(g) Throw of the dice. Prior to the selection of the dice, the shooter shall make a pass or don't pass bet, after which the shooter shall throw the two selected dice so that the dice leave the shooter's hand simultaneously and in a manner calculated to cause the dice to strike the end of the table farthest from the shooter.

(h) Point throw; settlement of wagers.

(1) When the dice come to rest from a valid throw, the craps stickperson or the mini craps dealer or stickperson shall call out the sum of the numbers on the high or uppermost sides of the two dice. Only one face on each die shall be considered skyward.

(i) When either die does not, or both of the dice do not, land flat on the table (for example, one edge of a die is resting cocked on a stack of chips), the side directly opposite the side that is resting on the chips or other object shall be considered uppermost and skyward. If more than one side of a die is resting on a stack of chips or other object, the roll shall be void and the dice shall be re-rolled.

(ii) If there is a dispute as to which face is uppermost:

(a) in craps, the boxperson shall have discretion to determine which face is uppermost or shall void the throw and order the dice to be re-rolled; and

(b) in mini craps, the floorperson shall have discretion to determine which face is uppermost or shall void the throw and order the dice to be re-rolled.

(2) In craps, after calling the throw, the stickperson shall collect the dice and bring the dice to the center of the table between the stickperson and the boxperson. All wagers decided by such throw shall then be settled, following which the stickperson shall pass the dice to the shooter for the next throw. When collecting the dice and passing the dice to the shooter, the stickperson shall use a stick designed for such purpose.

(3) In mini craps, after calling the throw, the dealer or stickperson shall collect the dice and bring the dice to the center of the table. All wagers decided by such throw then shall be settled, following which the dealer or stickperson shall pass the dice to the shooter for the next throw. When collecting the dice and passing the dice to the shooter, the dealer or stickperson shall use a stick designed for such purpose.

(i) Continuation of shooter as such; selection of new shooter.

(1) It shall be the option of the shooter after any roll to either to pass the dice or remain the shooter, except:

(i) the shooter shall pass the dice upon throwing a loser 7; and

(ii) the craps boxperson or the mini craps dealer may order the shooter to pass the dice if the shooter unreasonably delays the game, repeatedly makes invalid rolls or violates the provisions of this section.
