The craps table is undoubtedly the loudest, most energetic, and most intimidating area on any casino floor.

You do not need to memorize every single bet on the board to have a fantastic time playing craps.

The Most Important Craps Bet

Almost everyone at the table plays the Pass Line, as it represents betting with the shooter to win.

On the very first roll (the Come Out roll), your Pass Line bet wins instantly if the shooter throws a 7 or 11.

• If any other number is rolled (4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10), that number becomes the ‘Point’
• Once the point is established, the shooter must roll that exact number again before rolling a 7 to win
• If a 7 rolls before the point, the game ends, everyone loses, and the dice pass to the next player

Crucial Craps Etiquette

Because the game is so fast-paced and physical, strict etiquette rules must be followed to keep things moving safely.

Never let your hands dangle over the felt; if the dice hit your hand and ‘seven out’, the entire table will blame you.

Do not be afraid to tell the dealers you are new; they are usually very helpful and will guide you through the bets.
