Unfortunately, such a great game as craps has been unfairly deprived of attention at casinos in some countries. This happens primarily due to the insufficient development of the local traditions of dice games and the unwillingness to promote craps among players. At the same time, it enjoys immense popularity worldwide since any other game can't allow releasing emotions and going wild. Precisely at the craps table, you can see an emotional chute-the-chute and succumb to the general euphoria.
However, the loud exclamations and incomprehensible terms prevent those interested in mastering this mysterious game from craps. They do not know how to enter the bustling and fast-moving gameplay and are afraid to attract the attention of others. Many visitors to casinos would like to learn how to play craps, but they are scared to get started. Even the idea of approaching the table becomes unbearable for them.
Nevertheless, craps is a straightforward and highly profitable game for casino visitors. With a few simple rules, you'll be able to play even more successfully than local habits. Firstly, you should master the basic principles and learn how to make Pass Line bets.
The game has roughly four dozen different bets, but you do not need to know all of them to enjoy the gameplay and have a good chance of winning.
This resembles the situation with roulette. Almost everyone knows how to play it, but a few know, for example, how to make sector bets. Moreover, some bets in craps provide players with such low odds that they should be avoided. So, start playing craps with Pass Line bets.
Pass Line Bet in Craps
This is the most popular bet in craps. It is based on the following principle: this bet is made before the new shooter enters the game.
- You will win if he rolls 7 or 11.
- You will lose if he rolls 2, 3, or 12.
Any other score (4, 5, 6, 8, or 9) is announced as a point. In this situation, the same player rolls the dice till a point (you win) or a seven (you lose) comes up.
To clarify the situation, we will give an example. The player rolls 2 and 3 which makes 5. This number is now called point. Then he rolls until 5 or 7 comes up. If 5 comes up, you will win according to the 1:1 multiplier. Yet, if he rolls 7 first, you will lose your bet.
If you win, you will perform the shooter's role in the next round. If you lose, another visitor will become the shooter.
Odds Bets in Craps
As soon as the point is set, you have the opportunity to make side bets on the rolled score. Payouts for these bets differ from each other.
- 4 or 10 is paid 2:1,
- 5 or 9 is paid 3:2,
- 6 or 8 is paid 6:5.
The Pass Line bet is the easiest way to start playing this game and become familiar with the gameplay. When you feel comfortable at the table, you will be able to expand your range of bets. But you should first become more familiar with the odds of winning provided by each of them.
