The Basics: How to Play Craps
Craps is played on a large, felt-covered table with two dice involved. The objective of the game is to bet on the outcome of the roll, known as a "point." The game begins with the "come-out roll," where the shooter (the player rolling the dice) attempts to establish a point by rolling a 7 or 11. If the shooter rolls a 2, 3, or 12, they lose the bet immediately. Any other number becomes the point.
After the point is established, the shooter continues rolling the dice until they either:
- Roll the point again: This is a winning roll for any bets made on the point.
- Roll a 7: This is a losing roll for any bets made on the point (known as "sevening out").
Betting Options in Craps
Craps offers a wide range of betting options, each with its own odds and payouts. Here are some of the most common bets:
- Pass Line Bet: This bet is made before the come-out roll and pays out if the shooter establishes and rolls the point again.
- Don't Pass Line Bet: This bet is also made before the come-out roll and pays out if the shooter fails to establish a point or sevens out.
- Come Bet: Similar to the pass line bet, but made after the come-out roll.
- Don't Come Bet: Similar to the don't pass line bet, but also made after the come-out roll.
- Field Bet: This bet pays out if the shooter rolls a 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11, or 12.
- Proposition Bets: These bets offer higher payouts but have lower odds, such as betting on specific numbers or combinations.
Strategies for Winning Craps
While craps is ultimately a game of chance, there are certain strategies you can employ to increase your chances of winning:
- Manage your bankroll: Set a budget and stick to it. Never bet more than you can afford to lose.
- Choose your bets wisely: Understand the odds and payouts of each bet before placing it.
- Bet on the don't pass line: This bet has a lower house edge than the pass line bet.
- Take advantage of the odds: The casino offers odds on certain bets, which can improve your payouts.
- Play with a group: Craps is a social game, and playing with friends can make the experience more enjoyable.
Tips for Beginners
If you're new to craps, here are a few tips to get you started:
- Learn the lingo: Craps has its own unique vocabulary, so familiarize yourself with terms like "point," "seven out," and "field."
- Start small: Don't bet large amounts until you're comfortable with the game.

- Have fun: Craps should be an enjoyable experience, so don't take it too seriously.
