(b) In the event either or both of the dice do not land flat on the table (for example, one edge of the die is resting cocked on a stack of chips), the side directly opposite the side that is resting on the chips or other object shall be considered uppermost or skyward. If more than one side of a die is resting on a stack of chips or other object, the roll shall be void and the dice shall be rethrown.
(c) In the event of a dispute as to which face is uppermost:

(4) Once all numbers necessary for the wager have been thrown and marked on the layout with the marker buttons, the dealer will pay the winning wagers in accordance with § 623a.5(h) (relating to payout odds). For example, if a player placed an All Small Wager and an All Or Nothing At All Wager and all of the numbers 2 through 6 were thrown and marked before a 7 was thrown, the dealer shall pay the winning All Small Wager but leave the marker buttons on the layout until either all other numbers necessary for the All Or Nothing At All Wager are thrown or the shooter throws a 7.
(5) If a 7 is thrown at any time, including a 7 on the come out roll, the dealer shall collect all Bonus Craps wagers and remove all marker buttons from the Bonus Craps area of the layout.
(6) The numbers required to win are not required to be made in a specific order or combination.
