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

The Pass Line bet is the foundation upon which the entire game of craps is built.


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

Roll 7 or 11 to win instantlyRoll 2, 3, or 12 to lose instantlyAny other number establishes a "Point"
What Happens After the Point is Set?

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.

Maximizing Your Craps Winnings

The Odds bet is incredibly special because the casino holds absolutely zero mathematical edge on it.


Always maximize your Odds bet up to the table limit to reduce the overall house edge.
