How to Play Craps

The Player should just bet on certain fields and roll the dice to win. The Player who is rolling is called the shooter. The result of each roll shows what wagers succeed 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 thrower 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 starting time of the round is called the Come Out roll. An another mark of a roll's being first is a special black disc with "OFF" text.

Depending on the initial roll end product, the end product 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 Wagerer passed. various bets are paid out and the round is over.
• If the thrower got 2 in total (snake eyes), 3 (cross eyes), or 12 (box cars) in this roll, the Gambler did not pass (the roll is called "crapping out"). diverse 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 Wagerer could be sure what the point number is. Then the plan of the shooter is to get the point number in total before 7 in total comes out. The shooter 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 Better did not pass.

The following rules are applied for each next roll:

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

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

bets

The Craps game has a lot of diverse bets. Please see the tables below to find out the wager 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 bet on the Pass Line field, you are called a "right" bettor, since you wager on the thrower's passing. If you wager on Don't Pass, you are called "wrong" or "contrarian" bettor, since you play against the thrower.

The wagers Pass Line and Don't Pass are opposite. If the shooter passes , you win if you bet on Pass Line. If you bet on Don't Pass, you lose. The Don't Pass bet is returned to the Better, 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 wagers, 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 wager 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 win). Otherwise the bet 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 Player. If the come number comes out, the bet is moved to the "Lay wager" field of appropriate number and acts as the Lay bet (if seven comes out before your number, you win). 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 bets when the thrower makes subsequent rolls. For this goal, place once again on appropriate field; the bet becomes lower than the first one. See the table below for the subsequent wager behavior details.

• Free Odds for Come and Don't Come

The same as for Free Odds for Pass Line and Don't Pass bets, you can place subsequent bets.

• Field wagers

In this case you wager 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 bet 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 wager on the number coming sooner than 7. This kind of bets does not participate in the first bet. If you win, you are paid out one gain, and the wager remains on the field.

• Buy wagers

You place your bet right on the field of the number you want, on the top of the table. This kind of bets is similar to the previous one. You wager on a number coming out sooner than 7. Your wager is marked "B", so that the bet is separated from the Come wager. The particularity of the bet is a 5% bank commission withdrawn from your account. If you remove the bet 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".

• Lay wagers

This bet is contrary to the Buy bets. You bet on 7 coming out sooner than your number. If your number comes out, you lose. bets are placed on the most top fields of the table, opposite the number you choose. The bet is marked "L", so that it would be several from Don't Come bets. The bank takes a commission of 5% of the bet amount. Besides, this kind of bets always plays, both in initial and subsequent rolls.

• Hardways

You bet on couples coming out: 2 and 2; 3 and 3; 4 and 4; 5 and 5. For example: you wager on 2 and 2. If 2 and 2 come out, the wager wins. It is called a hardway win. If 1 and 3, or 7 in total, come out, the wager loses. In other cases the game continues. The bets 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 wager field, you win, otherwise you lose.

Any seven: You wager on the next roll having 7 in total.
wagers on 2, 3, 11, 12 - here you wager on the next roll giving you the number you expect. To bet on all the four wagers, place the Horn wager. Your bet amount must be evenly even.
