Official Craps Rules

The first round of craps is referred to as come-out roll. In most casinos, the shooter makes a Pass bet or the Don’t Pass bet. Pass line bets are the winning factors while the Don’t Pass bets are the losing factors. The outcome numbers 2, 3, and 12 become a loss on the pass bet and the round comes to an end in what is known as “crapping out.” The pass bet wins when the outcome is 7 or 11. In some game variations, number 12 represents a tie that ends the round and the bet returns to the player. Outcomes 4,5,6,8,9,and 10 are considered the point numbers.

Understanding the type of bet to make and when to make is critical to playing the game. The first bet is known as the Pass which as bee explained above in the come-out roll section. It is possible to put extra money down behind the pass bet but there will be no house edge. When the player puts additional money for a Don’t Pass Bet, then they are laying the odds. Then there is the Come bet that works in a similar way as the pass bet but can also be used for another roll during the cycle.

The Don’t Come bet is synonymous with the Don’t Pass bet and can be made at any given time except during the first roll. It is the opposite of the Come bet. The Field bet allows the players to roll different dices as winning outcomes. Generally, the player wins if the outcome of the next roll is 3,4,9,10, or 11. Numbers 2 and 12 wins double or triple the bet. Other outcome numbers represent a loss. The Place bet in Craps is represented by numbers 4,5,6,8, and 10. The player bets that one of these outcomes will roll before a 7.

When players stake on hard numbers like 8, it means they are wagering for a specific number to appear. The caveat here is that the number should be divisible by 2. For instance, the outcome 8 can be made by 5 different sums. But a pair of 4s becomes a Hardway Bet. When it comes to Craps payouts, players are expected to understand winnings before figuring out what bet to place. The numbers that roll out are totally out of the player’s control because this is a game of chance. If the player bets that the big 8 and big 6 will roll out next, the only expected pay is 1:1.
