The Different Bets
Before the dice are rolled, bets can be placed in various fields of the Craps Table. First, using your left mouse button, click on the value of the chip you wish to wager. Next, place the chip in the desired betting area on the Craps Table by clicking in the
area, using your left mouse button again. Should you wish to alter or remove a bet,
click on your wagered chips with your right mouse button. Please note that some
bets may not be removed. Once you have finish placing your bets, click on the
"ROLL" button to roll the dice.
Pass Line Bets
A "Pass Line Bet" is placed in the area labeled "PASS LINE," before the Come Out
Roll (i.e. the first roll of the dice in a new Craps round). A wager on the Pass Line
wins if the Come Out Roll is 7 or 11, and loses if 2, 3 or 12 is rolled. If 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or
10 are rolled, that number becomes "The Point." To win a Pass Line Bet, the
shooter must roll The Point again before rolling a 7. If the shooter rolls a 7 before
rolling The Point again, your Pass Line Bet loses. A winning Pass Line Bet pays
even money (1 to 1). Once The Point has been established, unresolved Pass Line
Bets may not be removed or reduced. Pass Line Bets must be resolved by a roll of
The Point or a 7.
Don't Pass Line Bets
A "Don't Pass Line Bet" is essentially the reverse of a Pass Line Bet, and is placed
on the Craps Table in the "DON'T PASS BAR" area, before the Come Out Roll. If
the shooter rolls 2 or 3 on the Come Out Roll, a Don't Pass Line Bet wins. However,
if the Come Out Roll is 7 or 11, all Don't Pass Line Bets lose. If the Come Out Roll is
12, Don't Pass Line Bets are returned to the player, in a Push. If the Come Out Roll
is 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10, that number becomes The Point. Once The Point has been
established, Don't Pass Line Bet win if the shooter rolls a 7 before rolling The Point
again. If the shooter rolls The Point again, before rolling a 7, Don't Pass Line Bets
lose. A winning Don't Pass Line Bet pays even money (1 to 1). Unlike Pass Line
Bets, unresolved Don't Pass Line Bets may be removed or reduced. To remove this
bet click the right mouse button on the chips. If you have placed an Odds Bet as
well, a single right button click will remove the Odds Bet, and an additional click will
remove the Don't Pass Line Bet.
Come Bets
A "Come Bet" is placed in the "COME" bar area, before any roll of the dice, once
The Point has been established by the Come Out Roll. The rules for Come Bets are
essentially the same as Pass Line Bets. Come Bets win if the shooter's next roll is 7
or 11, and lose if the roll is 2, 3, or 12. If the shooter rolls 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10, that
number becomes "The Come Point," and the dealer will move the Come Bet from
the "COME" bar to the box corresponding to the established Come Point: "4, 5, six,
8, nine, or 10". If the shooter rolls the Come Point again, before rolling a 7, the Come
Bet pays even money. The Come Bet will stay in place until the come point, or a 7 is
rolled. Similarly to the Pass Line Bet, unresolved Come Bets may not be removed or
reduced. They must be resolved by a roll of the come point or a 7.
Don't Come Bets
A "Don't Come Bet" is essentially the opposite of a Come Bet, which is placed after
the Come Out Roll in the "DON'T COME" bar area. Don't Come Bets win when the
shooter's next roll is 2 or 3, and lose if the roll is 7 or 11. If the shooter rolls a 12, the
bet will be returned to the player in a Push. If the roll is 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10, that
number becomes "The Come Point," and the dealer will move the Don't Come Bet
from the "Don't Come Bar" to the left corner of the narrow, uppermost bar over the
box corresponding to the Come Point: "4, 5, six, 8, nine, or 10". After the Come
Point is established, Don't Come Bets win even money if 7 is rolled, and lose if the
Come Point is rolled. Don't Come Bets will stay in place until the Come Point, or a 7
is rolled. However, unresolved Don't Come Bets may be removed.
