I have personally hit the fire bet for 4 and 5 numbers at least a half dozen times. I do have friends that have claimed to have hit the fire for six. I’ve been involved in rolls that threw for all six numbers, however the table was not a fire bet table. The fire does hit, and when it does you definately want to be on it. I suggest the same, that is play the fire for a dollar every shooter. It isn’t a huge chunk of change and it keeps the game that more interesting for you. I usually only play a dollar whether or not i’m in vegas or at the local boat. By only betting a dollar, not only does it keep your game that much more fun, but you will probably make that money back once you do hit it. I’ve found most vegas casinos allow a maximum of ten dollar fire bets. My local casinos allow five dollars maximum. Once you start betting five or ten, you may never recover those losses. Good Luck
