Craps - 3x, 4x, 5x odds

Whether you’re a beginner or expert, Craps is one of the most exciting and popular casino games. Craps allows players a great chance to win and is usually the game of cheers. Craps has many rules and variations of the game, but can be learned quickly. The game begins by a player or “shooter” throwing two dice. The first roll of the dice is called the “Come Out Roll.”

Craps Terms

Pass Line: If a bet is placed on the pass line and a 7 or 11 is rolled, you win. If a 2, 3 or 12 comes up, you lose. If any other numbers are rolled, they are known as the “point.” If the shooter rolls his point before he rolls a 7, you roll even money. If a 7 is rolled before the point is rolled, you and the dice are given to the next shooter.

Don’t Pass: The opposite of the “Pass Line.” If a 3 or 12 is rolled, you win. If a 2 is rolled, you tie. You lose your bet if a 7 or 11 is rolled. Any other rolled number is the “Point.”

Come: Bets can be placed on the “Come Line” at anytime after the first roll or point is made. This is the same as betting the “pass line,” and pays even money. The player wins if a 7 is rolled before the point is rolled.

Don’t Come: This is the opposite of the “Come Line” bet; this also pays even money. To win, a 3 or 12 must be rolled. A 2 is a tie. A roll of a 7 or 11 is a loser. Any other number rolled is the “Point.”

Field Bets: A one-roll bet that may be placed at any time. To win, the shooter must throw a 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11, or 12. 2 pays double odds and all other numbers pay even. 12 pays triple.

Big 6 or 8: This bet may be placed or taken off at any time during the game. It is an even money wager. A 6 or 8 must be rolled before a 7 for the player to win.

Any Craps: This is a one-roll bet that may be placed anytime. If a 2, 3 or 12 is rolled on the roll you placed your bet on, you win 7 times your bet.

Any 7: This is a one-roll bet that may be placed at any time. If a 7 is rolled on the roll you placed your bet on, you win 4 times your bet.

Any 11: This is a one-roll bet that may be placed at any time. If an 11 is rolled on the roll you have your bet on, you win 15 times your bet.

Place Bets: The player places bets on 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10. The “Place Bet” will win if one of those numbers is rolled before a 7 is rolled. These bets may be decreased or increased, called off or taken off at any time. These bets are off on the “Come Out Roll”.

Bet The Horn: This is a one-roll bet that may be placed at any time. The player is betting that a 2, 3, 11, or 12 will be rolled on that roll.

Hard Ways: A player may bet any or all four
combinations of hard ways; A Hard 4 (two 2s), Hard 6 (two 3s), Hard 8 (two 4s), Hard 10 (two 5s). If a 7 or any other combination of these numbers come up, the house wins.
