How to Play: Catcrawlers
Fill out with information and better gambler slang.
Catcrawlers is a relatively simple game. There are seven ranks in ascending order: wolf tail, buxom red, chubby nine, stone roller, hungry gutter, arrow in the neck, and plank.
The player pays 100 Cats upfront while the dealer will randomly choose from between buxom red and arrow in the neck. He will reveal what he got and ask the player to Fish or Roll Back, and will then roll a second time.
Choosing to Fish will cause the player to win if the second roll is ranked to the right of the first roll. Choosing Roll Back will cause the opposite. The player will have then licked it and will receive 200 Cats. Losing will be called a dryout.
For example, if the dealer rolls a chubby nine and the player Fishes, then the dealer rolls an arrow in the neck, the player will have licked it, and they receive 200 Cats. If the player instead played a Roll Back then it will be a dryout and the player loses.
If the first roll is buxom red, choosing Roll Back and getting wolf tail will cause the player to receive the jackpot of 600 Cats. The same happens if the first roll is arrow in the neck and the player chooses Fish with the second roll being plank.
The most optimum strategy would be to Fish for buxom red and chubby nine, and to Roll Back for hungry gutter and arrow in the neck. For stone roller, the odds are equal for both Fish and Roll Back. The chance of getting a jackpot (see above) is only 16.78%, and it is far more reliable to bet safely rather than go for a jackpot.
Trivia
- The Casino Dealer actually does have vendor lists, suggesting that they were intended to function like regular barmen.
