- craps games begin with a 'pass line' bet. Here, you bet that the dice will land on a 7 or 11 ('pass the line') or on a 2, 3, or 12 ('don't pass').
- The shooter will start the game with the first roll of the dice, known as the 'comeout roll'.
- If the dice lands on 7 or 11 on the comeout roll, pass line bets instantly win. Don't pass bets win if the dice lands on a combined 2, 3, or 12. If the dice lands on any other number, your pass or don't pass bets remain in play for subsequent rolls.
- Any other numbers (4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10) the dice lands on from the comeout roll establishes that number as the 'point' on the craps table. Game play continues (as well as your pass or don't pass bets) until the point number is rolled again or a 7 is rolled.
- Once a point has been set, you can then bet on the dice landing the point, landing on different numbers, or losing completely by landing on 7.
- The shooter will keep rolling the dice (and you can keep betting) until they land a 7 or the point.
- If the point is rolled
before a 7, all pass line bets will win. If a 7 is rolled
before the point, all pass line bets will lose and all don't pass bets will win instead.
