CRAPS FOR FREE

Craps can be an intimidating game for the beginner. The table seems to have about a hundred different kinds of bets. Critical to the understanding of Craps is that it is a game of rounds. The first roll in a round is called the Come out roll. Sometimes the outcome of a round will be determined on the Come out roll. In particular a 2, 3, 7, 11, or 12 on the Come out roll immediately ends a round. If any other total is rolled (4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10) that number is called the Point. A white puck is placed on an area of the table to designate what the Point is, in case you forget. If a Point is rolled the dice will be rolled continuously until the same Point is rolled again or a 7.

Button and Table Bet Descriptions

Placing a Bet

Select the amount that you would like to bet with each click. Click on the chip amount and this will be added to the “Amount to bet per click” section. Once you have the correct amount click on the region of the table for the type of bet you wish to place. You may change the amount that you bet on different sections by changing the amount in the “Amount to bet per click” section. The chips will be placed on the table. Green areas indicate bets that can be placed (added to); conversely, red areas indicate bets that cannot be made.
To remove a bet from the table right click on the bet. The amount of chips will be removed from the stack on the table.

Roll

Clicking on the Roll button after placing a bet starts a new round and sets the dice in motion. After the dice come to a rest, losing bets are removed from the table, and winning bets are paid. For winning bets, the original bet amount is returned after the winnings are paid out. Also, any bets that tie (push) are returned.

Repeat

Clicking on the Repeat button will repeat all the bets made on the previous round that can be validly placed now.

Clear

Clicking on the Clear button removes all the bets on the table that can be removed. Most bets can be removed, added to, or deducted from at any time. Exceptions would be the Pass and Come bets, and you cannot exceed the maximum bet on the odds.

Bet Regions

When moving the cursor over the bet regions a yellow “tag” will appear that gives the name of the bet, the current amount placed for that bet, and the minimum and maximum amounts that can be placed on that bet. If a green highlight appears in a region, that indicates this bet can be placed or changed. If a red highlight appears, this bet cannot be increased (but sometimes can be removed).

Craps Bets

The Pass Line

The Pass Line is the most fundamental bet in Craps, almost every Player at the table bets on it. The Pass Line is an even money bet. You start by placing your bet on the Pass Line area on the table on a Come out roll. If the Come out roll is a 7 or 11 you win, which is also called a “natural”. If the Come out roll is a 2, 3, or 12 (Craps) you lose. If any Point is rolled on the Come out roll if the Point is rolled again before a 7 you win. If a 7 comes before the Point you lose. That is all there is to it. Once you understand the Pass Line bet you are ready to play Craps. You may want to practice using fun money a few times before playing for real money.

Buying the Odds

Once a Point has been thrown you may bet up to 2 times your Pass Line bet on the 'odds.' The odds are simply an additional bet that the Point will be rolled before a 7. Because the probability of the Point being rolled first is less than 50% you win more than you bet if it happens. Specifically if the Point is a 6 or 8 the odds pay 6:5, if the Point is a 5 or 9 the odds pay 3:2, and if the Point is a 4 or 10 the odds pay 2:1.

Point	Odds	Bet	Win	Total Winnings
4 or 10	2:1	$10	$20	$30
5 or 9	3:2	$10	$15	$25
6 or 8	6:5	$10	$12	$22

Don’t Pass

The Don't Pass is almost the opposite of the Pass Line bet. If the Come out roll is a 2 or 3 then you win, a 7 or 11 you lose. A 12 is a push. Otherwise the dice are rolled over and over until either the Point or a 7 is rolled. If the 7 comes before the Point you win.

A person betting on the Don't Pass is not the bet of choice by many Players, since this bet is betting against the shooter. This is also called a "wrong" bettor and is usually winning when everyone else is losing, and vice versa.
