Casino craps rules

The craps table has high boards to prevent the dice from falling off the table. Note that at land-based casinos it’s the player who throws the dice, which adds excitement to the game. The craps table has a special layout. A felt cloth offers various betting options. Usually, players can choose among more than 10 betting possibilities. Online craps is played with two standard six-sided dice. Craps online is played in rounds. Each round consists of two phases. The first roll is called Come Out roll. If the come out roll is 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10, this number becomes the Point. If the shooter throws 2, 3, 7, 11 or 12, the round ends. Once the Point is known, the dealer turns the button to the ‘On.’ During the Point phase, the shooter rolls the dice till they roll the Point or Seven.

Online craps strategy

As the player does not make any significant decisions during the game, craps online does not have the optimal winning strategy. The only thing the player needs to do is to pick the right bet. As already mentioned, such bets include Pass Line/Come with 1.41% house edge and Don’t Pass/Don’t Come with 1.36% house edge. Furthermore, you can place an Odds bet in addition to your original bet. The best thing about Odds bets is that the casino does not have any advantage! Note that you cannot place an Odds bet per se. Moreover, the size of this bet is limited. For example, casinos online running on PlayTech and Microgaming software limit Odds bets to 3 times the original bet. If you place a Don’t Pass or Don’t Come bet and the maximum Odds bet, you can bring down the house edge to just 0.45%! This is the top profitable casino craps bet. House edge varies heavily across different online craps bets, from 1.52% for Place 6/Place 8 to 11.11% for Hard 4/Hard 10.
