Mastering The Game Of Casino Craps

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

Every beginner should exclusively focus on the Pass Line wager when starting out.


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

What Happens After the Point is Set?

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.

Maximizing Your Craps Winnings

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.
