Craps Rules
Objective of Craps
The object of Craps is to predict the outcome of a roll of
the dice.
Placing Bets
To place a chip on the table, move the mouse pointer to
that part of the table where you want to put the chip and
press the LEFT MOUSE BUTTON. This will put a chip on the
table at your chosen position.
To increase the value of your bet,
keep the mouse pointed at the same spot and continue to
press the LEFT MOUSE BUTTON. Each time you press the LEFT
MOUSE BUTTON, the count number inside the chip will
increase, showing you the value of the chip that you have
placed in that position.
To decrease the value of a chip on
the table, press the RIGHT MOUSE BUTTON. When your chip
value is 0, it will automatically be removed from the
table. You can use this method to remove chips that you no
longer want on the table. Click on the chip with the RIGHT
MOUSE BUTTON until it disappears.
Helpful Hint
To speed up the placing of your bets on the table, press
the CTRL or the SHIFT key when pressing the left or right
mouse button. When the CTRL key is held down, the chip
value will increase/decrease with each mouse click by an
amount of 5 credits. The SHIFT key has a similar effect
except it results in an increase/decrease of 20 credits!
Types of Bets
There are several types of bets that can be placed on the
craps table:
The Pass line Bet This is the most
popular bet at the Craps Table. A wager on the Pass Line
wins if the first roll of the dice (the Come Out Roll) is
a 7 or 11 and loses if a 2, 3 or 12 is rolled first. If a
4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10 is rolled, that number becomes the
Point. To win the bet, the player (or shooter) must repeat
the Point before a 7 is rolled. If the Shooter rolls a 7
before the Point is repeated, the Pass Line bet loses. A
winning bet is paid even money. Once the point has been
established, this bet may not be removed or altered.
The Don't Pass Bet This bet is the
opposite of the Pass Line bet. This bet wins if the
shooter rolls a 2 or 3 on the Come Out roll and loses
immediately if a 7 or 11 is rolled on the Come Out. If a
12 is rolled, it's a tie and play continues. Once the
point has been established, this bet wins if the shooter
rolls a 7 before the point is repeated
The Come Bet Come Bets may be
wagered after the point has been established on the Come
Out roll. The rules for this bet are the same as the Pass
Line bet. If the shooter rolls a 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10
after a Come Bet has been placed, the dealer will move the
Come Bet from the Come area to the corresponding box for
that particular number. Just as with the Pass Line bet,
this wager may not be reduced or removed until play is
completed. A winning wager is paid even money.
The Don't Come Bet This bet is the
opposite of the Come Bet. It may be wagered any time after
the point has been established on the Come Out Roll. If a
4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10 is rolled after a Don't Come Bet has
been placed, the dealer will move the wager from the Don't
Come area to the corresponding box for that particular
number. The rules for winning are the same as the Don't
Pass Bet. A winning wager is paid even money.
Odds Bet This is an additional bet
made on a Pass, Don't Pass, Come or Don't Come Bet that
has already been placed. Odds bets can only be made once
the point has been established. The advantage of an odds
bet is that it is paid out at the correct odds.
Win Bet Place Bets to Win can be
made at any time on numbers 4,5,6,8,9,or 10. Shooter wins
if the place number is rolled before a 7; otherwise it
loses.
Lose Bet Is opposite to a place bet
to Win. Shooter wins if 7 is rolled before the place
number; otherwise, if the Place number is rolled first,
the shooter loses.
Field Bet This is a bet on the
outcome of the next throw. It pays even money if a
3,4,9,10 or 11 is thrown and double if a 2 or 12 is
thrown.
Hardways Bet Whenever a shooter
rolls doubles and the outcome is a 4, 6, 8 or 10 the
shooter is said to have hit the number the "hard
way," that is, by rolling doubles. If any of these
same numbers are rolled and the outcome is not doubles,
the shooter is said to have hit the number the "easy
way." Example: If the shooter rolls a pair of 4's he
has a Hard 8, or 8 the Hardway; if the shooter rolls a 6
and 2 he has an 8 the Easy Way. A Hard 10 would be a pair
of 5's, while 10 the "easy way" would be a 6 and
4.
Possible Hardway bets are 4, 6, 8 or
10. A Hardway bet wins when the shooter rolls a number the
Hardway. A Hardway Bet loses if the shooter rolls a number
the Easy Way or if the shooter rolls a 7.
Any Seven This is a bet on the
outcome of the next throw. It pays 5 for 1 (4 to 1) if a
seven is made in the next throw.
Any Craps This is a bet on the
outcome of the next throw. It pays 8 for 1 (7 to 1) if a
2, 3 or 12 is made in the next throw.
Craps Two This is a bet on the
outcome of the next throw. It pays 30 to 1 if a 2 is made
in the next throw.
Craps Twelve This is a bet on the
outcome of the next throw. It pays 30 to 1 if a 12 is made
in the next throw.
Craps Three This is a bet on the
outcome of the next throw. It pays 15 to 1 if a 3 is made
in the next throw.
Eleven This is a bet on the outcome
of the next throw. It pays 15 to 1 if an 11 is made in the
next throw.
Horn This is a single roll bet on
any craps (2,3 or 12) and 11. Odds are paid out
accordingly.
Betting Details
To the right of the 'Roll the Dice' button are your
betting details: the total value of chips you currently
have on the table and the total payout you received on the
last throw.
Rolling the Dice
Once you have placed your bets on the table, press the
'Roll the Dice' button. This will set the dice rolling.
When they come to rest, the game will automatically
highlight the winning single roll and Hardway combinations
(except for the field bet).
When a Point is established, the
relevant chips on the Pass and Don't Pass lines will be
moved to their respective positions above or below the
relevant number and will turn red. The red chip indicates
that it cannot be removed from the table. Come and Don't
Come bets are treated similarly.
Players cannot roll the dice unless
they have at least 1 credit on the table.

Clicking on the box in which the red
