To hit "The Fire," the shooter must make all six unique point numbers:
A Fire Bet is a bonus wager that the shooter will make at least 4 unique point numbers (4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10) before sevening out. The ultimate win is making all 6 points ("firing"), which typically pays 1000:1. The bet must be placed before the shooter's come-out roll.
The probability of making 4+ unique points (minimum payout) is about 1.36%. Making 5+ points is 0.30%, and hitting all 6 points ("the Fire") is approximately 0.016% or 1 in 6,156. The average shooter makes about 0.68 unique points per turn.
Fire Bets have a high house edge, typically ranging from 20-25% depending on the pay table. This makes it one of the worst bets in the casino mathematically. However, the potential for large payouts (up to 1000:1) attracts many players.
No, the Fire Bet has one of the highest house edges in the casino (20%+). It should be considered entertainment only, similar to a lottery ticket. The expected loss is about 20 cents per dollar bet. Serious players avoid this bet entirely.
