The first roll of the dice in a craps round is called the "come
out roll". The basic opening bet in craps, which is placed
just before the come out roll, is called the "pass line bet."
Pass line bets are instant winners when the shooter's come out
roll is 7 or 11, and lose when the come out roll is 2 (snake eyes),
3 (cross eyes), or 12 (box cars). If 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10 are
rolled on the come out roll, that number becomes "the point".
The puck labeled "ON" shows that the point has been
established, and is located on the craps table over the box for
the number rolled as the point: "4, 5, six, 8, nine, or 10".
To end a round of craps and resolve pass line bets, the shooter
must roll either the point or 7 after the come out roll. There's
always a possibility that a craps game can continue all night
if the shooter fails to roll the point or 7. Pass line bets can't
win until the point is rolled, and can't lose until 7 is rolled.
Because unresolved pass line bets may not be removed, players
must wait for a roll of the point or 7 to determine the outcome
of their pass line bets.
The Different Bets
Before the dice are rolled, bets can be placed in various fields
of the craps table. First, using your left mouse button, click
on the value of the chip you wish to wager. Next, place the chip
in the desired betting area on the craps table by clicking in
the area using your left mouse button again. Should you wish to
alter or remove a bet, click on your wagered chips with your right
mouse button. Please note that some bets may not be removed. Once
you have finish placing your bets, click on the "ROLL"
button to roll the dice.
Pass Line Bets
A pass line bet is placed on the field labeled "PASS LINE"
on the craps table before the come out roll (i.e. the first roll
of the dice in a new craps round). A wager on the pass line wins
if the come out roll is 7 or 11, and loses if 2, 3 or 12 is rolled.
If 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10 are rolled, that number becomes "the
point." To win a pass line bet, the shooter must roll the
point again before rolling a 7. If the shooter rolls a 7 before
rolling the point again, your pass line bet loses. A winning pass
line bet pays even money (1 to 1). Once the point has been established,
unresolved pass line bets may not be removed or reduced. They
must be resolved by a roll of the point or 7.
Don't Pass Line Bets
A don't pass line bet is essentially the reverse of a pass line
bet, and is placed on the craps table in the "DON'T PASS
BAR" before the come out roll. If the shooter rolls 2 or
3 on the come out roll, a don't pass line bet wins. However, if
the come out roll is 7 or 11, don't pass line bets lose. If the
come out roll is 12, a don't pass line bet is returned to the
player in a push. If the come out roll is 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10,
that number becomes the point. Once the point has been established,
don't pass line bets win if the shooter rolls a 7 before rolling
the point again. If the shooter rolls the point again before rolling
a 7, don't pass line bets lose. A winning don't pass line bet
pays even money (1 to 1). Unlike pass line bets, unresolved don't
pass line bets may be removed or reduced. To remove this bet click
the right mouse button. If you have placed an odds bet as well,
a single right button click will remove the odds bet, and an additional
click will remove the don't pass line bet.
Come Bets
A come bet is placed in the "COME" bar on the craps
table before any roll of the dice, once the point has been established
by the come out roll. The rules for come bets are essentially
the same as pass line bets. Come bets win if the shooter's next
roll is 7 or 11, and lose if the roll is 2, 3, or 12. If the shooter
rolls 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10, that number becomes "the come
point," and the dealer will move the come bet from the "COME"
bar on the craps table to the box corresponding to the come point:
"4, 5, six, 8, nine, or 10". If the shooter rolls the
come point again before rolling a 7, the come bet pays even money.
The come bet will stay in place until the come point or a 7 is
rolled. Similarly to the pass line bet, unresolved come bets may
not be removed or reduced. They must be resolved by a roll of
the come point or 7.
Don't Come Bets
A don't come bet is essentially the opposite of a come bet, which
is placed after the come out roll in the "DON'T COME"
bar on the craps table. Don't come bets win when the shooter's
next roll is 2 or 3, and lose if the roll is 7 or 11. If the shooter
rolls a 12, the bet will be returned to the player in a push.
If the roll is 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10, that number becomes "the
come point," and the dealer will move the don't come bet
from the "Don't Come Bar" to the left corner of the
narrow, uppermost bar over the box corresponding to the come point:
"4, 5, six, 8, nine, or 10". After the come point is
established, don't come bets win even money if 7 is rolled and
lose if the come point is rolled. Don't come bets will stay in
place until the come point or a 7 is rolled. However, unresolved
don't come bets may be removed.
Odds Bets
An "odds" bet is a "back up" bet on an original
pass line bet, don't pass line bet, come bet, or don't come bet.
The maximum odds bet is 3 times your original bet.
Pass Line Odds Bets
After the point has been established, a pass line odds bet is
placed by clicking the left mouse button on the craps table outside
the "PASS LINE" bar, under your original pass line bet.
A winning pass line odds bet pays true odds: 2 to 1 on a roll
of 4 or 10, 3 to 2 on a roll of 5 or 9, and 6 to 5 on a roll of
6 or 8. Unlike the original pass line bet, an unresolved pass
line odds bet may be removed.
Don't Pass Line Odds Bets
Once the point has been established, a don't pass line odds bet
is placed by clicking your left mouse button anywhere on the "DON'T
PASS BAR" area. A winning don't pass line odds bet pays true
odds: 1 to 2 on a roll of 4 or 10, 2 to 3 on a roll of 5 or 9,
and 5 to 6 on a roll of 6 or 8. An unresolved don't pass line
odds bet may be removed. Clicking the right mouse button will
remove the bet.
