How to Play Craps: Demystifying the Casino’s Loudest Game

If you walk onto any physical casino floor, the loudest and most energetic area is almost always the Craps table.

The energy is infectious, drawing crowds of spectators eager to watch the “shooter” roll the dice.

Despite the fun atmosphere, the layout of a Craps table appears incredibly confusing to anyone who hasn’t played before.

The truth is that while the table looks complex, the core game is actually very simple to understand and play.

Our beginner’s guide will strip away the confusion and focus on the fundamental bets you need to know.

The Basics: The Come-Out Roll and The Point

Every round of Craps begins with what is called the “Come-Out” roll, performed by the designated “shooter.”

The entire goal of the Come-Out roll is to establish a “Point” number for the rest of the round.

When a Point is set, the game enters its second phase, and the objective of the shooter completely changes.

The shooter keeps throwing the dice repeatedly; rolling the Point is a victory for the table.

However, if the shooter rolls a 7 before rolling the Point again, it is a “Seven Out,” everyone loses, and the round ends.

The Only Two Bets a Beginner Needs

You can ignore 90% of the table layout; the smartest place to start is the prominent Pass Line.

You place your Pass Line bet immediately before the Come-Out roll occurs.

If the 7 hits before the Point, your Pass Line bet loses. It is that simple.

Alternatively, you can bet the “Don’t Pass” line, which is essentially betting against the shooter.

For your first time, stick to the Pass Line to enjoy the communal excitement and camaraderie of the game.

The Best Bet in the Entire Casino

After the Point is set, you are allowed to place an additional wager directly behind your Pass Line bet.

The Odds bet is unique because the casino pays out at exactly true mathematical odds, meaning there is zero house edge.

By combining a Pass Line bet with a maximum Odds bet, you effectively dilute the overall house edge to less than 1%.

This strategy minimizes your exposure to the 1.41% house edge and maximizes your money on the 0% edge bet.

You simply place your extra chips directly behind your Pass Line chips after the Come-Out roll to utilize this tactic.

Understanding the Dealer’s Calls

• Shooter: The player currently throwing the dice.
• Establishing the Point: The primary goal of the initial throw.
• Target Number: Marked by the ON puck. The number needed to win Pass Line bets.
• Sevening Out: The worst roll possible during the Point phase. Clears the board.
• Free Odds: The secret weapon of professional Craps players.

Which Side of the Dice Are You On?

Bet Type	Come-Out Win	Come-Out Loss
The “Right” Way	Natural 7 or 11	2, 3, 12
The “Wrong” Way	Craps (2,3)	Natural 7 or 11
Casino Margin	Very Low (1.41%)	Lowest (1.36%)

The secret to Craps is sticking strictly to the edges of the board where the mathematically sound bets live.
