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 Free Odds bets is twice the amount of the Pass/Don't Pass/Come/Don't Come bets.

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 only be made or altered when the point is on, as identified by the puck. Note: Our Craps game charges a 5% Lay Commission on both winning 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 only be made or altered when the point is on, as identified by the puck. 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.