Come Odds Bets
Once the come point has been established, a come odds bet is
placed by clicking your left mouse button directly under your
come bet within the box that corresponds to the come point: "4,
5, six, 8, nine, or 10". A winning come odds bet pays true
odds: 2 to 1 on a roll of 4 or 10, 3 to 2 on a roll of 5 or 9,
and 6 to 5 on a roll of 6 or 8. Unlike the original come bet,
an unresolved come odds bet may be removed.
Don't Come Odds Bets
Once the come point has been established, an odds bet is placed
on your don't come bet by clicking in the space directly under
your don't come bet within the narrow, uppermost bar. This bar
is above the box that corresponds to the come point: "4,
5, six, 8, nine, or 10". A winning don't come odds bet pays
true odds: 1 to 2 on a roll of 4 or 10, 2 to 3 on a roll of 5
or 9, and 5 to 6 on a roll of 6 or 8. An unresolved don't come
odds bet may be removed.
Field Bets
A field bet is a bet that the next roll of the dice will be 2,
3, 4, 9, 10, 11, or 12. It is placed in the "FIELD"
bar on the craps table before any roll of the dice. If the next
roll is 3, 4, 9, 10 or 11, the field bet wins even money. If 2
is rolled, the field bet wins 2 to 1. If 12 is rolled, the field
bet wins 3 to 1. If 5, 6, 7, or 8 is rolled, the field bet is
lost.
Big 6 and Big 8 Bets
A big 6 bet is a bet that 6 will be rolled before 7. Equally,
a big 8 bet is a bet that 8 will be rolled before 7. A big 6 or
a big 8 bet is placed in either the "6" or "8"
box which is located in the left corner of the craps table. A
big 6 or big 8 bet wins even money if the shooter rolls a 6 or
8 before rolling 7. Unresolved Big 6 and big 8 bets may be removed.
Place Bets
There are two types of place bets:
A place win bet is a bet that either 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10 will
be rolled before a 7. A place win bet is placed in the narrow,
unlabeled bar located just under the box with the corresponding
number on the craps table: "4, 5, six, 8, nine, or 10".
Winning place win bets are paid according to the following ratios:
7 to 6 on numbers 6 and 8, 7 to 5 on numbers 5 and 9, and 9 to
5 on numbers 4 and 10.
A place lose bet is a bet that 7 will be rolled before either
4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10. A place lose bet is placed in the right-hand
side of the narrow, unlabeled bar located just above the box with
the corresponding number on the craps table: "4, 5, six,
8, nine, or 10". Winning place lose bets are paid according
to the following ratios: 4 to 5 on numbers 6 and 8, 5 to 8 on
numbers 5 and 9, and 5 to 11 on numbers 4 and 10.
Buy Bets
A buy bet is a bet that either 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10 will be rolled
before 7. A buy bet is placed in the box (labeled "BUY")
corresponding to the number on the craps table: "4, 5, six,
8, nine, or 10". A vigorish (vig.) of 5% is charged on your
profit from this bet. Buy bet winnings are then paid at true odds:
6 to 5 on numbers 6 and 8, 3 to 2 on numbers 5 and 9, and 2 to
1 on numbers 4 and 10.
Lay Bets
A lay bet is essentially the reverse of a buy bet. A lay bet
is a bet that 7 will be rolled before 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10. The
lay bet is placed in the top bar (labeled "LAY") above
the box corresponding to the number on the craps table: "4,
5, six, 8, nine, or 10". A vigorish (vig.) of 5% is charged
on your profit from this bet. Lay bet winnings are then paid at
true odds: 5 to 6 on numbers 6 and 8, 2 to 3 on numbers 5 and
9, and 1 to 2 on numbers 4 and 10. Unresolved lay bets may be
removed.
Any 7 Bets
An "any 7" bet is a bet that the next roll of the dice
will be a 7. It is placed on any roll of the dice in the "SEVEN"
field on the craps table. If 7 is rolled, you win 4 times your
bet.
Any Craps Bets
An "any craps" bet is a bet that the next roll of the
dice will be 2, 3, or 12. It is placed on any roll of the dice
in the "ANY CRAPS" field on the craps table. If 2, 3,
or 12 is rolled, you win 7 times your bet.
Horn Bets
A horn bet is a bet that the next roll of the dice will be either
2, 3, 11, or 12. It is placed on any roll of the dice in the box
on the craps table containing the two illustrated dice that add
up to either 2, 3, 11, or 12. A winning horn bet pays 15 to 1
on numbers 3 and 11 and 30 to 1 on numbers 2 and 12.
Hardway Bets
A hardway bet is a bet that the shooter will roll either a 4,
6, 8, or 10 as doubles (2+2, 3+3, 4+4, or 5+5) before rolling
a 7. The hardway bet is placed in the box on the craps table containing
the two illustrated dice corresponding to the number. Rolling
a number by doubles is said to be rolling the number "the
hard way." For example, a roll of 4+4 is a called a "hard
8," while a roll of 5+3 or 6+2 is called an "easy 8."
A winning hardway bet pays 7 to 1 on numbers 4 and 10 and 9 to
1 on numbers 6 and 8. If you roll an "easy" before rolling
a "hard" you lose your bet. Unresolved hardway bets
may be removed.
