Craps (previously known as crabs) is a casino dice game. Craps is a simplification of the Old English game hazard.
The game involves predicting what numbers will be rolled on a pair of dice. The objective is to bet whether the Shooter will roll a winning combination. The Shooter is a person who throws the dice.
The first roll of the dice in a craps round is called the “come out roll”. The opening bet in craps, which is placed just before the come out roll, is called the “pass line bet.” Pass line bets win if the shooter’s come out roll is 7 or 11, and lose when the come out roll is 2 (snake eyes), 3 (cross eyes), or 12 (box cars). If 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10 are rolled on the come out roll then that number becomes “the point”. Once the point has been established a plastic disc (the puck) is placed on the table over the box for the number rolled as the point is “4, 5, six, 8, nine, or 10″.
3.3 Bet Types
Pass Line Bets
‘Pass Line’ bet is placed on the field labeled “PASS LINE” before the come out roll. This bet wins if the come out roll is 7 or 11, and loses if 2, 3 or 12 are rolled. If 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10 are rolled, that number becomes “the point“. To win a ‘Pass Line’ bet, the shooter must roll the point again before rolling a 7. If the shooter rolls a 7 before rolling the point again, a ‘Pass Line’ bet loses. A winning ‘Pass Line’ bet pays even money (1 to 1). Once the point has been established, unresolved ‘Pass Line’ bets may not be removed or reduced. They must be resolved by a roll of the point or 7.
Don’t Pass Line Bets
‘Don’t Pass Line’ bet is placed on the craps table in the “DON’T PASS BAR” before the come out roll. If the shooter rolls 2 or 3 on the come out roll, a ‘Don’t Pass Line’ bet wins. However, if the come out roll is 7 or 11, ‘Don’t Pass Line’ bets lose. If the come out roll is 12, a ‘Don’t Pass Line’ bet is returned to the player in a push. If the come out roll is 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10, that number becomes the point. Once the point has been established, ‘Don’t Pass Line’ bets win if the shooter rolls a 7 before rolling the point again. If the shooter rolls the point again before rolling a 7, ‘Don’t Pass Line’ bets lose. A winning ‘Don’t Pass Line’ bet pays even money (1 to 1). Unlike ‘Pass Line’ bets, ‘Don’t Pass Line’ bets may be removed or reduced.
Come Bets
A come bet is placed in the “COME” bar on the craps table before any roll of the dice, once the point has been established by the come out roll. The rules for come bets are essentially the same as pass line bets. Come bets win, if the shooter’s next roll is 7 or 11, and lose, if the roll is 2, 3, or 12. If the shooter rolls 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10, then that number becomes “the come point,” and the dealer will move the come bet from the “COME” bar on the craps table to the box corresponding to the come point: “4, 5, six, 8, nine, or 10″. If the shooter rolls the come point again before rolling a 7, come bets win. Similarly to the pass line bet, unresolved come bets may not be removed or reduced. They must be resolved by a roll of the come point or 7.
Don’t Come Bets
Don’t come bets win when the shooter’s next roll is 2 or 3, and lose if the roll is 7 or 11. If the shooter rolls a 12, the bet will be returned to the player in a push. If the roll is 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10, that number becomes “the come point,” and the dealer will move the don’t come bet from the “DON’T COME BAR” to the left corner of the narrow, uppermost bar over the box corresponding to the come point: “4, 5, six, 8, nine, or 10″. After the come point is established, don’t come bets win if 7 is rolled and lose if the come point is rolled. Don’t come bets will stay in their place until the come point or a 7 is rolled. However, unresolved don’t come bets may be removed.
Odds Bets
Odds Bet is a “Back Up” bet on an original Pass Line Bet, Don’t Pass Line Bet, Come Bet, or Don’t Come Bet.
Pass Line Odds Bets
After the Point has been established, a Pass Line Odds Bet can placed by clicking the left mouse button below “PASS LINE” area. A winning Pass Line Odds Bet pays true odds: 2 to 1 when the point is 4 or 10, 3 to 2 when the point is 5 or 9, and 6 to 5 when the point is 6 or 8. Unlike the original Pass Line Bet, an unresolved Pass Line Odds Bet may be removed.
Don’t Pass Line Odds Bets
Once the Point has been established, a “Don’t Pass Line Odds Bet” is placed by clicking your left mouse button anywhere on the “DON’T PASS BAR” area. A winning Don’t Pass Line Odds Bet pays true odds: 1 to 2 when the point is 4 or 10, 2 to 3 when the point is 5 or 9, and 5 to 6 when the point is 6 or 8. An unresolved Don’t Pass Line Odds Bet may be removed.
Come Odds Bets
Once the Come Point has been established, a “Come Odds Bet” is placed by clicking your left mouse button directly under your Come Bet, within the box that corresponds to the Come Point: “4, 5, six, 8, nine, or 10″. A winning Come Odds Bet pays true odds: 2 to 1 when the point is 4 or 10, 3 to 2 when the point is 5 or 9, and 6 to 5 when the point is 6 or 8. Unlike the original Come Bet, an unresolved Come Odds Bet may be removed.
Don’t Come Odds Bets
Once the Come Point has been established, a “Don’t Come Odds Bet” is placed on your “Don’t Come Bet” by clicking in the space directly under your Don’t Come Bet, within the narrow, uppermost bar. This bar is above the box that corresponds to the Come Point: “4, 5, six, 8, nine, or 10″. A winning Don’t Come Odds Bet pays true odds: 1 to 2 when the point is 4 or 10, 2 to 3 when the point is 5 or 9, and 5 to 6 when the point is 6 or 8. An unresolved Don’t Come Odds bet may be removed.
