How to Play Craps
Welcome to USA Casino guide to playing craps at the online casino. The basics of playing craps are quite simple.
The "pass-line" bet is the most common bet in the game of craps.
On the come-out roll, those who bet on the pass line
win if they manage to roll either a 7 (Out 7) or 11.
Rolling craps is a term used to indicate that the shooter rolled
either a 2, 3, or 12, in which case anyone who betted on the pass-line losses automatically.
Rolling a point is another term that indicates that the shooter rolled either a 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10, thus setting
a point, which is the number that the shooter would have to roll again, before rolling a 7 in order to win when betting
on the pass-line.
In case the shooter rolls a 7 prior to rolling the number indicated as the point it is referred to
as being "sevened-out", in which case the shooter turns over the right to roll the dice to the next player standing to
his left (clockwise order), therefore starting a new betting round.
At the beginning of every betting round, anyone of the players including the shooter may also elect to place a
"don't-pass" bet. This bet is actually the opposite of betting the pass-line. Essentially, a don't-pass bet pays in
case the shooter rolls a craps on the come-out roll, while you lose in the event the shooter rolls 11.
In comparison
to the pass-line bet, the don't-pass bet has a lower house edge in addition to offering the same free odds once a
point was set. Let's examine an example for playing craps at the casino. For argument's sake, let's assume that
you bet $10 on the pass-line. Incase you get a "natural" (11) on your come-out roll, you'll subsequently win $10.
