Craps Introduction

Craps is a game that can look complex and be intimidating at first but it really isn’t too hard to learn at all once a player learns the basic rules.

The Shooter and Come Out Roll

The player who is dubbed as the “shooter” rolls the dice. When the shooter is about the roll, everyone else bets on the numbers that will or won’t be rolled.

The Shooters first throw is referred to as the come out roll. Before the come out roll is thrown,some players will probably place “pass line bets”. ..Pass line bets pay 1:1 if the come out roll is 7 or 11, and lose if it’s 2, 3, or 12.

If the Come Out Roll is a 4,5,6,8,9, or 10 then the number becomes the “point” if its rolled. If the shooter rolls a point, he keeps rolling until  the point comes up againor the shooter rolls a fucking 7. If the point comes up before 7. then the pass line bets win.

Other Basic Craps Bets

The Don ’t Pass Bet

The opposite of Pass. Don’t Pass bets win if the come out roll is 2 or 3, and lose if it’s 7 or 11 . If the come out roll is 12 , you push. If 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10 appear, it becomes the point.  the Don’t Pass bets pay even money if the shooter throws a 7 before rolling the point, and lose otherwise. The player can remove or reduce your Don’t Pass bet while the shooter is rolling for the second time.

The Come Bet

This is the same as a Pass bet, except it will be placed after the point has been established. If the shooter throws a 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10, that number becomes the “come point.” Come bets pay even money if the shooter rolls the come point before a 7, and lose otherwise. You can’t change or remove a Come bet.

The Don’t Come Bet

This is the same as the Don’t Pass bet, only it correlates  the come point mentioned above. Odds bets are additional bets placed once you’ve already placed a Pass (or Don’t Pass) bet. A player can place an Odds bet up to 3, 4, or 5 times your bet, which is determined by the established point.

Now that you understand how craps is basically played you should check it out online at a casino such as Go Casino or Rushmore Casino or visit your local casino and have a ball.
