How Little Joe plays

On the come-out, Joe bets the Pass Line.

Once a point is set, he places every other point number: 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 and 10. That’s “across the board”, and it means any number but 7 pays him something.

Why people like it

It’s the most action at the table. Joe has a bet on 24 of the 36 ways the dice can land, and every roll except a 2, 3, 11, 12 or 7 pays him.

The catch

The 4 and 10 are the expensive Place bets at 6.67% each, and Joe has the most money out of anyone when the 7 shows. He’s named for Little Joe, the hard four, which he doesn’t even bet.

A sample hand

One shooter's hand at a $10 table with 3-4-5 odds. Every regular plays the same dice, so you can compare them. These are the bets Little Joe really makes: the table's own bot and payout rules played it. Play money.
