| Craps
Craps has been a popular casino game since the era
of the Roman gladiators. Players bet on whether the
shooter will or will not be able to roll a winning
combination with a pair of six-sided dice. You'll
be hard-pressed to find a game with more excitement
and fun than Craps.
Rules
To
understand craps the first thing you need to learn
is that it is a game of rounds. The first roll is
called the "come out" roll. Sometimes the outcome
of a round will be determined on the come out roll.
A 2, 3, 7, 11, or 12 on the come out roll immediately
ends a round. If any other total is rolled (4, 5,
6, 8, 9, or 10) that number is called the point. The
dealer will place a white puck (white circle which
can be either "on" or "off") on an area of the table
to designate which point is "on". If a point is rolled,
the dice will be rolled continuously until the same
point is rolled again or a 7 is rolled, which ends
the round and all bets that are still outstanding,
lose. When that happens, the point comes off and new
round starts.
Bet
types:
Pass
This is the most common bet in craps. You place
your bet on the Pass Line area on the table on a come
out roll. If the come out roll is a 7 or 11 you win.
If the come out roll is a 2, 3, or 12 you lose. If
any point is rolled on the come out roll and if the
same point is rolled before a 7 is rolled, you win.
If a 7 comes before the point you lose. You cannot
remove a Pass Line bet after the point has been made.
Pass Line bet pays 1:1.
Taking
the Odds (Pass Line Odds)
The odds are simply an additional wager that the
point will be rolled before a 7 and can be only placed
after the come out role if the point is made. Odds
bets are paid out at: 2:1 if the point is 4 or 10,
3:2 if the point is 5 or 9, and 6:5 if the point is
6 or 8. Odds bets can be removed or reduced at any
time. You can only place the Odds bet if you have
a Pass bet on. The maximum amount of Free Odds bets
is twice the amount of the Pass/Don't Pass/Come/Don't
Come bets.
Don't
Pass
This is almost the opposite of the Pass Line bet.
This bet is placed against the shooter and wins if
craps (2 or 3) is thrown on the come-out roll and
loses if 7 or 11 are thrown. A 12 is a push. If any
point is rolled on the come out roll and if the same
point is rolled before a 7 is rolled, you lose. If
the 7 comes before the point you win. You cannot remove
a Don't Pass bet after the point has been made. Don't
Pass Line bet pays 1:1.
Laying
the Odds (Don't Pass Line Odds)
On the contrary to Taking the Odds, Laying the
odds is an additional wager that 7 will be rolled
before the point; and it can be only placed after
the point has been made. Odds bets are paid out at:
1:2 if the point is 4 or 10, 2:3 if the point is 5
or 9, and 5:6 if the point is 6 or 8. Odds bet can
be removed or reduced at any time.
Come
This bet is exactly the same as a Pass Line bet
but it only can be made after the point is established.
If 7 or 11 rolls, you win. If a 2, 3, or 12 come,
you lose. If 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10 rolls, the dealer moves
your bet to the number that rolled which becomes your
'point' for that bet. If you throw this same number
again, you win; if a 7 is rolled before your point,
you lose. Once your bet has been moved to the appropriate
box, if 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10 was thrown when you placed
your Come bet, you can take the odds on it just like
taking the odds on a Pass Line Bet.
Don't
Come
Again, this bet is similar to the Don't Pass bet
with only one difference, it can be made only after
a point has been made. You cannot remove the Don't
Come bet after it has been placed until it is resolved.
Once your bet has been moved to the appropriate box,
if 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10 was thrown when you placed your
Don't Come bet, you can take the odds on it just like
taking the odds on a Don't Pass Line Bet.
Buy
This bet can be made on the following numbers:
4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10. It is a bet that the relevant
number will be thrown before a 7. Buy bets can only
be made or altered when the point is on, as identified
by the puck. Note: Our Craps game charges a 5% Lay
Commission on both winning and losing Buy wagers.
Lay
Lay bet is the opposite of the buy bet. This bet
can be made on the following numbers: 4, 5, 6, 8,
9, or 10. It is a bet that a 7 will be thrown before
the relevant number. Lay bets can only be made or
altered when the point is on, as identified by the
puck. Note: Our Craps game charges a 5% Lay Commission
on both winning and losing Lay wagers.
Field
This is a bet on the outcome of the next throw
only. It pays even money if a 3, 4, 9, 10 or 11 is
thrown and 2:1 if Snake Eyes (2) or Boxcars (12) are
thrown; if 5,6,7 or 8 come, you lose.
Hard
Way
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 (for instance, a hard 8 occurs when two
4s are thrown) before a 7 and before that number is
thrown in any other combination.
