How To Play Craps

Craps is a very popular and complex game. Craps certainly does elicit an emotional response from casino players. If there's one area in a casino where you'll find many whooping and hollering players, it's around the craps table! The game of craps has a long history and is still going strong. Some believe that craps is very difficult to learn, but the only truly complicating aspect of craps is the variety of different bets. Fun and excitement at the craps table await you!

 

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 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 shooter's initial roll in the beginning of the round is called the Come Out roll. An additional sign of a roll's being initial is a special black disc with "OFF" text.

Depending on the initial 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 player passed. Different 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 player did not pass (the roll is called "crapping out"). Different bets are paid out and the round is over.
  • If the player did not get natural or craps, the player 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 purpose 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 shooter 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. Different bets are paid out and the round is over.
  • If the shooter got 7 ("seven out"), he did not pass. Different bets 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 shooter then. In land casinos, the shooter is usually changed when he gets the seven out.


Bets

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

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

The following are bet 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 bet on the shooter's passing. If you bet on Don't Pass, you are called "wrong" or "contrarian" bettor, since you play against the shooter.

The bets 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 player, if initial roll was 2 in total.

  • Come and Don't Come Bets

This kind of bets is very close conceptually to the above kinds of bets, except that these bets 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 bet" number on the table. Your bet plays the same as the Buy bet (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 bet. The Don't Come bet 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 bet" 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 shooter makes subsequent rolls. For this purpose, 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

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

  • Field bets

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 bet on 6 or 8 coming out before 7.

  • Place bets

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

  • Buy bets

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 bet on a number coming out sooner than 7. Your bet is marked "B", so that the bet is separated from the Come bet. 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 bet only plays when there is the point number determined, i.e. subsequent rolls are made. In the initial roll, this kind of bets is not considered and is marked "OFF".

  • Lay bets

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 different 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 bet on 2 and 2. If 2 and 2 come out, the bet wins. It is called a hardway win. If 1 and 3, or 7 in total, come out, the bet 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 bet field, you win, otherwise you lose.

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