What is Craps?

Rules of Craps

There are some basic Craps rules to get to grips with before you start to play. The player who throws the dice is called the shooter. They begin the game by rolling a pair of dice. This ‘come-out roll’ has three possible outcomes:

Natural

Outcome is 7 or 11. You win and roll again.

Craps

Outcome is 2, 3, or 12. You lose this time but get another chance to roll.

Point

Outcome is 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10. This is called a point. To win, you need to roll the dice again and get the same sum.

Bets in Craps

There are various types of bets to play in Craps. What you choose depends on your level of experience and expertise.

Pass Line

You bet on the shooter to pass (or win). You win if they roll either a 7 or 11. If the shooter rolls 2, 3, or 12, you lose. Any number other than these is designated as the point. If that number is rolled again, you win. But if a 7 is rolled before that, you lose.
