How to Play Craps:
Craps
is one of those games which will generate all of the fun and noise in the
land-based casinos, and now they have hit online casino’s they are proving to
be a phenomenon with all level of players! The beauty of Craps is that you the
player can make it as simple or as complex as you want it, as it all depends on
the type and amount of bets you place on the Craps table.
First
of all, one of the players (up to a total of seven) chooses to be the “Shooter”
and this person is the one who throws the dice, and the first throw is called
the “Come Out Roll”. Before the Come Out Roll is thrown, all players will place
“Pass Line Bets” and the result of these wagers is dependant upon what number
the Come Out Roll will be.
Pass Line Bets:
Come
Out Role a 7 or 11 = Instant Win.
Come
Out Role a 2, 3 or 12 = Instant Lose.
This
leaves the remaining possible numbers of 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 and 10. If any of these
numbers arise then it will become what is known as the “Point”. If the Shooter
rolls a Point then he/she must keep rolling the dice until the number recognized
as the Point OR a 7 appears. If the Point is rolled before a 7 then all Pass
Line Bets win, if however, a 7 is rolled before the Pointer then all Pass Line
Bets are lost. The game carries on until one of these two numbers come up!

Craps Tips/Strategy:
Here
are some quick tips on how to get a flying start in Craps:
- Create
your own pattern of play and keep to it!
- If you
are in it for the long haul then keep wagering on the “Pass/Don’t Pass”
and “Come/Don’t Come” bets.
- It would
be great, but you will not win every roll of the Craps dice!
- It’s
good practice to raise as you win and lower bets when you lose.
- Placing
a Pass Line Bet and an equivalent field bet means that if/when the Shooter
Craps out, you will still win your bet in the field. But when the Shooter
wins with a 7 or 11, you’ll still be able to break even!
- Trying
out your new Craps strategy in “Practice” mode will help you to play with
confidence once you hit the “live” table
