Craps
This classic casino dice game offers more betting options
than just about any game you can play. Essentially, however, you are
simply betting on the result of a given roll of the virtual dice.
Rules
 You are betting on the number the next roll
of the dice will display or won't display. There are numerous
betting options available but you only need to understand a few of
them to play the game, have fun and win.
Pass Line Bet
The wager is placed on the PASS LINE field. A wager on the
PASS LINE wins if the COME OUT ROLL is a 7 or 11 and loses if a 2, 3
or 12 is rolled first.
If the COME OUT roll is a 4, 5, 6, 8,
9 or 10 the POINT is established. To win the bet, you must repeat
the POINT before a 7 is rolled. If you roll a 7 before the POINT is
repeated, the PASS LINE bet loses.
Once the POINT is
established, the bet may not be removed or changed.
Don't
Pass Bets
The wager is placed on the DON’T PASS BAR field. A
wager on the DON’T PASS BAR wins if the COME OUT ROLL of the dice is
a 2 or 3 and loses if a 7 or 11 is rolled first. If you roll a 12,
it is considered a tie and play continues.