Odds Bets
An "Odds Bet" is a "Back Up" bet on an original Pass Line Bet, Don't Pass Line Bet,
Come Bet, or Don't Come Bet. The maximum Odds Bet is 3.6 times your original bet
on numbers 6 and 8, 4.5 times your original bet on numbers 5 and 9 and 6 times
your original bet on numbers 4 and 10.
Pass Line Odds Bets
Ater the Point has been established, a Pass Line Odds Bet is placed by clicking the
left mouse button on the Craps Table, outside the "PASS LINE" bar, under your
original Pass Line Bet. A winning Pass Line Odds Bet pays true odds: 2 to 1 when
the point is 4 or 10, 3 to 2 when the point is 5 or 9, and 6 to 5 when the point is 6 or
8. Unlike the original Pass Line Bet, an unresolved Pass Line Odds Bet may be
removed.
Don't Pass Line Odds Bets
Once the Point has been established, a "Don't Pass Line Odds Bet" is placed by
clicking your left mouse button anywhere on the "DON'T PASS BAR" area. A
winning Don't Pass Line Odds Bet pays true odds: 1 to 2 when the point is 4 or 10, 2
to 3 when the point is 5 or 9, and 5 to 6 when the point is 6 or 8. An unresolved
Don't Pass Line Odds Bet may be removed by clicking the right mouse button.
Come Odds Bets
Once the Come Point has been established, a "Come Odds Bet" is placed by
clicking your left mouse button directly under your Come Bet, within the box that
corresponds to the Come Point: "4, 5, six, 8, nine, or 10". A winning Come Odds Bet
pays true odds: 2 to 1 when the point is 4 or 10, 3 to 2 when the point is 5 or 9, and
6 to 5 when the point is 6 or 8. Unlike the original Come Bet, an unresolved Come
Odds Bet may be removed.
Don't Come Odds Bets
Once the Come Point has been established, an "Odds Bet" is placed on your "Don't
Come Bet" by clicking in the space directly under your Don't Come Bet, within the
narrow, uppermost bar. This bar is above the box that corresponds to the Come Point: "4, 5, six, 8, nine, or 10". A winning Don't Come Odds Bet pays true odds: 1 to
2 when the point is 4 or 10, 2 to 3 when the point is 5 or 9, and 5 to 6 when the point
is 6 or 8. An unresolved Don't Come Odds bet may be removed.
Field Bets
A "Field Bet" is a bet that the next roll of the dice will be 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11, or 12. It is
placed in the "FIELD" bar area, before any roll of the dice. If the next roll is 3, 4, 9,
10 or 11, the Field Bet wins even money. If 2 is rolled, the Field Bet wins 2 to 1. If 12
is rolled the Field Bet wins 3 to 1. If 5, 6, 7, or 8 is rolled, the Field Bet is lost.
Big 6 and Big 8 Bets
A "Big 6 Bet" is a bet that 6 will be rolled before 7. Equally, a "Big 8 Bet" is a bet that
8 will be rolled before 7. A Big 6 or a Big 8 Bet is placed in either the "6" or "8" box,
which is located in the left corner of the craps table. A Big 6 or Big 8 Bet wins even
money if the shooter rolls a 6 or 8 before rolling 7. Unresolved Big 6 and Big 8 Bets
may be removed.
Place Bets
There are two types of place bets:
1. A "Place Win Bet" is a bet that either 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10 will be rolled before a 7.
A Place Win Bet is placed in the narrow, unlabeled bar located just under the box
with the corresponding number on the Craps Table: "4, 5, six, 8, nine, or 10".
Winning Place Win Bets are paid according to the following ratios: 7 to 6 on
numbers 6 and 8, 7 to 5 on numbers 5 and 9, and 9 to 5 on numbers 4 and 10.
2. A "Place Lose Bet" is a bet that 7 will be rolled before either 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10.