Field Bets
A “Field Bet” is a bet that the next roll of the dice will be 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11, or 12. It is placed in the “FIELD” bar area, before any roll of the dice. If the next roll is 3, 4, 9, 10 or 11, Field Bet wins even money. If 2 is rolled, the Field Bet wins 2 to 1. If 12 is rolled, Field Bet wins 2 to 1. If 5, 6, 7, or 8 is rolled, Field Bet is lost.
Big 6 and Big 8 Bets
A “Big 6 Bet” is a bet that 6 will be rolled before 7. Equally, a “Big 8 Bet” is a bet that 8 will be rolled before 7. A Big 6 or a Big 8 Bet is placed in either “6″ or “8″ box, which is located in the right corner of the craps table. A Big 6 or Big 8 Bet pays 7:6 if the shooter rolls a 6 or 8 before rolling 7. Unresolved Big 6 and Big 8 Bets may be removed.
Place Bets
There are two types of place bets:
1. A “Place to Win Bet” is a bet that either 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10 will be rolled before a 7. A Place to Win Bet is placed in the narrow, unlabeled bar located just under the box with the corresponding number on the Craps Table: “4, 5, six, 8, nine, or 10″. A winning Place to Win Bets are paid according to the following ratios: 7 to 6 on numbers 6 and 8, 7 to 5 on numbers 5 and 9, and 9 to 5 on numbers 4 and 10.
2. A “Place to Lose Bet” is a bet that 7 will be rolled before either 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10. A Place to Lose Bet is placed in the right-hand side of the narrow, unlabeled bar located just above the box with the corresponding number on the craps table: “4, 5, six, 8, nine, or 10″. A winning Place to Lose Bets are paid according to the following ratios: 4 to 5 on numbers 6 and 8, 5 to 8 on numbers 5 and 9, and 5 to 11 on numbers 4 and 10.
Buy Bets
A “Buy Bet” is a bet that either 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10 will be rolled before 7. 5% commission is charged on your profit from this bet. Buy Bet winnings are then paid at true odds: 6 to 5 on numbers 6 and 8, 3 to 2 on numbers 5 and 9, and 2 to 1 on numbers 4 and 10.
Lay Bets
A “Lay Bet” is essentially the reverse of a Buy Bet. A Lay Bet is a bet that 7 will be rolled before 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10. 5% commission is charged on your profit from this bet. Lay Bet winnings are then paid at true odds: 5 to 6 on numbers 6 and 8, 2 to 3 on numbers 5 and 9, and 1 to 2 on numbers 4 and 10. Unresolved Lay Bets may be removed.
Any 7 Bets
An “Any 7 Bet” is a bet that the next roll of the dice will be a 7. It is placed on any roll of the dice, in the “SEVEN” field, on the craps table. If 7 is rolled, you win 4 times your bet.
Any Craps Bets
An “Any Craps Bet” is a bet that the next roll of the dice will be 2, 3, or 12. It is placed on any roll of the dice, in the “ANY CRAPS” field on the craps table. If 2, 3, or 12 is rolled, you win 7 times your bet.
Horn Bets
The “Horn Bet” is a one roll bet, by which you are betting that 2, 3, 11 or 12 will appear on the next roll of the dice. This bet box is placed in the center of the “one roll” layout.
There are two ways to place a Horn Bet. You may bet on each specific number individually, or on the group of four numbers as a whole.
To place a bet on a specific number, place your bet in 2, 3, 11 or 12 box. The odds (return) for each number being rolled are clearly marked in each box. For example, if you bet $1 on the number 2 being rolled next, and win, you will receive the marked odds of 30 for 1; for a total return of $30.
To place a bet on the Horn group as a whole (2, 3, 11 or 12), place your bet in the “Horn Bet” box, located in the center of the Horn numbers. If one of the Horn numbers is rolled next, you will receive the marked odds for the number rolled (either 15 for 1, or 30 for 1), minus 3/4 of the return amount (as the group Horn Bet is four times more likely to see a return). For example, if you place a $1 bet in the “Horn Bet” box, and either 2 or 12 is rolled, you will receive the marked odds of 30 for 1, minus 3/4 of the amount; for a total return of $7.75. If either 3 or 11 is rolled, you will receive the marked odds of 15 for 1, minus 3/4 of the amount; for a total return of $4.
Hardway Bets
A “Hardway Bet” is a bet that the shooter will roll either 4, 6, 8, or 10 as doubles (2+2, 3+3, 4+4, or 5+5) before rolling a 7. For example, a roll of 4+4 is called a “Hard 8,” while a roll of 5+3 or 6+2 is called an “Easy 8.” A winning Hardway Bet pays 8 for 1 on numbers 4 and 10 and 10 for 1 on numbers 6 and 8. If you roll an “Easy” before rolling a “Hard” you lose your bet. Unresolved Hardway Bets may be removed.
Craps, Eleven (‘Yo’), Eleven or Craps Bets
Craps bet is a single bet placed anytime that will pay 7:1 if a total of 2, 3 or 12 is thrown on the next roll, all other totals on this roll will lose the bet. This bet is placed by clicking any of ‘C’ circles on the craps table.
Eleven bet is a single bet placed anytime that will only pay if a total of 11 is thrown on the next roll, all other totals on this roll will lose the bet. Eleven bet will pay 15:1. This bet is placed by clicking any of ‘E’ circles on the craps table.
Eleven or Craps is a combination of Craps bet and Eleven bet. It is placed on the area between ‘C’ and ‘E’ circles on the craps table. It will pay 7:2 if 2,3,12 is rolled and 15:2 if 11 is rolled.
