| The current player rolls a seven and the game starts. After the current player rolls a seven a new player is given the dice. Before rolling the dice the new player has to make a bet. The player makes either a pass line bet or a don't pass bet. If the player rolls 7 or 11 he is said to have made a pass. If the player rolls 2,3,12 it is called “craps”. Don't pass line bets do not win if the "craps" number is a 12 in Las Vegas or a 2 in Reno and Tahoe.
If a 4,5,6,8,9,10 is rolled on the comeout that number is called a "place" number or a "point". If a 7 is rolled "pass line" bets lose and "don't pass" bets win. In the case of a “point” number players can choose one of the bets How To Play Craps |
| LINE BETS. If you want to make a line bet, you place your money on the area of the table that says "Pass Line" or "Don't Pass". You have to choose either ‘Pass line’ or ‘don’t pass line’ bet. Line bets pay even money if they win. You place your bet on a ‘pass line bet’ area if you think that the shooter will roll 7 or 11 on the comeout roll or that the shooter will role one of the point numbers and will roll it again before rolling a 7 (sevening out).
If you think that the shooter will roll 2 or 3 on the comeout roll or will roll a 7 after rolling a point number and before rolling this point number again you choose a ‘don’t pass line bet’ area. Odds on a Line Bet. If the point number is rolled on the comeout the player is aloowed to take true odds against a 7 appearing before the point number is rolled again. The additional bet is called odds bet. In some casinos the odds bet amount is the amount equal to the line bet amount or lower. Some casinos allow to make odds bets of two, three or even more times the amount of the line bet. The odds bet is paid at a rate equal to the odds of that point number being made before a 7 is rolled. To place an odd bet you have to place your money behind you pass line bet. The Pass Line Bet is one of the most common wagers in Craps. If 2,3 or 12 is rolled you lose. The Pass Line Bet pays 1 to 1 odds.
The Odds Bet isn’t as common as the pass line bet. At the casinos there is no special area for odds bets. The player should always remember that he has a right to make a odds bet. If the point number is 4 or 10 you get paid 2:1. Some casinos allow to make odds bets which are higher than line bets. A Come Bet is made when the shooter is going to repeat the point number. If the shooter rolls a 7 or a 11 you win. If the shooter has craps you lose. If there is a point number the bet is moved from the come area to the point-box indicating the point-number that the shooter must roll for that bet to win. If the point-number is rolled before a 7, you win. If the point number is 5 or 9 the payoff is 3:2.
The Place Bet allows you to bet directly on a point-number without having to make a Pass Line or Come bet. The place bet is turned off by default during a comeout roll. Big 6 and Big 8 bets are like regular place bets. Big 6 and Big 8 bets pay even money. One Roll Bets are made by clicking on the corresponding area of the Betting Layout. The payout depends on the kind if the bet. Any Seven pays 4 to 1. Eleven (YO) and 3 pay 15 to 1. Horn Bet (2, 3, 11 and 12) pays 7 to 1 (2 or 12) or 3 to 1 (3 or 11). If you have a hard 4 and 10 the payout is 7:1. if you have a hard 6 and 8 the payout is 9:1. You can make a field bet on any roll. If you have 2 or 12 you are paid 2:1. If any other number is rolled you lose. The Buy Bet allows you to bet directly on a point-number without making a Pass Line or Come bet. Buy bets pay correct odds but you 5% will be taken out by the house. To make a Buy Bet you have to click on one of the numbers of the table. Lay Bets is based on selecting a number and placing a bet on it. Lay bet is turned off by default during a come out roll. The Don't Pass Bet is the opposite of the Pass Line bet. Click on the corresponding area of the betting layout to make a Don't Pass bet. The Don't Pass Bet wins on the comeout if the shooter rolls 2 or 3. There is a push if the shooter rolls 12. The Don't Pass bet pays 1 to 1 odds. You can make an Odds bet on the Don't Pass bet after the shooter establishes the point. if the point number is a 5 or a 9 the payout is 3:1. If you have a 6 or a 8 the payout is 6:5. The Don't Come bet can only be made while the shooter is trying to repeat the point-number. Click on the Don't Come button to place a Don't Come Bet.
