Mastering The Game Of Casino Craps

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


Once you understand the basic mechanics, it quickly becomes the most thrilling game in the house.

How to Bet the Pass Line

Every beginner should exclusively focus on the Pass Line wager when starting out.


If the shooter rolls a 7 or 11 on the come-out roll, your Pass Line bet wins immediately.

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

Once a Point is established, you can make an additional wager called "Taking Odds."


Because it pays true mathematical odds, it is the only bet in the casino without a house advantage.
