All right, party people! Grab a cookie, have a seat, and let’s talk about the bonus.
If you’ve watched Big G on YouTube, you already know what time it is. You walk up to the bubble craps machine or the live table, drop your cash in, and your eyes immediately drift up top. Somebody asks, “Why is he betting so heavy on the bonus?”
Because when that machine gets hot than a mother freaker, that bonus will change your whole day!
Today, we’re breaking down the holy grail of craps bonus bets: The All Small, All Tall, and Make ’Em All (the ATS). We’re going five bucks on each. That’s $15 across the board.
Let’s get into it!
What Are the Bets and What Numbers Do We Need?
When you toss $15 out there, you’re dividing it into three separate bets: $5 on the Small, $5 on the Tall, and $5 on the All.
Here is what you’re hunting for:
- The All Small ($5 Bet): You need the dice to roll 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 before the big red devil shows up. Order doesn’t matter. You can roll five fives in a row—we’ll take it—but until you check off that 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, the job ain’t finished.
- The All Tall ($5 Bet): Same thing, but on the high side. You gotta hit 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 before a seven wipes you out. Six and eight are running mates, so you know we’re hunting that eight early!
- The Make ’Em All ($5 Bet): This is the monster roll. You have to hit every single number on the board—2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12—all in one single shooter’s turn before a seven.
Notice who isn’t on that list? The seven. The seven is not your friend here, y’all.
What Does the Seven Do? (The Party Killer)
Look, ain’t a damn thing you can do when the seven shows up early except tuck your tail or reload.
If the shooter rolls a 7 before you finish a bonus, it kills the entire bet.
Everything resets. If you had four out of five numbers checked off and literally all you needed was a 4 to cash the Small, and boom—seven out—it wipes the whole board clean. Your chips are gone.
Now, there is one big exception: the Come-Out roll. On most live tables and machines, the bonus bets stay active and cannot be turned off. If a 7 rolls on the come-out, your bonus loses. Seven kills the bonus.
Can One Single Roll Pay Multiple Bonuses?
Hell yeah it can! That’s where the real magic happens, baby.
Picture this: You already checked off the 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 early in the roll. Boom! The machine pays you out on the All Small right then and there. That money is yours.
Now the shooter keeps the dice moving. They knock out the 8, 9, 10, and 11. All you need up top is the 12 for the Tall.
The shooter lets ’em fly… Midnight!
On that single roll of 12, two incredible things just happened at the exact same second:
- You completed the All Tall.
- You completed the Make ’Em All!
Both bets cash out instantly on that exact same toss. That’s what we call a certified god run!
The Payouts: Turning $15 Into a Bag
Payouts are different depending on the casino and whether you’re playing on a live felt or a machine.
For this breakdown, we’re using 34-to-1 on the Small/Tall and 175-to-1 on the Make ’Em All (often displayed on digital machines as “35 for 1” and “176 for 1”).
Here is exactly how the math breaks down on your $5 chips, keeping your actual winnings crystal-clear from your returned stake:
1. Hitting the All Small ($5 Bet at 34-to-1)
- Winnings (Pure Profit): $170
- Returned Original Stake: $5
- Total Collected: $175
2. Hitting the All Tall ($5 Bet at 34-to-1)
- Winnings (Pure Profit): $170
- Returned Original Stake: $5
- Total Collected: $175
3. Hitting the Make ’Em All ($5 Bet at 175-to-1)
- Winnings (Pure Profit): $875
- Returned Original Stake: $5
- Total Collected: $880
What Happens When You Hit the Whole Board?
If you get that legendary monster roll where the shooter doesn’t touch a seven and knocks down all ten numbers, you hit all three bets on that single run:
- All Small Profit: $170
- All Tall Profit: $170
- Make ’Em All Profit: $875
- Total Original Stakes Returned ($5 x 3): $15
- Total Cash Handed Back to You: $1,230 ($1,215 pure profit!)
Off a measly fifteen-dollar investment, y’all! That is over a thousand-dollar payday in your rack!
Big G’s Final Word on the Bonus
Is it a sucker’s bet mathematically? The casino math guys will tell you yes.
Do we care when that machine is throwing pairs and kissing every corner of the board? Not at all!
You don’t have to bet it every single hand—sometimes you tuck your tail and press your place bets instead. But when you feel that energy in the air and you put that $15 out there, nothing gets the heart pumping quite like sweating that final number.
Hit repeat, watch those dice roll, and let’s get this money, y’all!
