Craps

In craps, the player bets on whether the dice roll will result in a win or loss.

Craps is played with two dice. Betting chips are used to place bets.

Three numbers are "Craps" - the 2, 3, 12.

The game of Craps can be considered a game of rounds. A round begins with a beginning (come-out) roll. The round ends with either making point or 7 out (see Pass Line).

As the dice roller (shooter), you must make a either Pass Line or Don't Pass wager on the comeout roll in order to play.

Bets
There are numerous betting options, any number of which can be made during the same roll.

PASS LINE
On the come-out roll, 7 or 11 wins, Craps loses. Any other number becomes "point" (marked with the ON puck).

i.e. The point is 8

Craps Pass Line

To win the Pass Line bet, point must be repeated (making point) before 7 is rolled (7 out). Once point is made or 7 is rolled, the bet is settled. The next roll becomes the new come-out roll.

For example, the come-out roll is 8, and becomes point. The shooter continues to roll until an 8 (Pass Line wins) or 7 (Pass Line loses) is rolled.

DON'T PASS
The Don't Pass bet is the opposite of the Pass Line bet except rolling a 12 is pushed and returned to the bettor.

Don't Pass bets must be placed before the come-out roll is thrown.

On the come-out roll, 7 or 11 loses, 2 or 3 wins, 12 pushes. Any other number becomes "point" (marked with the ON puck). To win the Don't Pass bet, 7 must be rolled before point is repeated (making point). Once point is made or 7 is rolled, the bet is settled. The next roll becomes the new come-out roll.

For example, the come-out roll is 8, and becomes point. The shooter continues to roll until an 8 (Don't Pass loses) or 7 (Don't Pass wins) is rolled.

Odds Bet Overview
You can accompany your Pass Line, Don't Pass, Come, Don't Come bets with an Odds bet.

The Odds bet is popular because it pays "true odds" on your bet. True odds are based on comparing the chance of your number being rolled before the 7. To illustrate, the diagram below shows the 7's chance of being rolled (6 in 36) is twice that of the 4 (3 in 36) so placing an Odds bet in favor of the 4 will pay 2 to 1, in favor of the 7 will pay 1 to 2.
