Ultimate Texas Holdem Holland Casino

Introduction
I noticed Diceball at the Holland Casino in Amsterdam on July 19, 2017. It was closed at the time but a friendly dealer filled me in on the rules. Briefly, the game is loosely based on craps but with a baseball theme. At the Holland casino it was played in a small tub.
Rules
- The game uses two ordinary dice.
- The same player shall roll the dice until he rolls a seven, which causes every bet to lose, except the Seven Out. The turn to shoot the dice shall rotate around the table.
- For purposes of the two main bets, it takes four successful rolls of the dice to achieve a 'run.' A successful roll is one that is not a total of seven.
- The Run Line bet may be made only before a new shooter throws the dice the first time. It pays even money for at least one run.
- The Grand Slam bet may also be made only before a new shooter throws the dice the first time. It pays 1 to 1 for three runs, 5 to 1 for four runs, 15 to 1 for five runs, and 35 to 1 for six or more runs.
- The Seven Out bet pays 4 to 1 if the next roll is a total of seven, otherwise it loses.
- There are six different 'Pass Line' bets, which work like place bets in craps. Each wins if the specified total(s) are rolled before a seven. Following is a list of the six available Seven Out bets and what they pay:
- Total of 2 or 5 — Pays 1 to 1
- Total of 3 or 4 — Pays 1 to 1
- Total of 6 — Pays 1 to 1
- Total of 8 — Pays 1 to 1
- Total of 10 or 11 — Pays 1 to 1
- Total of 9 or 12 — Pays 1 to 1
- There are six different 'Hard Line' bets, which work like place bets in craps. Each wins if the total is rolled the 'hard way,' meaning the two dice land on the same number, before a total of seven. It should be noted that, unlike hard way bets in craps, they do not lose, if the desired total is rolled the easy way.
- Total of 2 — Pays 5 to 1
- Hard 4 (2 & 2) — Pays 5 to 1
- Hard 6 (3 & 3) — Pays 5 to 1
- Hard 8 (4 & 4) — Pays 5 to 1
- Hard 10 (5 & 5) — Pays 5 to 1
- Total of 12 — Pays 5 to 1

Ultimate Texas Hold’em features head-to-head play against the player/dealer and optional bonus bets.
HOW TO PLAY
The player/dealer position will be selected as in other games approved by the Bureau of Gambling Control; and the player/dealer will only “bank” the hand (including bonus bets) for two (2) consecutive times before it is offered in a clockwise fashion around the gaming table.
Players and the player/dealer each receive two cards. They combine them with five community cards to make their best five-card hand. Standard poker rankings are used to determine who wins.
Ultimate Texas Hold’em lets players bet aggressively. The earlier they bet, the more they can risk and win, If players bet pre-flop, they may risk 3x or 4x their ante. If they bet on the flop, they may bet 2x their ante. If they wait until the river, when all community cards are out, they may only bet 1x their ante.
This game also features optional bonus bets, the Trips bonus and Bad Beat bonus. Players win the Trips bonus if their final five-card hand is three of a kind or higher and bad beat bonus if either the player or player/dealer is beaten by three of a kind or better.
Wagers placed on the Blind, Trips, and Bad Beat Bonus hands are paid according to the table below:
