Craps
To many people,
Craps is their favorite casino game. It is fast, exciting and
wild. It appears to be complicated at first but
in actuality is it very simple. On the first roll
(the come out role), the shooter is trying to establish
a point with one of the following numbers: 4, 5, 6, 8, 9
,10. If the shooter rolls a 7 or 11 the wager is paid
off at even money. If the shooter rolls a 2, 3, or12
then the wager is lost. If the shooter rolls a point
number, then it progresses to the next stage where the shooter
has to roll the same number again before it hits 7.
How to
play
To play , a player must first place a wager or
bet on the table.
There are several types of bets which can be
placed on the craps table:
The Pass
Bet
This is a bet that the shooter will
throw a 7 or 11 on the come out roll or, alternatively, that
the shooter will make the point.
The Don't Pass
Bet
This is the opposite of the Pass Bet.
This bet is placed against the shooter and wins if craps (2,3
or 12) is thrown on the come out roll or if the shooter fails
to make the point. If a 12 is thrown, the bet
ties.
The Come
Bet
This bet is similar to the Pass Bet but
need not be made on the come out roll. (It is really available
to allow players just joining the table to take part in the
action immediately, instead of having to wait for the shooter
to make or miss the point!)
The Don't Come
Bet
Again, this bet is similar to the Don't
Pass Bet, but need not be made on the come out
roll.
Odds
Bet
This is an additional bet made on a
Pass, Don't Pass, Come or Don't Come bet that has already been
placed. Odds bets can only be made once the point has been
established. The advantage of an odds bet is that it is paid
out at the correct odds.
Win
Bet
This bet can be made on the following
numbers: 4,5,6,8,9,10. It is a bet that the relevant number
will be thrown BEFORE a 7.
Lose
Bet
This bet can be made on the following
numbers: 4,5,6,8,9,10. It is a bet that a seven will be
thrown BEFORE the relevant number.
Field
Bet
This is a bet on the outcome of the next
throw. It pays even money if a 3,4,9,10 or 11 is thrown and
2-1 if a 2 or 12 is thrown.
Hardways
Bet
This bet can be made on 4,6,8 or 10. It
is a bet that the relevant number will be thrown in its double
form BEFORE a 7 AND before that number is thrown in any other
combination.
Any
Seven
It pays 5 for 1 (4 to 1) if a 7 is made in the next
throw.
Any
Craps
It pays 8 for 1 (4 to 1) if a 2, 3 or 12 is made in the next
