Dignity. Fairness. Back Support."

Fellow dice warriors, it's time to stand up — or at least sit down comfortably.
Craps Player Union Local 2.33 is officially organizing to demand better playing conditions at tables across the country. For too long, we’ve endured ergonomic torture, inconsistent rules, social disrespect, and the unchecked chaos of dice-setters preparing like they’re launching a space shuttle.

We love this game. But even love has its limits.

🪑 We Demand Chairs That Don’t Actively Harm Our Spine

Let’s start with the basics: chairs. Most craps tables don’t have any. If they do, it’s usually something resembling a padded broomstick balanced on a rusted hinge. We’re not asking for massage recliners (yet)—we’re asking for simple back support. Craps sessions can run two, three, four hours. Our lower backs should not have to pay the price for a hot shooter.

🎯 Enforce Table Etiquette: Point-Off Means Pause

There’s an unspoken rule among seasoned players: you buy in or color up when the point is off. Not during a roll. Not while the shooter is locked in. And definitely not while fumbling with singles and trying to explain to the dealer that you “just want a couple of red chips to try it out.” Local 2.33 demands that this basic courtesy be enforced like a 7-out. Respect the flow of the game. Point off = safe zone. Point on = eyes forward, money down, zip it.

🎲 3 Dice Off the Table = Time to Retire the Shooter

We propose a “Three-Strikes Dice Rule.” If you throw the dice off the table once, fine. Twice? Hmm. Three times? You’re done. No warning, no debate. Your dice privileges are revoked. Let’s get someone else up there who doesn’t treat the table like a grenade range.

⏱ Dice Setters Get 10 Seconds. No More.

Dice setting is a craft, we get it. But this isn’t an interpretive art piece. You don’t need to flip the dice eight times, align the pips with magnetic north, exhale meaningfully, and reset your posture like you're about to perform a sacred rite. You have 10 seconds. Then you roll. No exceptions. Local 2.33 is not anti-dice-setter—we are pro-efficiency.

😑 Respect All Bets: Don’t Shame the Dark Side

Playing the Don’t Pass Line is not a moral failing. It’s a statistically sound strategy. Yet time and time again, Don’t players are met with side-eyes, muttered curses, or the classic exaggerated sigh when they win. Newsflash: it’s part of the game. If you can’t handle someone betting against the shooter, you probably shouldn’t be at a craps table. We demand a judgment-free felt. That includes no face-making, no “wow”s, and no sarcastic claps.

📣 Keep Your Celebrations Proportional

Nothing stings like losing $100 on a Don’t bet and immediately hearing a player next to you scream with joy over a $5 Come Line win. Look, we’re happy for you, but have some awareness. We’re not saying you can’t celebrate—we’re just asking that you not look like you hit a jackpot when someone next to you is quietly bleeding chips. Local 2.33 proposes a Decibel Cap on Come Line Celebrations: anything above “mild fist pump” is discouraged if the table is otherwise in mourning.

• Refuse to celebrate a $5 win like it’s a Vegas miracle.
• Sit down in protest until back support is provided (or the pit boss asks you to leave).

🎲 One table, one voice, one proper throw time.
