How to Play Craps
When you play craps online, each round begins with a "come-out roll." Here's how it works:
- The shooter (you, in online craps) rolls two dice. The roll can have three possible outcomes:
- Natural: You roll a 7 or 11. You win and roll again.
- Craps: You roll a 2, 3, or 12. You lose but get to roll again.
- Point: You roll a 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10. This number becomes the "Point."
- If you establish a Point:
- An "On" button appears in online craps games.
- Your goal is to roll this Point number again before rolling a 7.
- Rolling your Point wins the round.
- Rolling a 7 ("seven out") loses and ends the round.
- You continue rolling until you either hit your Point or roll a 7.
This cycle repeats for each new betting round in craps online. The game's excitement comes from the various betting options available on each roll and the communal nature of rooting for or against the shooter.
Craps Bets
When you play online craps for real money, you'll encounter a variety of betting options displayed on the virtual table layout. Understanding these bets is crucial to enjoying and potentially profiting from this exciting table game.
Each area on the craps table represents a different type of bet, each with its own odds and payouts. As you become more familiar with the game, you can explore these various betting options to develop your own craps strategy.
Pass Line
The Pass Line bet is one of the most fundamental wagers in craps. Here's what it means:
- You're betting that the shooter will win by:
- Rolling a 7 or 11 on the come-out roll (an immediate win), or
- Establishing a point (4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10) and then rolling that same number again before rolling a 7.
- This bet loses if:
- The come-out roll is 2, 3, or 12 (known as "craps"), or
- After a point is established, a 7 is rolled before the point number is repeated.
Don’t Pass Line
The Don't Pass Line bet is essentially betting against the shooter. You win if:
- The come-out roll is 2 or 3
- A point is established, and a 7 is rolled before the point number
You lose if:
- The come-out roll is 7 or 11
- The shooter successfully rolls the point number after it's established
Note: If the come-out roll is 12, it's typically a push (tie) on the Don't Pass bet.
Timing of Bets:
- Pass and Don't Pass bets can only be placed before a point is established
- Once a point is set, players can make Come or Don't Come bets, which function similarly to Pass and Don't Pass bets for subsequent rolls. These bets form the foundation of craps strategy when you play craps online.
Come and Don’t Come Bet
Here is an explanation of Come and Don’t Come bets:
Come Bet:
- Wins on 7 or 11
- Loses on 2, 3, or 12
- If a point is rolled, it becomes the Come-Bet point. You win if the Come-Bet point is rolled again before a 7.
Don't Come Bet:
- Wins on 2 or 3
- Loses on 7 or 11
- If a point is rolled, you win if 7 comes before the point
Key Points:
- Pass and Come bets can't be turned off once placed
- Additional bets on Come-Bet points can be adjusted
- A 12 on Don't Pass or Don't Come results in a push (tie)
These bets add variety and strategy when you play craps online. They allow players to make additional wagers after the come-out roll, increasing engagement throughout the game.
Odds Bets
When you play craps online, odds bets are additional wagers that complement your main bets. Here's what you need to know:
- Probability: Different dice combinations have varying likelihoods. For example, a 7 is more probable than a 12.
- True Odds: Odds bets pay according to the actual probability of rolling specific numbers, unlike fixed-payout bets.
- No House Edge: These bets offer true odds, meaning there's no built-in house advantage.
- Supplementary Bets: Odds bets are made in addition to Pass, Don't Pass, Come, or Don't Come bets.
- Variable Payouts: The payout depends on the point number. For instance, a point of 4 or 10 pays more than a point of 6 or 8 due to lower probability.
Odds bets are popular among experienced players in craps online because they improve the overall expected return. However, they require a good understanding of craps strategy and probability.
Proposition Bets
Proposition bets are a type of wager you can make. Here are some of the main features:
- Single Roll Bets: Proposition bets are resolved on a single roll of the dice.
- Located in Table Centre: You'll find these bets in the middle of the craps table layout.
- High Risk, High Reward: They often offer higher payouts but come with a higher house edge.
- Specific Outcomes: You're betting on exact numbers or combinations. For example:
- Any Seven: Betting the next roll will be a 7
- Any Craps: Betting the next roll will be 2, 3, or 12
- Specific Numbers: Betting on exact totals like 2 (snake eyes) or 12 (boxcars)
- Quick Resolution: These bets are settled immediately after each roll.
- Not for Beginners: Due to their higher risk, proposition bets are typically favoured by more experienced players.
While exciting, remember that these bets have a higher house edge when playing craps online.
Place 6 and Place 8 bets
Place 6 and Place 8 bets are popular options. You're betting that a 6 or 8 will be rolled before a 7 appears. You only need to place your chips on the number 6 or 8 on the craps table layout. If your chosen number (6 or 8) is rolled before a 7, you win.
Craps Payouts
When you play craps online, understanding odds and payouts is crucial:
- Dice Probability: Some numbers are more likely to be rolled than others. For example, 7 is the most common, while 2 and 12 are the rarest.
- True Odds vs. Payout Odds: True odds reflect the actual probability of winning. Payout odds determine how much you win. The difference between these creates the house edge.
- House Edge: This is the casino's advantage. Lower house edge means better odds for players. Craps often has a lower house edge compared to other casino games.
- Calculating Payouts: To find your potential winnings, convert the payout odds to a decimal and multiply by your bet.
- Betting Strategy: Many players aim to reduce the house edge by choosing bets with better odds.
