ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1. Las Vegas Craps - Help ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Las Vegas Craps is an authentic rendition of a Las Vegas style craps game.
While the primary purpose of this game is entertainment, it also provides
helpful assistance and recommended strategies.
Craps is the most exciting of all casino games. It offers the player the
opportunity to win, or lose, large sums of money very quickly. There are over
twenty different bets available in the game of craps. The craps table is
divided into three distinct sections. The two end sections are where the
majority of the bets are made. The middle area, contains bets known as
proposition, or center, bets.
Craps is played by betting on the outcome of the rolling of two dice. In order
to properly understand and participate in the game of craps, it is important to
know the possible outcomes when two dice are thrown. There are eleven possible
outcomes in a roll of two dice (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12).
Certain numbers are more likely to be rolled than others. The chances of
rolling a particular number are as follows:

Notice that the seven is the most common roll of all the possible rolls.
Notice, also, that there is a symmetry of combinations on either side of the
seven (ie. the six and eight have the same odds, as do the four and ten). The
further a number is from seven, the less likely it will be rolled. Based on
these chances of a number being rolled, the following odds can be derived:

The casinos use these odds to their advantage in the game of craps. When a bet
is won, it is typically paid off at an amount that is less than the true odds
of winning the bet. All of the bets in the game favor the casino, or house.
Some bets favor the house more than others. The key to winning at the game of
craps is to play the bets that offer the lowest house advantage.
Extensive help is available for every menu item and dialog box in the game. The
help information for each bet will contain the rules for that bet as well as
some recommended betting strategies. All you need to do is select the
particular item that you want help for and press the F1 key.
For more information on each of the menus on the action bar, double-click on
one of the following hilighted words (or press the Tab Key to select it and
press Enter).

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 48.1. Pass Line Rules - Help ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The Pass Line bet is one of four bets known as line bets. The object of the
Pass Line bet changes after the first roll of the dice. The first roll of the
dice, after placing this bet, is referred to as the come out roll. The object
of the Pass Line bet, on the come out roll, is to roll a seven or an eleven.
If you roll a seven or eleven, you win. If you roll a two, three, or twelve,
you lose. If any other number is rolled, that number becomes the point number.
A place marker will then be placed, on the table, over the number that
corresponds to the point number.
Once a point number is established, the object of the Pass Line bet is to roll
the point number before rolling a seven. If you roll the point number first,
you win. If you roll a seven first, you lose. If any other number is rolled,
it has no effect on this bet.
Place
This bet can only be made before a point number is established. You must
have enough money in your bank to place the minimum bet. The minimum bet is
set in the Settings dialog.
Change/Remove
This bet may be changed or removed anytime before the point number is
established. Once the point number has been established, the original bet
can no longer be changed or removed. Once the point number has been
established, a Pass Line bet can be enhanced with an odds bet. The odds bet
is really a separate bet and it can be changed or removed at any time. Odds
can only be placed after the point number is established.
Odds of winning
The Pass Line bet has different odds of winning, depending on what the point
number is. The following table gives the odds of winning for each possible
point number.

Payoff if won
The original Pass Line bet is paid off at even money regardless of the point
number. If Odds were taken on the bet, the odds are paid off according to
the point number. The following table gives the odds payoff for each
possible point number.

Recommendation
The house has a 1.4% advantage on a Pass Line bet with no odds. This is one
of the lowest house advantages in the game. Because the house has no
advantage at all on the odds bet, if you back the Pass Line bet with odds,
the house advantage on the total bet drops to 0.8% with single odds and
further to 0.6% when playing double odds. As you can see, the house
advantage drops significantly when playing odds. Also, the more odds that
are taken, the lower the house advantage drops. Therefore, when playing the
Pass Line, always bet the maximum allowable odds. When betting a sum of
money on the Pass Line, always put as much of that sum as possible on the
odds. Line bets backed by odds are the best bets in the game.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 48.2. Don't Pass Rules - Help ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The Don't Pass bet is one of four bets known as line bets. The object of the
Don't Pass bet changes after the first roll of the dice. The first roll of the
dice, after placing this bet, is referred to as the come out roll. The object
of the Don't Pass bet, on the come out roll, is to roll a two or a three. If
you roll a two or three, you win. If you roll a seven or eleven, you lose. A
roll of twelve is considered a standoff, or push. If any other number is
rolled, that number becomes the point number. A place marker will then be
placed, on the table, over the number that corresponds to the point number.
Once a point number is established, the object of the Don't Pass bet is to roll
a seven before rolling the point number. If you roll a seven first, you win.
If you roll the point number first, you lose. If any other number is rolled,
it has no effect on this bet.
Place
This bet can only be made before a point number is established. You must
have enough money in your bank to place the minimum bet. The minimum bet is
set in the Settings dialog.
Change/Remove
This bet may be changed or removed anytime before the point number is
established. Once the point number has been established, the original bet
can no longer be changed or removed. Once the point number has been
established, a Don't Pass bet can be enhanced with an odds bet. The odds bet
is really a separate bet and it can be changed or removed at any time. Odds
can only be placed after the point number is established.
Odds of winning
The Don't Pass bet has different odds of winning, depending on what the point
number is. The following table gives the odds of winning for each possible
point number.

Note: The odds of winning and the payoff are identical on the odds bet.
Also, note that you will be paid off less than the actual bet. This is
because the odds are actually in your favor on the Don't Pass bet. This
serves to even it up for the house.

of the lowest house advantages in the game. Because the house has no

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 48.24. Free Odds - Help ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
A Free Odds bet, or just Odds bet, is an extension to the line bets. This bet
must always back an existing line bet. An Odds bet can be placed for every
existing line bet. While the Free Odds bet looks like a way to simply increase
your line bet, it is much more than that. The Free Odds bet is paid of at the
true odds. Thus, the house gets no advantage on this bet. The Free Odds bet
serves to lower the overall house advantage on the line bets.
The amount you are allowed to bet on a Free Odds bet is usually limited to some
multiple of the line bet that it backs. The most common multiples are single
odds and double odds. In a single odds game, the Free Odds bet can only be as
large as the line bet that it backs. When playing double odds, the Free Odds
bet can be up to two times the line bet. The odds multiple can be set in the
Settings dialog.
Place
This bet can only be made as a backing bet to one of the line bets.
Therefore, you must have already placed one of the line bets, and the
corresponding point number must be established. You must have enough money
in your bank to place the minimum bet. The minimum bet is set in the
Settings dialog.
Change/Remove
This bet may be changed or removed at anytime.
Odds of winning
The Free Odds bet has different odds of winning, depending on what the point
number is. The following table gives the odds of winning for each possible
point number.

Note: The odds of winning and the payoff are identical on the Free Odds bet.
Recommendation
The house has no advantage at all on a Free Odds bet. This makes the Free
Odds bet the best bet in the game. The overall house advantage for line bets
decreases as more money is bet on the Free Odds backing the line bet. For
this reason, line bets should always be backed with the maximum allowable
Free Odds bet.
