How to Play Online Craps

Bets

There are several areas to bet on when playing this casino game. The most common are the Passline Bet, the Don’t Pass bet, the Odds and the Come Bet.

Passline Bet

You place your bet on the area marked Passline.  In the first roll of the dice, if you roll a 7 or an 11 you win but if you roll a 2, 3 or 12 you lose. You will notice that at the corner of the screen there is a little black circle, it is called the Puk. As long as you keep on rolling a 7 or 11 the Puk will stay off.

Don’t Pass Bet

A Don’t Pass Bet is betting on the Craps, these are the 2, 3 and 12. You place your bet in the area written Don’t Pass Bet. You win if the shooter throws a 2 or a 3. If you roll a 12, it’s a tie. You lose if you roll a 7 or 11.

Come Bets

If in the first roll of the dice, you roll 4, 6, 8, 9 or 10, the Puk will flip over to “On”.  These are called Box Point numbers. You can roll any of those numbers to keep on playing the game.  Placing a Come bet is betting that any other number that wasn’t rolled first will come.

Odds

Betting on Odds is betting that the number that turned the Puk on will appear. This bet has no house edge and pays 2:1.
