Craps

Welcome to the world of online Craps. Craps has been a crowd favourite for quite some time now. Whether you are playing internet Craps or Craps at your nearest land based casino the rules and the entertainment is the same. Below are the rules of the game for your enjoyment.

Basics
Craps is played with two dice, each numbered 1-6. This means that there are 36 possible rolls, shown below:

Come Out Roll - This is the first Roll of a new game. It occurs either after the point has been made or when a new shooter is rolling.

Pass Line - This is an even money wager, and is placed prior to the Come Out roll. You win automatically if a 7 or 11 is rolled and you lose if the shooter rolls a 2, 3, or 12. Any other number rolled is marked as the 'point', and this number must be repeated before a seven to win.

Don't Pass - Similar to the Pass Line, only you win if a 2 or 3 is rolled and you tie if the shooter rolls a 12. If a 7 or 11 is rolled you lose. The "point" is established in the same way only this time you are betting that the shooter will roll a 7 before this number turns up.

Come Bet - This bet is made after the Come Out roll. The same rules apply to this bet as do to the Pass Line bet. This wager occurs on the next roll after you have placed the bet. Whatever number is rolled next will be the number you are wagering on.

Don't Come - Also placed after the Come Out roll. The only difference here is that the rules applied for this bet are the same as those for a Don't Pass wager.

Odds Bet - This wager is only applicable to players who have made at least one of the following bets; Pass Line, Don't Pass Line, Come Bet or Don't Come Bet. Odds bets simply backup your existing wager and payout differently depending on the outcome. See the game rules for full payout odds.

Field Bets - This bet can be made at anytime and the player wins even money if a 3, 4, 9, 10 or 11 is rolled. If the shooter rolls a 2 or 12 the player wins double their wager. If any other number is rolled (5, 6, 7 or 8) the player loses.

Place Bets - The Place Bets are only for the following numbers; 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10. If you wager on one of these numbers and it is rolled before a 7 you win the Place Bet odds for that number, see game rules for full odds information.

Roll the Dice

Craps is a game of CHANCE and central to this game is the rolling of 2 identical dice. You can't be 100% certain what the outcome of a roll will be but you can still have an advantage. Below is a table showing all the possible dice combinations available, including the percentage of rolling each given number.

# ROLLED	DICE COMBINATIONS	% CHANCE	# WAYS
2	1/1	2.77%	1
3	1/2 2/1	5.55%	2
4	1/3 2/2 3/1	8.33%	3
5	1/4 2/3 3/2 4/1	11.11%	4
6	1/5 2/4 3/3 4/2 5/1	13.88%	5
7	1/6 2/5 3/4 4/3 5/2 6/1	16.66%	6
8	2/6 3/5 4/4 5/3 6/2	13.88%	5
9	3/6 4/5 5/4 6/3	11.11%	4
10	4/6 5/5 6/4	8.33%	3
11	5/6 6/5	5.55%	2
12	6/6	2.77%	1

To calculate the odds, take a total of 36 rolls, and compare the ways a roll CAN'T be made to the number of ways a roll CAN be made. Remember these pairs in order of probability:

2 and 12 each have 35 to 1 odds.
3 and 11 have 34 to 2 or 17 to 1 odds.
4 and 10 have 33 to 3 or 11 to 1 odds.
5 and 9 have 32 to 4 or 8 to 1 odds.
6 and 8 have 31 to 5 or 6.2 to 1 odds.
7 is the most likely, with 5 to 1 odds.
