Craps Online
Available at many, if not all, land based and online casinos, the game of Craps is very popular with gamblers all over the world. Normally at a land based casino you will find as many as four people working the table and up to twenty players, all trying to win. Most online craps games don’t have a live dealer but many still give you the opportunity to play with other people.
The game of craps is played with two dice, and the goal is to roll a specific numbered combination. If the shooter rolls a 2, 3, 7, 11, or a 12, then this round is over. If the shooter rolls other numbers then this becomes the “point” and they have to continue rolling until they again match this number, or hit a 7.
As with all gambling how much you win depends on how much and the type of bet you choose to make, as there are different odds depending on how you place your wager.
The two main types of bets are Pass Line and Don’t Pass Line wagers. With a Pass Line wager you can win in 2 ways. If the shooter’s come the roll out is a 7 or 11 you will automatically win. If the shooter rolls a point on the come the roll out and hits that same number before he rolls a 7 then again you win, but if they roll a seven before hitting the point number you lose your bet. If you are making this kind of bet and the shooter rolls a 2, 3, or a 12, then you also automatically lose.
Now, with the Don’t Pass the bet it is really just the opposite with the exception that a 12 is normally a tie. Depending on what casino you play at you may even find that a 2 is tie, but it varies from place to place and doesn’t change the odds at all. So it comes down to the shooter rolling a 2 or 3 for a win and 7 or 11 is a loss. Also if the shooter rolls a point, he must roll a 7 before hitting that point number again in order to make it a win.
There are also other kinds of bets that can be made in craps including a Come Bet and a Don’t Come Bet, which are the same as the first two bets mentioned, except the wager can be made any time after the come the roll out.
A Place Bet is where you basically pick your own point number, no matter what happens with the come the roll out. With this kind of bet you have the option of removing your wager at any time (unlike with the Pass the bet, and Don’t Pass the bet).
Another kind of wager is the Field Bet, which is a single roll wager where if they come the roll out is a 2-4 or 9-12 you win, and if it is a 5-8 you lose.
