Craps is one of the most
exciting games you can find in
an online casino but it can be
slightly intimidating for many
people. This is down to the
fact that there are so many
different bets which can be
made, it can be very difficult
for players who do not know
about the game. However, there
is no reason to believe that
you can never pick up the
rules and nuances of craps
because it isn’t too
difficult.
To begin with, every player
around the craps table will
have a chance to roll the
dice. If you don’t want to
roll the dice that is fine but
there is an opportunity to do
so if you wish. The dice will
be passed around the table in
a clockwork fashion and when
the dice comes to you, you
need to take the dice and roll
them to the other end of the
craps table.
The initial roll of the dice
is referred to as the
“come-out” roll and if you
roll an 11 or a 7, this is
referred to as a natural and
you win. You will also be
allowed to roll the dice
again. If the dice is rolled
and a 2 a 3 or a 12 is rolled,
this is referred to as craps
and you will lose. However,
you will get the chance to
roll the dice again.
The other numbers that can be
rolled include 4, 5, 6, 8, 9
and 10. If any of these
numbers come up, this number
becomes to point and the aim
of the game is to roll the
point before the number 7 is
rolled. If a 7 happens to roll
before the point, the game is
lost and the next shooter
takes control of the dice.
However, if the point is
rolled before a 7 comes up, a
pass is made and this means
that the bet is won. That is
the basic overview of the game
of craps and if you can get
your heads around these rules,
you will be able to go far
with craps.
When it comes to playing
craps, the two main types of
bets a player can place are
pass or don’t pass bets. If
you choose to place a bet on
the pass line, you are
essentially betting on the
fact that the shooter will
win.
These bets are paid out at a
rate of 1 to 1, and the house
edge for a pass line bet is
usually around 1.4%. The
"don’t pass line" bet is
basically a bet against the
shooter, in which you are
betting that the shooter will
lose.
This bet is actually slightly
more in favor of the player
but there can be a bad feeling
about placing a bet against
the shooter so most people
will commonly bet in favor of
the pass line. With this
information, you should find
it easy to get involved around
the craps table and have some
fun with the game.
