Online casinos are one of such ways. In recent years they have become extremely popular, especially amongst people interested in live betting.

What are the Craps?

It is a game, in which the player has to predict an outcome of the roll of a pair of dice. The rules can be customized, allowing the participants to decide, for example, how many rolls are necessary to determine the outcome of the game. When playing at a casino, players can also put wagers on the outcome.

If you want to start playing, the easiest and most obvious choice would be registering at online casino platform. Not only can you play for real money, you can actually do this from the comfort of your home. Additionally, any respectable casino will allow you to play a free demo session before you decide to bet your money.

How to play Craps?

• Pick the dice

Choose a set of two six-sided dice. Now you become a “shooter”.

• Decide on the bet

The shooter must now make a Pass Line bet. (If there are other players participating besides the shooter and the clerk, they also may make a bet). If the roll is on 7 or 11, the people who betted „pass” win. If the roll is on 2, 3 or 12, the people who betted „don’t pass” win. Any of these two outcomes will automatically end the round.

• The Game starts

In case the come-out roll ends on any other number, the game continues, and that number becomes „point” for the shooter, who must roll the dice again. His goal is now to roll „the point” number again, before rolling a 7. The shooter must NOT roll out a 7 before rolling out the point number, as this is called „sevening out” and is considered an error. If he manages to roll the point number and 7, all the pass betters are considered winners, however if he fails, all pass betters will lose the round.

Types of Craps

Aside from the pass line bet, there are a variety of other bets you may make when playing. Some interesting bets that people make in a game of online Craps are:

1. Place bet

In this bet, the player assumes that the roll will end with a number of their choice before the shooter rolls out a 7.

2. Preposition Bets

This is a group of bets that have a very high house edge, which means that if you play with real money, you can potentially earn a very high reward, but they can also be very risky as you may lose a big amount. The most popular bets are „Ace Deuce”, which pays 15 to 1 if the shooter rolls out a 3, „Snake Eyes”, in which the casino pays 30 to 1 if the shooter rolls out a 2, and „Horn” - a multiple choice bet where the player assumes the next number to be rolled out is either 2,3,11 or 12. The wager is split between numbers, which means that if you bet $20, $5 will go on each of the numbers. 3 and 11 pay 15:1, while 2 and 12 pay 30:1.