A Place Lose Bet is placed in the right-hand side of the narrow, unlabeled bar
located just above the box with the corresponding number on the craps table: "4, 5,
six, 8, nine, or 10". Winning Place Lose Bets are paid according to the following
ratios: 4 to 5 on numbers 6 and 8, 5 to 8 on numbers 5 and 9, and 5 to 11 on
numbers 4 and 10.
Buy Bets
A "Buy Bet" is a bet that either 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10 will be rolled before 7. A Buy Bet is
placed in the box (labeled "BUY") corresponding to the number on the Craps Table:
"4, 5, six, 8, nine, or 10". A Vigorish (vig.) of 5% is charged on your profit from this
bet. Buy Bet winnings are then paid at true odds: 6 to 5 on numbers 6 and 8, 3 to 2
on numbers 5 and 9, and 2 to 1 on numbers 4 and 10
Lay Bets
A "Lay Bet" is essentially the reverse of a Buy Bet. A Lay Bet is a bet that 7 will be
rolled before 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10. The Lay Bet is placed in the top bar (labeled "LAY"),
above the box corresponding to the number on the Craps Table: "4, 5, six, 8, nine,
or 10". A Vigorish (vig.) of 5% is charged on your profit from this bet. Lay Bet
winnings are then paid at true odds: 5 to 6 on numbers 6 and 8, 2 to 3 on numbers 5
and 9, and 1 to 2 on numbers 4 and 10. Unresolved Lay Bets may be removed.
Any 7 Bets
An "Any 7 Bet" is a bet that the next roll of the dice will be a 7. It is placed on any roll
of the dice, in the "SEVEN" field, on the craps table. If 7 is rolled, you win 4 times
your bet.
Any Craps Bets
An "Any Craps Bet" is a bet that the next roll of the dice will be 2, 3, or 12. It is
placed on any roll of the dice, in the "ANY CRAPS" field on the craps table. If 2, 3, or
12 is rolled, you win 7 times your bet.
Horn Bets
The "Horn Bet" is a one roll bet, by which you are betting that 2, 3, 11 or 12 will
appear on the next roll of the dice. This bet box is placed in the center of the "one
roll" layout.
There are two ways to place a Horn Bet. You may bet on each specific number
individually, or on the group of four numbers as a whole.
To place a bet on a specific number, place your bet in either the 2, 3, 11 or 12 box.
The odds (return) for each number being rolled are clearly marked in each box. For
example, if you bet $1 on the number 2 being rolled next, and win, you will receive
the marked odds of 30 for 1; for a total return of $30.
To place a bet on the Horn group as a whole (2, 3, 11 or 12), place your bet in the
"Horn Bet" box, located in the center of the Horn numbers. If one of the Horn
numbers is rolled next, you will receive the marked odds for the number rolled (either
16 for 1, or 31 for 1), minus 3/4 of the return amount (as the group Horn Bet is four
times more likely to see a return). For example, if you place a $1 bet in the "Horn
Bet" box, and either 2 or 12 is rolled, you will receive the marked odds of 31 for 1,
minus 3/4 of the amount; for a total return of $7.75. If either 3 or 11 is rolled, you will
receive the marked odds of 16 for 1, minus 3/4 of the amount; for a total return of $4.
Hardway Bets
A "Hardway Bet" is a bet that the shooter will roll either a 4, 6, 8, or 10 as doubles
(2+2, 3+3, 4+4, or 5+5) before rolling a 7. The Hardway Bet is placed in the box on
the Craps Table containing the two illustrated dice corresponding to the number.
Rolling a number by doubles is said to be rolling the number "The Hard Way." For
example, a roll of 4+4 is called a "Hard 8," while a roll of 5+3 or 6+2 is called an
"Easy 8." A winning Hardway Bet pays 8 for 1 on numbers 4 and 10 and 10 for 1 on
numbers 6 and 8. If you roll an "Easy" before rolling a "Hard" you lose your bet.
Unresolved Hardway Bets may be removed.
