How to Play Craps

The Wagerer should just bet on certain fields and roll the dice to succeed. The Gambler who is rolling is called the shooter. The result of each roll shows what bets win or lose on the table. The game consists of rounds. The shooter rolls the dice one or several times in each round. The purpose of the shooter is to pass the round. There are two kinds or rolls that enable to pass or not to pass the round:

The come out roll

The thrower's initial roll in the outset of the round is called the Come Out roll. An another indicator of a roll's being initial is a special black disc with "OFF" text.

Depending on the first roll result, the result of the round are determined:

• If the shooter got 7 or 11 in total (the numbers are called natural) in this roll, it means the Gambler passed. respective bets are paid out and the round is over.
• If the shooter got 2 in total (snake eyes), 3 (cross eyes), or 12 (box cars) in this roll, the Better did not pass (the roll is called "crapping out"). respective bets are paid out and the round is over.
• If the Gambler did not get natural or craps, the Better got the "point number". In this case the disc is turned upside down to show "ON" and placed opposite the point number in the table, so that the Player could be sure what the point number is. Then the plan of the thrower is to get the point number in total before 7 in total comes out. The thrower makes subsequent rolls for it.

Subsequent Rolls

If the thrower does not get natural or craps in the initial roll, then the he has to roll the point number once again to be able to pass. If 7 comes out first, the Player did not pass.

The following rules are applied for each next roll:

• If the shooter got the point number, he passed. various wagers are paid out and the round is over.
• If the shooter got 7 ("seven out"), he did not pass. several wagers are paid out and the round is over.
• If the shooter got other numbers, then different bets are paid out and the shooter rolls on, trying to get the point number.

After the Player passed or did not pass, the new round starts. Another person can be the thrower then. In land casinos, the thrower is usually changed when he gets the seven out.

wagers

To place a wager, you should fist choose the amount of the chip you want. Then just click on the table field. Another click will increase the wager by the amount of the chip. To reset or cancel your wager, choose erasing chip () and click to the wager.

The Craps game has a lot of several bets. Please see the tables below to find out the bet payout amount and wager maximums.

The following are wager types in the game:

• Pass Line and Don't Pass bets

In this case you bet on the shooter's passing or not passing in the round. If you wager on the Pass Line field, you are called a "right" bettor, since you wager on the thrower's passing. If you bet on Don't Pass, you are called "wrong" or "contrarian" bettor, since you play against the thrower.

The bets Pass Line and Don't Pass are opposite. If the thrower passes , you win if you wager on Pass Line. If you bet on Don't Pass, you lose. The Don't Pass wager is returned to the Wagerer, if first roll was 2 in total.

• Come and Don't Come wagers

This kind of bets is very close conceptually to the above kinds of bets, except that these wagers are only placed for subsequent rolls.

The Come bet wins if the next number to come out is natural (7 or 11). If the next roll gives a crap (2, 3 or 12), the bet loses. When the next roll gives 4, 5, 6, 8, 9,10 (the come numbers), your bet is moved to current come out number in appropriate field of the "Buy wager" number on the table. Your bet plays the same as the Buy wager (if this number comes out before seven, you succeed). Otherwise the wager remains until a point number or 7 comes out.

The Don't Come bet is contrary to the Come wager. The Don't Come wager wins if the next roll gives 3 or 12, and loses if 7 or 11 comes out. If the next roll gives 2, the bet is considered push and returned to the Wagerer. If the come number comes out, the wager is moved to the "Lay wager" field of appropriate number and acts as the Lay wager (if seven comes out before your number, you succeed). Otherwise the bet remains until the point number or 7 comes out.

• Free Odds for Pass Line and Don't Pass

For Pass Line and Don't Pass bets, you can place subsequent wagers when the shooter makes subsequent rolls. For this aim, place once again on appropriate field; the bet becomes lower than the first one. See the table below for the subsequent bet behavior details.

• Free Odds for Come and Don't Come

• Field wagers

In this case you bet on 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11 or 12 coming out with the next roll. If 2 or 12 comes out with the next roll, the gain is paid out 2:1, if 3, 4, 9, 10 or 11 comes out, the gain is paid out 1:1. If other numbers come out (5, 6, 7 or 8) the bet loses.

• Big 6 and Big 8

Here you wager on 6 or 8 coming out before 7.

• Place wagers

Here you place your wager on the field on top of the table, opposite each number. You bet on the number coming sooner than 7. This kind of wagers does not participate in the first bet. If you win, you are paid out one gain, and the bet remains on the field.

If you remove the wager from the table, the commission is also returned. Besides, the wager only plays when there is the point number determined, i.e. subsequent rolls are made. In the first roll, this kind of wagers is not considered and is marked "OFF".

If 1 and 3, or 7 in total, come out, the wager loses. In other cases the game continues. The wagers play until your couple (or another combination with of same total amount) or 7 comes out.

• One roll bets

These kinds of bets play on one roll. If the next roll gives the number you chose on the bet field, you succeed, otherwise you lose.
