To the uninitiated, the craps table is easily the most intimidating spot on the casino floor.
Once you understand the basic mechanics, it quickly becomes the most thrilling game in the house.
The Most Important Craps Bet
Every beginner should exclusively focus on the Pass Line wager when starting out.
If the shooter rolls a 7 or 11 on the come-out roll, your Pass Line bet wins immediately.
- Roll 7 or 11 to win instantly
- Roll 2, 3, or 12 to lose instantly
- Any other number establishes a "Point"
Establishing and Hitting the Point
If any other number (4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10) is rolled, that number becomes the "Point."
If a 7 is rolled before the Point, the bet loses, and the round is completely over.
The Best Bet in the Casino
The Odds bet is incredibly special because the casino holds absolutely zero mathematical edge on it.
Because it pays true mathematical odds, it is the only bet in the casino without a house advantage.
| Bet | House Edge | When to Play |
|---|---|---|
| Pass Line | 1.41% | Come-Out Roll |
| Odds Bet | 0.00% | After Point is Set |
Don't let the noise intimidate you; step up to the table and enjoy the thrill of the dice.
