The craps table is undoubtedly the loudest, most energetic, and most intimidating area on any casino floor.
Once you understand the basic flow of the game, the intimidating layout starts to make perfect sense.
Understanding the Pass Line Bet
Almost everyone at the table plays the Pass Line, as it represents betting with the shooter to win.
However, if the shooter rolls a 2, 3, or 12 on that first throw, it is called ‘crapping out’ and you lose the bet.
- Betting the Pass Line means you are cheering for the same outcome as the vast majority of the table
- The camaraderie of everyone winning together is what makes craps so uniquely exciting
- Keep your strategy simple: bet the Pass Line, take maximum odds, and enjoy the show
Unwritten Rules of the Craps Table
Because the game is so fast-paced and physical, strict etiquette rules must be followed to keep things moving safely.
The most important rule is to keep your hands completely out of the table area when the dice are being thrown.
| Rule of Etiquette | Why It Matters | Consequence of Breaking It |
|---|---|---|
| Hands up when dice roll | Dice hitting hands alters the roll | You will anger everyone at the table |
| Never say the word ‘Seven’ | It is considered incredibly bad luck | You will be glared at by superstitious players |
Craps is the most social game in the casino, and joining a hot table is an unforgettable experience.
