To the uninitiated, the craps table is easily the most intimidating spot on the casino floor.
However, beneath the shouting and flying dice lies one of the most exciting games available.
How to Bet the Pass Line
The Pass Line bet is the foundation upon which the entire game of craps is built.
Conversely, if the dice show a 2, 3, or 12, the bet loses instantly, which is called "crapping out."
- Roll 7 or 11 to win instantly
- Roll 2, 3, or 12 to lose instantly
- Any other number establishes a "Point"
Establishing and Hitting the Point
When a Point is established, the dealer places a plastic puck on that specific number.
If a 7 is rolled before the Point, the bet loses, and the round is completely over.
The Best Bet in the Casino
Once a Point is established, you can make an additional wager called "Taking Odds."
Because it pays true mathematical odds, it is the only bet in the casino without a house advantage.
| Bet | House Edge | When to Play |
|---|---|---|
| Pass Line | 1.41% | Come-Out Roll |
| Odds Bet | 0.00% | After Point is Set |
Don't let the noise intimidate you; step up to the table and enjoy the thrill of the dice.
