Mastering the Game of Casino Craps

To the uninitiated, the craps table is easily the most intimidating spot on the casino floor.

Despite its complex appearance, the fundamental rules of craps are surprisingly straightforward.

How to Bet the Pass Line

The core of craps revolves almost entirely around the fundamental Pass Line bet.

Conversely, if the dice show a 2, 3, or 12, the bet loses instantly, which is called "crapping out."

• The Pass Line has a very low house edge
• It is the most common bet on the table
• Winning on the come-out roll doubles your money

Establishing and Hitting the Point

If any other number (4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10) is rolled, that number becomes the "Point."

If the shooter successfully hits the Point before a 7, your Pass Line bet wins.

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.

Don't let the noise intimidate you; step up to the table and enjoy the thrill of the dice.
