Play Craps Online

Craps is a dice game developed from a simplification of the old English dice game Hazard. According to many, Craps is one of the most exciting and fastest dice games. The rules of Craps can seem quite complicated at first. However, craps is pretty simple. What at first glance makes it look complicated is that the players have a number of different betting options. The game is normally played on a table with different areas for the different types of bets that players can make. The casino game Craps is built around the number 7. You are two or more players playing and rolling two dice. The person who rolls the dice is called a "shooter". The other players play against the shooter.

The order of who rolls the dice rotates clockwise around the table. The simplest type of bet that a shooter must place is a table minimum for the "Pass" line or the "Dont Pass" line (whether or not the shooter will pass the roll). The first roll called as "the come out roll". Bet on the "Pass" line wins the first roll if the outcome of the roll is 7 or 11. If shooter rolls 2, 3 or 12, he loses a bet on the "Pass" line. The other numbers, 4,5,6,8,9 and 10 will be "the point" if they come up. This then becomes a number that the shooter must throw before throwing 7. The person who placed a "Pass" line bet then loses if a seven comes up before the "point" number.

"Pass" line bets can be removed and reduced before the "point" number is established. For the "Dont Pass" line, the rules are exactly the same but the opposite. The player who bet on "Dont Pass" wins if the outcome is 2 or 3 (12 results in the money being returned to the player). The player loses if the shooter rolls 7 or 11. A "Dont Pass" line bet will then win if a seven comes up before the "point" number. "Dont Pass" bets cannot be removed or reduced.

Both types of bets give even money on the bet in Craps. Other types of bets that can be made in the game of Craps are e.g. "Come Bets" and "Dont Come bets" which are similar to the "Pass" and "Dont Pass" line bets. However, these bets can be made at any time during the game when the "point" number is already established. There are many more types of bets that can be made in Craps and this makes it one of the most innovative and exciting dice games .
