How To Play Craps
| |
The craps table brings a fast tempo, coupled with the best odds in the house to
the casino. Wild hand gestures, a seemingly foreign language, raucous laughter,
and plenty of excitement surround the craps tables. Don't let the complexity of
the game or the wild-west atmosphere intimidate you. Craps is a
people-oriented, social game, and you can play with confidence if you
understand the two most common bets.
The mechanics of the game are simple: the shooter (the player who rolls the
dice) throws a set of dice from one end of the table to the other, bouncing
them off the far wall. When the dice come to a rest, the numbers on both dice
are added together to arrive at the number. Bets are placed before the roll and
paid after the roll. You need not wait for a new game to place a bet; you can
place a mid-game bet before a roll begins. The shooter retains in control of
the dice until the end of the game, unless losing on the first roll of the game
(called the come out roll), in which case the shooter retains the dice for
another game. The players take turns being the shooter, and the position moves
clockwise for each new game. You may pass on your turn at shooter.
How To Play Craps : The Basics
· Each new shooter begins the game by throwing the dice. The first roll is the
come out roll.
· If the shooter rolls a 7 or 11 (called a natural), the shooter wins, and the
game is over.
· If the shooter rolls a 2, 3, or 12 (called craps), the shooter loses, the
game is over, but the shooter retains control of the dice. (Note: some casinos
consider 12 a push rather than a loss.)
· If the shooter rolls any other number (called the point number), the shooter
continues to roll until hitting the point number or rolling a 7.
· If the shooter rolls the point number before rolling a 7, the shooter wins.
Hitting a 7 before hitting the point number means that the shooter loses.
How To Play Craps : Betting
There are over 40 different bets in craps, most of them based on odds. There
are only two bets that you need to learn to get started and both pay even odds:
· Passline Bets (betting with the shooter) – If the shooter rolls a 7 or 11 (a
natural) on the come out roll, passline bets win. If the shooter rolls a 2, 3
or 12 (rolls craps) on the come out roll, passline bets lose. If the shooter
hits a point number instead, the passline bets that the shooter will hit the
point number before hitting a 7.
· Don't Passline Bets (betting against the shooter) – If the shooter rolls 2, 3
or 12 on the come out roll don't passline bets win. If the shooter rolls a
natural, don't passline bets lose. If the shooter hits a point number on the
come out roll, the don't passline bets that the shooter will hit a 7 before
hitting the point number.
Learn the rules, the sequence of play, and the Passline and Don't Passline bets
before you play, and learn the rest as you go along. Walk right up to the table
and watch if want. Hangers-on are encouraged and welcome.
