Craps Rules

The first roll in a Craps round is called the come out roll. If the dice total is 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10,
then the point is established. A total of 2, 3, 7, 11, or 12 on the come out roll immediately ends
the round. When the point has been established, an ON puck will be placed on the point. After
the point is rolled, the dice will be rolled continuously until the same point is rolled again, or a 7
is rolled.
Pass Line Bets
The pass line bet is placed on the pass line before the come out roll. If a 7 or an 11 is rolled, you
win and the round is done. If a 2, 3, or 12 is rolled, it is craps and you lose. Any other number (4,
5, 6, 8, 9, or 10) becomes the point. You win the pass line bet if the point is rolled before a 7. You
lose the pass line bet if a 7 is rolled before the point. A winning pass line bet pays even money
(1:1).
Dont Pass Line Bets
A dont pass line bet is the opposite of a pass line bet, and is placed on the Dont Pass Bar
before the come out roll. In a dont pass line bet, you are betting that a 7 will be rolled before the
point. You win on the come out roll with craps (2 or 3), and on any other roll with a 7. If the
come out roll is a 12, a dont pass line bet is returned to you in a push. You lose on the come out
roll if it is either a 7 or an 11, and on any other roll if it is the point.
A winning dont pass line bet pays even money (1:1).
Come Bets
To place a come bet, put your chips in the box labeled Come. You win even money if the next
roll is either a 7 or an 11. You lose if the next roll is craps (2, 3, or 12). If the shooter rolls a 4, 5,
6, 8, 9, or 10, then that number becomes the come point, and the come bet is moved from the
COME bar to the box corresponding to the come point. If the shooter rolls the come point
again before rolling a 7, you win the bet. If a 7 is rolled first, you lose the bet. The come bet pays
even money (1:1).
Dont Come Bets
A dont come bet is the opposite of a come bet. It is placed after the come out roll in the Dont
Come Bar on the craps table. If the shooter rolls a 3 or a 2, the dont come bet wins. If the
shooter rolls a 7 or an 11, the dont come bet loses. If the shooter rolls a 12, the bet will be
returned to the player in a push.
If the roll is a 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10, that number becomes the dont come point, and the dont
come bet is moved from the Dont Come Bar to the bar in the upper left corner of the box

corresponding to the dont come point. Once the dont come point is established, dont come bets
win even money (1 to 1) if a 7 is rolled, and lose if the dont come point is rolled.
Odds Bets
An odds bet is a backup bet on a pass, dont pass, come, and dont come bet. Your maximum bet
is three times your original bet. Pass odds and come odds pay 2:1 on a roll of a 4 or a 10, 3:2 on a
roll of a 5 or a 9, and 6:5 on a roll of a 6 or an 8. Dont pass odds pay 1:2 on a roll of a 4 or a 10,
2:3 on a roll of a 5 or a 9, and 5:6 on a roll of a 6 or an 8. Unlike original pass, dont pass, come
and dont come bets, unresolved odds bets can be removed from the table during play.
Pass Line Odds Bets
Place a pass line odds bet by clicking on the craps table outside of the PASS LINE bar, under
your original pass line bet. A winning pass line odds bet pays true odds: 2:1 on a roll of a 4 or a
10, 3:2 on a roll of a 5 or a 9, and 6:5 on a roll of a 6 or an 8.
Dont Pass Line Odds Bets
Place a dont pass line odds bet by clicking on the right side of your original bet in the Dont
Pass Bar, exactly on the 6x6 dice image. A winning dont pass line odds bet pays true odds: 1:2
on a roll of a 4 or a 10, 2:3 on a roll of a 5 or a 9, and 5:6 on a roll of a 6 or an 8.
Come and Dont Come Odds Bets
Come and dont come odds bets are placed beneath the come and dont come bets, after they
have been moved to the points box. A winning come odds bet pays: 2:1 on a roll of a 4 or a 10,
3:2 on a roll of a 5 or a 9, and 6:5 on a roll of a 6 or an 8. A winning dont come odds bet pays:
1:2 on a roll of a 4 or a 10, 2:3 on a roll of a 5 or a 9, and 5:6 on a roll of a 6 or an 8.
Field Bets
A field bet bets that the next roll of the dice will be a 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11, or 12. To place a field bet,
place your chips on the Field bar. If the shooter rolls a 2 or a 12, you get paid double your initial
bet (2:1). If a 3, 4, 9, 10, or 11 comes up, you get paid even money (1:1). You lose the bet if a 5,
6, 7, or 8 is rolled.
Big 6 and Big 8 Bets
Place your chips in the box marked Big 6 or Big 8. If the number you select is rolled before a 7,
you win even money (1:1).
Place Win Bets
Place win bets are made on the following dice totals: 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10. Place your chips in the
box underneath these numbers. You are allowed to make place bets at any time, but the place win

