THE CRAPS RULES |
THE RULES
These are the official craps rules used in online as well as off line casinos:
The shooter's first roll is known as a Come Out. In order to make a simple Pass Line Bet, you would simply lay your chips on the area marked Pass Line. You will win if the shooter hits a natural: 7 or 11. If they roll craps: 2, 3, or 12, you lose. If they happen to hit a shooter's point: 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10, they must hit that point again before rolling a 7 for you to win. Knowing how the pass line works will help your overall understanding of Craps. For example, there is a Don't Pass Line Bet, and it is as anyone would assume; the exact opposite of the Pass Line. The only discrepancy is that a 12 represents a tie/push. So, don't be shy. Get in the mix and get a bet on the table. The only way to learn to play craps is to actually play craps!
THE BETS
Come Bet:
Works as Pass Line Bets but these bets are made after the come-out roll.
Don't Come Bet:
Works as Don't Pass Line Bets but these bets are made after the come-out roll.
Odds bet:
These bets can be placed together with Pass Line Bets, Don't Pass Line Bets, Come Bets, and Don't Come Bets. With Pass Line Bets and Come Bets the odds bet is that the shooter's point will hit before a 7. With Don't Pass Line Bets and Don't Come Bets the bet is that a 7 will hit before the shooter's point. The payout on these bets depends on what number the shooter's point is. However, Odds bets always give true odds, and are the most advantageous in Craps.
