The fire bet isn’t actually a standard bet. In fact, not all casinos allow this bet on their tables. For the casinos that do, this is actually a type of side bet that is usually found on table games. Also, you will typically find tables that support this bet at the bigger casinos in Vegas or Atlantic City, but even some of the smaller ones will allow it.

Basically, this is a huge multi-roll bet. You want the shooter to throw point numbers on the come out roll and then hit those same point numbers again to end the round. There are only six available point numbers: 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 and 10. In order to win the jackpot or the entire fire bet, a shooter must throw all six individual point numbers on the come out roll and then “make” those points. Most importantly, the shooter must not roll a 7 or else the round ends and the whole cycle has to start over again.

Another thing to remember is if you establish “9” as the point and throw again before a seven, that would count as completing 1 of 6 points. After the “9” has been done, the dealer will place a fire marker on that number. If the shooter throws another 9 and clears the point a number of additional times, it still only counts as marking 1 of the 6 numbers. You still have to clear 4, 5, 6, 8 and 10 as well, all without rolling a 7

The fire bet does not pay out for the first three points that are completed, but the payout odds are as follows:

4 points pays out 24:1

5 points pays out 249:1

6 points pays out 999:1

As you can see, players can win $1000 for every $1 bet. For example, if someone placed a $100 fire bet, they could win $100,000! Of course only the big casinos like those in Vegas would allow the betting limit for this side bet to be this high.
