How to play

Before the dice are rolled, bets can be placed in the various areas of the craps table.

First, click on the value of the chip you wish to wager with your left mouse button.

Next, place the chip in the desired betting area on the craps table by clicking in the area with your left mouse button.

If you move the mouse cursor over the craps table, the type of bet that the cursor covers is shown in the dice pane at the top of the game display.

If you wish to remove a bet, click on your wagered chips with your right mouse button.

When you are finished placing your bets, click on the "DONE" button to roll the dice.

If you are given the option to roll the dice, click "PASS" if you would like to pass on the opportunity. Click "SHOOT" if you would like to roll the dice.

There are three different ways to toll the dice: "SLOW", "FAST" and "WILD". Click on either one of these buttons to roll the dice.

Click "STATS" and you will be given information on your current outstanding bets as well as the result of the last dice roll.

Rules

Type of Bet Payout
Pass Line Bets
A Pass Line Bet is placed on the field labelled "PASS LINE" on the craps table before the come out roll (i.e. the first roll of the dice in a new Craps round). A wager on the pass line wins if the come out roll is 7 or 11, and loses if 2, 3 or 12 is rolled. If 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10 are rolled, that number becomes the point. To win a Pass Line Bet, the shooter must roll the point again before rolling 7. If the shooter rolls a 7 before rolling the point again, your Pass Line Bet loses. Once the point has been established, unresolved Pass Line Bets may not be increased, reduced or removed. They must be resolved by rolling the point or 7.
1 to 1
Don't Pass Line Bets
A Don't Pass Line Bet is essentially the opposite of a Pass Line Bet and is placed on the craps table in the field labelled" DON?T PASS BAR" before the come out roll. If the shooter rolls 3 or 12 in the come out roll, a Don't Pass Line Bet wins. If, however, the come out roll is 7 or 11, Don't Pass Line Bets lose. If the come out roll is 2, a Don't Pass Line Bet is returned to the player in a push. If the come out roll is 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10, that number becomes the point. Once the point has been established, Don't Pass Line Bets win if the shooter rolls a 7 before rolling the point again. If the shooter rolls the point again before rolling a 7, Don't Pass Line Bets lose. Unresolved Don't Pass Line Bets may be removed or reduced, but not increased.
1 to 1
Come Bet
A Come Bet is placed in the "COME" field on the Craps table before any roll of the dice, once the point has been established by the come out roll. The rules for Come Bets are essentially the same as for Pass Line Bets. Come Bets win if the shooter's next roll is 7 or 11, and lose if the roll is 2, 3, or 12. If the shooter rolls 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10, that number becomes "the come point", and the dealer will move the Come Bet from the "COME" field on the craps table to the box corresponding to the come point: "4, 5, SIX, 8, NINE, or 10". If the shooter rolls the come point again before rolling 7, the Come Bet pays even money. The Come Bet will stay in place until the come point or 7 is rolled. Just as with the Pass Line Bet, unresolved Come Bets may not be increased, reduced or removed. They must be resolved by a roll of the come point or 7.
1 to 1
Don't Come Bet
A Don't Come Bet is essentially the opposite of a Come Bet. A Don't Come Bet is placed after the come out roll in the "Don't Come Bar" on the craps table. Don't Come Bets win when the shooter's next roll is 3 or 12, and lose if the roll is 7 or 11. If the shooter rolls a 2, the bet will be returned to the player in a push. If the roll is 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10, that number becomes the don't come point, and the dealer will move the Don't Come Bet from the "Don't Come Bar" to the left corner of the narrow, uppermost bar over the box corresponding to the don't come point: "4, 5, SIX, 8, NINE, or 10". After the don't come point has been established, Don't Come Bets win even money if 7 is rolled and lose if the don't come point is rolled. Don't Come Bets will stay in place until the don't come point or 7 is rolled. Unresolved Don't Come Bets may be removed or reduced at any time, but not increased.

Odds Bets

An Odds Bet is a back up bet on an original Pass Line Bet, Don't Pass Line Bet, Come Bet, or Don't Come Bet.

The maximum Odds Bet is 2 times your original bet on the Pass Line Bets and Come Bets.

You are allowed to lay full odds on Don't Pass Line Bet and Don't Come Bet up to the amount you could win if these bets were on the Pass Line Bets or Come Bets.

Type of Bet Payout
