Craps
Betting the Pass Line
This is the bet you need to make if you want to roll the dice! Place your chips on the line.
COME-OUT ROLL
When the dice roll a 7 or 11 on the come-out roll, you win. On the other hand, if a 2, 3 or 12 rolls, your pass line loses. Any other number (4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10) becomes your point.
WHAT’S THE POINT?
You win if the point repeats before a 7 rolls; the pass line loses if a 7 rolls before you make your point. Up to 10x Odds are optional.
COME BETS
Come Bets act the same as a Pass Line Bet after the come-out roll. You win on Naturals 7 or 11, and your bet is removed on Craps 2, 3 or 12. Any other number becomes the point and you win if your point is made before a 7 is rolled. Up to 10x Odds are optional.
PROPOSITION BETS
These are all one-roll bets that are decided on each roll of the dice. Any 7 pays 4-to-1. Any Craps (2, 3 or 12) pays 7-to-1. Rolling 3 or 11 pays 15-to1. Rolling a 2 or 12 pays 30-to-1.
HARDWAY BETS
There are four possible Hardway Bets: Hardway Four is two 2s and Hardway Ten is two 5s, both of which pay 7-to-1; Hardway Six is two 3s and Hardway Eight is two 4s, both of which pay 9-to-1. Your bet is removed if a number rolls easy (4-2) or a 7 is rolled.
PLACE BETS
You may make a Place Bet any time on any or all of the following numbers: 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10. You win if the number you have placed rolls before a 7; payouts are 9-to-5 on the 4 and 10, 7-to-5 on the 5 and 9 and 7-to-6 on the 6 and 8.
BUY BETS
Buy Bets are place bets that are paid true odds in exchange for a vigorish ($1 for every $20 wagered). The 4 & 10 are the most popular numbers to “buy.”
