23 WGM #61 2018/08 wgm8.com • The banker rolls three dice in a cup to determine who receives the first set of four tiles using the following procedure: –– The banker is considered number 1, the spot on his right number 2, on his right number 3 and so on around and around the table all the way to number 18 (the house dealer is considered one of the spots). Therefore the banker is considered number 1, number 9 and number 17. The spot four spots on the banker’s right is considered number 5 and number 13. –– All eight spots are numbered (the seven spots for players plus the spot for the house dealer), even if there are no players playing those spots. –– The three dice are rolled and of course just as in the three-dice game of sic-bo, the total of the three dice must be between 3 and 18 inclusive. –– The spot with the number corresponding to the total of the three dice receives the first stack of four tiles (that is the stack to the house dealer’s extreme right), then the next spot to the right receives the next stack, and so on around the table. Even if a spot has no players, it still receives tiles, until all players have tiles. • 很多娱乐场都有自己的洗牌方式。有些是规定程 式，有些是荷官的个人风格，但目的都是达到随 机派牌。 – – 洗玩32张牌后，荷官将每四张叠成一墩，共 八墩，依次从其右边向左边排列，最右边为 第一墩，最左边为最后一墩。 – – 庄家通过摇骰来决定谁收到第一套牌（四 张），具体操作如下： – – 庄家被定为1号位置，其右边的位置是2号， 再向右是3号，以此绕桌排序，直至排到第18 号（荷官也算一个位置）。因此庄家为第1、 9和17号。庄家右边第四个位置为第5和13号。 – – 所有八个位置（七个玩家位置和一个荷官位 置）都会编上序号，即便有些位置并没有玩 家参与。 – – 摇骰与使用三个骰子的骰宝游戏一样，三 个骰子的总点数一定在3和18之间（含3和 18）。 – – 三个骰子总点数对应位置上的玩家会拿到第 一套牌（也就是荷官最右边一墩），下个位 置上的玩家拿到下一墩，以此类推。即便某 位置上没有玩家，仍会收到派牌，直到所有 玩家都拿到牌。 – – 一旦所有玩家拿到牌，空位上派发的牌会被 荷官收走。 • 收到派牌后，你自行决定如何配牌（以后会详细 讨论）。每人配好牌后，荷官及所有玩家都要亮 牌。 • 然后玩家牌与庄家牌比胜负。赢家获赔率1/1的彩 金，扣除5％的佣金，与百家乐一样。因此，如果 赢了$100的投注，会得到$95的回报；如果输了， 你输掉所有投注；如果平局，你的投注退回，无 需支付佣金。 • 有些娱乐场允许玩家在一手牌开始前押上佣金， 作为这把投注的一部分。最好用例子来说明。假 设你投注$100，并拿出$5佣金，作为投注的一部 分。如果输了，你实际输掉$105，但赢了的话， 你收回$100，$5算作佣金。这实际上将1/20的佣 金（5％）减少至1/21（约为投注的4.8%），不过 这种做法的确将你的投注额提高了5％。 –– Once all players have tiles, the tiles dealt to the empty spots (that is, the spots with no players) are retrieved by the dealer and play no further part in the hand. • Once the tiles are dealt, you decide how to “set” your tiles (which we will discuss in detail later). After everyone has set their tiles both the house dealer and the players reveal their tiles. • The player’s tiles are then compared to the banker’s. Each player who wins receives even money less 5 percent commission, just like baccarat. So, if you win a $100 bet you will be paid $95 in winnings. If you lose, you lose your entire wager. If you tie or “push”, your wager is returned and no commission is paid. • Some casinos will allow players to put their commission up before the hand, as part of the hand. This is best illustrated by an example. Imagine you bet $100 and put $5 commission up as part of the hand. If you lose, you actually lose the entire $105. But if you win, you’re paid $100, with the $5 taken as commission. This effectively reduces the commission from 1/20th of your bet (5 percent of your bet) to 1/21st of your bet (about 4.8 percent of your bet), but does increase your betting turnover by 5 percent.
