Craps
Craps
has been a popular casino game since the era of the Roman
gladiators. Players bet on whether the shooter will or
will not be able to roll a winning combination with a
pair of six-sided dice. You'll be hard-pressed to find
a game with more excitement and fun than Craps.
Rules
To
understand craps the first thing you need to learn is
that it is a game of rounds. The first roll is called
the "come out" roll. Sometimes the outcome of a round
will be determined on the come out roll. A 2, 3, 7, 11,
or 12 on the come out roll immediately ends a round. If
any other total is rolled (4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10) that
number is called the point. The dealer will place a white
puck (white circle which can be either "on" or "off")
on an area of the table to designate which point is "on".
If a point is rolled, the dice will be rolled continuously
until the same point is rolled again or a 7 is rolled,
which ends the round and all bets that are still outstanding,
lose. When that happens, the point comes off and new round
starts.
Bet
types:
Pass
This
is the most common bet in craps. You place your bet on
the Pass Line area on the table on a come out roll. If
the come out roll is a 7 or 11 you win. If the come out
roll is a 2, 3, or 12 you lose. If any point is rolled
on the come out roll and if the same point is rolled before
a 7 is rolled, you win. If a 7 comes before the point
you lose. You cannot remove a Pass Line bet after the
point has been made. Pass Line bet pays 1:1.
Taking
the Odds (Pass Line Odds)
The
odds are simply an additional wager that the point will
be rolled before a 7 and can be only placed after the
come out role if the point is made. Odds bets are paid
out at: 2:1 if the point is 4 or 10, 3:2 if the point
is 5 or 9, and 6:5 if the point is 6 or 8. Odds bets can
be removed or reduced at any time. You can only place
the Odds bet if you have a Pass bet on. The maximum amount
of the Odds bet is the amount of the Pass Line bet.
Don't
Pass
This
is almost the opposite of the Pass Line bet. This bet
is placed against the shooter and wins if craps (2 or
3) is thrown on the come-out roll and loses if 7 or 11
are thrown. A 12 is a push. If any point is rolled on
the come out roll and if the same point is rolled before
a 7 is rolled, you lose. If the 7 comes before the point
you win. You cannot remove a Don't Pass bet after the
point has been made. Don't Pass Line bet pays 1:1.
Laying
the Odds (Don't Pass Line Odds)
On
the contrary to Taking the Odds, Laying the odds is an
additional wager that 7 will be rolled before the point;
and it can be only placed after the point has been made.
Odds bets are paid out at: 1:2 if the point is 4 or 10,
2:3 if the point is 5 or 9, and 5:6 if the point is 6
or 8. Odds bet can be removed or reduced at any time.
Come
This
bet is exactly the same as a Pass Line bet but it only
can be made after the point is established. If 7 or 11
rolls, you win. If a 2, 3, or 12 come, you lose. If 4,
5, 6, 8, 9, 10 rolls, the dealer moves your bet to the
number that rolled which becomes your 'point' for that
bet. If you throw this same number again, you win; if
a 7 is rolled before your point, you lose. Once your bet
has been moved to the appropriate box, if 4, 5, 6, 8,
9, 10 was thrown when you placed your Come bet, you can
take the odds on it just like taking the odds on a Pass
Line Bet.
Don't
Come
Again,
this bet is similar to the Don't Pass bet with only one
difference, it can be made only after a point has been
made. You cannot remove the Don't Come bet after it has
been placed until it is resolved. Once your bet has been
moved to the appropriate box, if 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10 was
thrown when you placed your Don't Come bet, you can take
the odds on it just like taking the odds on a Don't Pass
Line Bet.
Buy
This
bet can be made on the following numbers: 4, 5, 6, 8,
9, or 10. It is a bet that the relevant number will be
thrown before a 7. Buy bets can be made,altered or removed at any time. Note:

and losing Buy wagers.
Lay
Lay
bet is the opposite of the buy bet. This bet can be made
on the following numbers: 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10. It is
a bet that a 7 will be thrown before the relevant number.
Lay bets can be made,altered or removed at any time. Note: Our Craps game charges
a 5% Lay Commission on both winning and losing Lay wagers.
Field
This
is a bet on the outcome of the next throw only. It pays
even money if a 3, 4, 9, 10 or 11 is thrown and 2:1 if
Snake Eyes (2) or Boxcars (12) are thrown; if 5,6,7 or
8 come, you lose.
Hard
Way
This
bet can be made on 4, 6, 8 or 10. It is a bet that the
relevant number will be thrown in its double form (for
instance, a hard 8 occurs when two 4s are thrown) before
a 7 and before that number is thrown in any other combination.
