Craps is an easy, exciting game and it offers so many different ways to win! After the bets are placed, the shooter rolls the dice. You win according to your betting option and what comes up, or what numbers are shown on the dice. It’s as easy as that.

Here are your betting options:

Pass Line: You win even money on 7 or 11, and lose on 2, 3 or 12 on the first roll, known as the come out roll. Any other number that comes up becomes the point. If your point comes up again before a 7 is rolled, you win even money. Once a Pass Line bet is made, the bet cannot be picked up until a win or lose decision is reached.

Don't Pass Line: This is the opposite of the Pass Line bet. You win on 2 or 3 and lose on 7 or 11 on the first roll. If 12 comes up, it's a Push (tie) and no one wins. Any other number that comes up is the point. You win if 7 is rolled before the point comes up again. This bet will pay even money. Unlike a Pass Line bet, a Don't Pass Line bet can be picked up by the player before a win or lose decision is reached.

Hard Ways: There are Four Hard way combinations: Hard Four (Two 2s), Hard Six (Two 3s), Hard Eight (Two 4s), and Hard Ten (Two 5s). So, if you bet on Hard Six, you win if a pair of 3s comes up before a 7 or before an Easy Six (5 & 1 or 4 & 2).  Remember, Hard Six and Hard Eight pays 9-to-1; Hard Four and 10 pays 7-to-1.

Horn Bet: This is a one-roll bet that can be made anytime. You bet on a combination of these four numbers: 2, 3, 11 and 12. If any of these numbers comes up on that roll, you win. Three and 11 pay 15-to-1 and 2 and 12 pay 30-to-1.

Buy Bets: You can place bets on 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 and 10 and get actual odds in exchange for a five per cent charge on the bet amount. You win when the number is rolled before a 7 after the come out roll.

Lay Bets: These are the opposite of Buy Bets, and the five per cent charge is on the amount you could win not on the amount you bet.

Place Bets: These are bet on 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 and 10. You win when your number is rolled before a 7 after the come out roll. Roll a 4–10 and it pays 9-to-5, roll 5–9 and it pays 7-to-5. And 6-8 pays 7-to-6.

Come: You can bet on the come anytime after the first roll. This is an even-money bet and the same rules apply as for Pass Line betting.

Don’t Come: You can bet the Don’t Come anytime after the first roll. This is an even-money bet and the same rules apply as for Don’t Pass line betting.

Field: A one-roll bet that can be made anytime. If a 3, 4, 9, 10 or 11 is rolled, you win even money. If a 2 or a 12 is rolled, you’re paid double for your bet.

Any 7: A one-roll bet that can be made anytime. When 7 comes up on that roll you are paid 4-to-1.

Any Craps: A one-roll bet that can be made anytime. You win on 2, 3 or 12 and are paid 7 to 1.