bet is off during the come-out roll. You win if the shooter rolls your number before a seven. The
payouts depend on the number you bet on:
Number Payout:
6 and 8

7:6

5 and 9

7:5

4 and 10 9:5
Place Lose Bets
Place lose bets are just like place win bets, except you are paid if the shooter rolls a seven before
the number you bet on. Place your chips in the box above these numbers. The payouts depend on
the number you bet on:
Number: Payout:
6 and 8

4:5

5 and 9

5:8

4 and 10 5:11
Buy Bets
A buy bet is the same as a place bet with the exception being the payout. Buy bets are off during
the come out roll. To distinguish the buy bet from a come bet, the buy bet is labeled with a
BUY marker. When winning a Buy bet, a 5% commission (vigorish) is charged. Your winnings
are paid at true odds: 6:5 on numbers 6 and 8, 3:2 on numbers 5 and 9, and 2:1 on numbers 4 and
10.
Lay Bets

A lay bet is the opposite of a buy bet. A lay bet is labeled with a LAY marker. It bets that a 7
will be rolled before a 4, 6, 8, 9, or 10. It is a bet against the dice, which means you win if a 7 is
rolled before the number you selected. When winning the Lay bet, a 5% commission (vigorish) is
charged. Lay bet winnings are paid at true odds: 5:6 on numbers 6 and 8, 2:3 on numbers 5 and
9, and 1:2 on numbers 4 and 10.
Any 7 Bets
Place your chips in the area marked Seven. You win this bet if a 7 is rolled next.
This bet pays 4:1.
Any 11 Bets
Place your chips in the box with the two dice that add up to 11. You win this bet if an 11 is rolled
next. If an 11 is rolled, you win 15:1.
Any Craps Bets
In any craps bet, you win if one of the craps numbers (2, 3, or 12) is rolled next. The any craps
bet is placed in the Any Craps box.
This bet pays 7:1.
C & E Bets
The letters C and E represent two different bets:
C bet: This is the same as placing a bet in the Any Craps betting area. Click on the letter C to
place your chips in the Any Craps betting area.
E bet: This is the same as placing an Any 11 bet. Click on the letter E to place your chips in the
Any 11 betting area.
Horn Bets
Place your chips in the box where the two dice add up to 2, 3, 11, or 12. The horn bet wins if the
shooter rolls a 2, 3, 11 or 12 next. A winning horn bet pays 15:1 on the numbers 3 and 11 and
30:1 on numbers 2 and 12.
Hard way Bets
A hard way bet bets that the shooter will roll a 4, 6, 8, or 10 as doubles (2+2, 3+3, 4+4, or 5+5)
before rolling a 7. The hard way bet is placed in the box on the craps table that contains the two
dice that correspond to the total of the doubles. Rolling a number by doubles is said to be rolling
the number the hard way. An example is rolling a 4 with a 2 and a 2. An example of an easy

way is rolling a 4 with a 3 and a 1. A winning hard way bet pays 7:1 on the numbers 4 and 10
and 9:1 on the numbers 6 and 8.
