First, the limit for any individual bet is four dollars: that caps a place bet at four bucks; for line bets such as pass and come, they allow an additional odds bet of up to four dollars, so you can have eight bucks in action on the number.
All the payoffs are the same except on place bets and odds bets; the exact numbers escape me, but before play I read a sheet of paper near the the entrance that explained specifically what the payoff reductions were, and they are obvious and pretty substantial.
It seemed to always involve quarter chips in the payoff, e.g $4.75 instead of an even number such as $6.00.
Don't hold me to it, but it was something like if you bet four dollars to place the six, they pay a tiny bit over even money, with quarters used for the breakage.
Line bets, IIRC, still pay even money, but the odds are not paid at true odds, there is a reduction.
Wish I'd kept the sheet explaining the payoffs, I could lay it all out.
The dealer said they give one third to "charity," and that the charity changes every ten days.
The casino was not fancy, but it is literally the only game in town, with only one dealer handling all the action (box, stick, dealer).
At least he wore white shirt and black slacks: I'd give these guys an "A" for effort.
I would suggest checking it out, provided you understand and accept the changed rules.
I found it OK for brief play while vacationing, but would never play there regularly: the house advantage is simply too high under their rules.
Heck, it's tough enough to win under "normal" conditions in a "real" casino.
