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

Once you understand the basic mechanics, it quickly becomes the most thrilling game in the house.

The Most Important Craps Bet

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

If the shooter rolls a 7 or 11 on the come-out roll, your Pass Line bet wins immediately.

• Roll 7 or 11 to win instantly
• Roll 2, 3, or 12 to lose instantly
• Any other number establishes a "Point"

What Happens After the Point is Set?

Once the Point is set, the objective of the game completely changes for the shooter.

The shooter must now roll that exact same Point number again before rolling a 7.

Taking Odds Behind the Line

The Odds bet is incredibly special because the casino holds absolutely zero mathematical edge on it.

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.
