Mastering the Game of Casino Craps

To the uninitiated, the craps table is easily the most intimidating spot on the casino floor.

However, beneath the shouting and flying dice lies one of the most exciting games available.

Understanding the Pass Line Bet

The core of craps revolves almost entirely around the fundamental Pass Line bet.

You place this bet before the "come-out roll," which is the very first roll of a new round.

• Always bet the Pass Line on a new shooter
• Avoid the complex middle-table propositions
• Wait for the puck to say "OFF" to bet

Establishing and Hitting the Point

If any other number (4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10) is rolled, that number becomes the "Point."

If a 7 is rolled before the Point, the bet loses, and the round is completely over.

Taking Odds Behind the Line

Once a Point is established, you can make an additional wager called "Taking Odds."

Because it pays true mathematical odds, it is the only bet in the casino without a house advantage.

Craps offers an unbeatable combination of social excitement and incredibly low house edges.
