Craps
is often considered one of the more complicated games to play at casinos
due to all the various options the player has when placing a wager. On
the first roll of the dice (which is known as the come out roll) the stickman
(in land casinos) will slide five dice to a player known as the shooter
who will then select two dice to play with. He/She will throw the dice
to the opposite end of the table. The dice must then hit the wall of the
table to be considered a legitimate roll. Of course, playing at Internet
casinos, there is no dice selection, and because rolls are handled by
the pressing of a button every roll is legitimate.
The shooter tries to make a four, five, six, eight, nine or ten with the
dice. The dealer will then take a puck that says off on one side and on
on the other side, and place it on the number rolled. The shooter will
then attempt to roll that number again before he/she rolls a seven. Craps
Rules - The Bets
The following are the various types of bets you can make when playing
craps. Note that the desired rolls can change after the come out roll
for most bets.
Pass line bet: An even money bet. If the first roll of the dice adds up
to 7 or 11, you win. But 2, 3, and 12 loses the wager. Any other number
is the point and if the point is rolled again, you win, but lose on 7.
Don't pass line bet: Just the reverse of the pass line, except that if
12 is the first roll, it's a standoff; nobody wins.
Come bet: Basically the same as the pass line, except that you must wager
after the point.
Don't come bet: The reverse of the come bet, except that a first roll
of 2 or 3 wins, and 12 is a standoff.
Odds bet: Once you have a point or a come point, you may take the ODDS
and win if the point or the come point is made before a 7. Payoff - Two
to one for 10's or 4's, three to two for 5's or 9's, six to five for 8's
or 6's. When betting DON'T PASS or DON'T COME, you lay the odds as outlined.
Place bet: Once a shooter makes a point, you may take a PLACE BET on numbers
4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10. If your number comes up before 7, you win. Payoff
- Nine to five on 4's or 1 0's, seven to five on 5's or 9's, seven to
six on 8's or 6's.
Field bet: Here you're betting that 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11 or 12 is rolled
before 5, 6, 7 or 8; 2 and 12 pay double.
Big 6 or 8 bet: You may wager one or both and win even money on the number
when thrown before 7.
HardWay bets: You win if the number comes up exactly as on the table;
lose if the number comes up any other way, or if a 7 is thrown.
Proposition bets: 2 and 12 pay thirty to one, 3 and 11 pay fifteen for
one, all on the first roll.
Any Craps: You can wager on any roll. If a 2, 3 or 12 rolls, you win.
You are paid seven times the amount of your wager. If any other number
is rolled, you lose.
