Starting The Game
Getting Started

The easiest way to get started in Craps is to place a Pass Line Bet.  Move the cursor to the area which says PASS   LINE, and press the left mouse button.

A popup window will appear asking you to enter your bet.  Enter your bet and press the OK button.  Next, press the right mouse button to roll the dice.

If you roll a 7 or 11, you win.  If you roll a 2, 3, or 12, you lose.  Any other point rolled becomes your established point, and you want to roll that point again before you roll a 7 to win your bet.

Just keep rolling until you roll a 7 or your established point again.


Pass Bet

The object of the Pass bet is to establish a point, and roll that point again before you roll a 7.  Normally, you will make a Pass bet on the comeout roll, but you can make a Pass bet after the comeout roll.  This is not a good bet however, since the odds of a 7 being rolled are higher than your point being rolled again.

On the comeout roll, you win if a 7 or 11 is rolled, and lose if a 2,  3,  or 12 is rolled.  Any other point rolled becomes your established  point.  You want to roll your established point again before you roll a 7.

You can tell if it is the comeout roll if there is no ON marker on the table.


Don't Pass
Don't Pass Bet

You can only make a Don't Pass bet on the comeout roll.  If you roll a 7 or 11, you lose.  If you roll a 2 or 3, you win.  If you roll a 12 , you  tie the casino, and your bet remains on the table.   Any other point rolled becomes your established point,  and you want to roll a 7 before you roll your established point again.

The Casino has the advantage on the Don't Pass bet on the comeout roll.  However, you have the advantage once you have made it past the comeout roll, since the odds of a 7 being rolled are higher than your point being rolled again.

You can remove your Don't Pass bet at any time.  Since you have the advantage over the Casino after the comeout roll ,  it is best to leave your bet alone, unless you have made a profit on any other bets you may have placed.


Come Bet

You may only make a Come bet after the comeout roll, and an established point has been made.  The Come bet is basically the same as the Pass bet.  Your Come bet will stay on the Come line for the next roll of the dice.  If you roll a 7 or 11, you win.   If you roll a 2,  3, or 12, you lose.  Any other point you roll becomes your established Come point.  You must roll your established Come point again before you roll a 7 to win.

After establishing your Come point, your bet will be placed next to your established Come point on the board.


Don't Come
Don't Come Bet

You may only make a Don't Come bet after the comeout roll and a point has been established.  The Don't Come bet is basically the same as the Don't Pass bet.  Your bet will remain on the Don't Come line for the next roll of the dice.  If you roll a 2 or 3, you win.  If you roll a 12, you tie, and your bet remains on the Don't Come bar.  If you roll a 7 or 11, you lose.  Any other point rolled becomes your established Don't Come point.

You want to roll a 7 before you roll your established Don't Come point again.

The Don't Come bet can be removed at any time.

Craps Overview
The Object of Craps

The object of the game of craps is of course, to win money.

There are generally two types of betting strategies in the game of craps,  Do betting, and Don't betting.

The Do bettor will make such bets as the Pass Line and Come Line, while the Don't bettor will make such bets as the  Don't Pass and Don't Come.

The object of the Do Bets is to establish a point on the comeout roll, and roll that point again before a 7 appears.  The object of the Don't Bets is to avoid the 7 and 11 on the comeout roll,  then hope that a 7 will appear before the established point is rolled again.

This game assumes that you have played craps before, and have a good understanding of the game.  To fully explain the game and all of the betting types and strategies is beyond the scope of this help document.

If you need more information about the game of craps, there are many publications which will explain the game in detail and how it is played.

Comeout Roll

The comeout roll  immediately follows any one of these events:

1.  A player rolls his or her established point.

2.  A player rolls a 7.on a non-comeout roll

3.  A player rolls a 2, 3, or 12  on a comeout roll.

4.  A player rolls a 7 or 11 on the comeout roll.

You can tell if it is a comeout roll if there is no ON marker along the top of the table.

On the comeout roll, if a 7 or 11 is rolled, the Pass Line bet wins,  whereas the Don't Pass Line bet loses.

If a 2 or 3 is rolled on the comeout roll,  the Pass Line bet loses,  whereas the Don't Pass Line bet wins.

If a 12 is rolled on the comeout roll,  the Pass Line bet loses,  whereas the Don't Pass Line bet ties the casino, and the bet is left on the table.

If a 2, 3,  7, 11, or 12 is not rolled,  then the dice total becomes the player's point.

For the Do bets,  the player wants to roll the point again before a 7 is rolled,  whereas with the Don't bets,  the player wants to roll a 7 before they roll their point again.  An ON marker will be placed above the player's point on the board.  The ON marker is removed when a 7 is rolled, or the point is rolled.


The ON Marker

The ON marker  is placed above the established point after the comeout roll.  The presence of an ON marker signifies that neither a 2, 3, 7, 11, or 12 was  rolled on the comeout roll.

The ON marker will be removed when a 7 is rolled, or the number below the ON marker is rolled.
