How to Play Craps
Although it can seem complicated, the truth is Craps can be enjoyed at any level of expertise. Let us show you some basic rules of the game.
The easiest wager is the Pass Line bet: first wait until the dealer turns the big hockey puck to “OFF”, which means that a new round is about to start. Once the puck goes to OFF, put your chips on the area marked as the Pass Line. The shooter then picks up the dice to roll them. The first roll of a round is called the Come-Out roll, and here’s what happens depending on what is rolled:
7 or 11- You win! The shooter then rolls another Come Out roll.
2, 3, or 12-You lose. The shooter then rolls another Come Out roll.
4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10-Enter the Point round. So, you’re either going to win, lose, or go to the Point round.
If you win, the dealer will pay you the amount of your bet. For example: if you’d bet a $5 chip, they’ll give you another $5 chip. If you lose, then they’ll take your chip away. If you didn’t win or lose right away, then you go to the Point round, and the dealer turns the hockey puck to ON and places it on the number that was rolled (4,5,6,8,9, or 10). That number is called the Point. Now you’ll win if the shooter rolls the Point again, and you’ll lose if he rolls a 7 first. Rolling a 7 before rolling the point again is called “sevening out”.
While you are trying to roll the point, you can bet on the place bets (4, 5, 6, 8, 9, and 10), hard ways, fill and proposition bets.
You could go play craps now with what you’ve already learned. And in fact, by just making the Pass Line bet you are ready to go! But if you really want to get deeper inside the action, our friendly dealers and supervisors will be happy to help you.
So now that you’re ready for a “Hot Streak”, you can understand why we LIVE TO PLAY…
