Online Craps Guide & Strategies

Craps is a fun and socially rewarding game to play that is best played online. You can practice from the comfort of your own home until you are ready to go out and play at real land based casinos.

A table of craps can take up to a maximum of 20 players each taking it turn in turn to throw the dice. With craps, dice are used on the craps table. The game has strict rules for the dice, which are used for only eight hours before being replaced with new ones. Players can hold the dice only using one hand and the dice must hit the side or wall opposite the player throwing the dice. Players can watch other players and then bet on the turn out, if they wish.

Below are the different bets that a player can choose to make:

Pass Line Bet: In a ‘pass line bet’, the player wins if seven or eleven (which is known as natural) is rolled on the initial or come out roll. But if a 2, 3 or 12 (which is known as craps) is rolled, the player loses the bet.

Come Bet: A ‘come bet’ is similar to a ‘pass line bet’ with the difference that this bet is allowed only after the points are determined.

Don’t Come Bet: With a ‘don’t come bet’ the rules are reversed from a ‘come bet’ and a player can bet only after the points are declared.

Don’t Pass Line Bet: The ‘don’t pass line bet’ is the opposite to the ‘pass line bet’ where a player wins with scrap numbers, i.e. 2,3 and 12, but loses with a natural point.

Odds On Pass Line Bet: An ‘odds on pass line bet’ is where a point is rolled out and players are allowed to place an extra bet on it. The payouts of the points in this bet are different and in correspondence to the game.

Odds On Come Bet: This is the same as a ‘odds on pass line’, but an ‘odds on come bet’ can only be made on come bets.

Field Bet: A ‘field bet’ is allowed on rolls of a single dice.

Big Six/Eight Bets: These bets are allowed on big six/eight in craps.

Proposition Bets: ‘Proposition bets’ can be made anytime but the hardways.
