How Craps Rolls

Predict how the dice will land.

Each round consists of two phases:

The Come-Out phase:

• Place a bet on the Pass Line or Don’t Pass Line. Dice move around the table clockwise.
• Rolls of 7 or 11 mean Pass Line Bets win and Don’t Pass Line Bets lose.
• On rolls of 2 or 3, Pass Line Bets lose and Don’t Pass Line bets win.
• Rolls of 12 mean Pass Line Bets lose, but Don’t Pass Line Bets push (your bet stays on the table).
• Hardways and Place Bets are off on the come-out roll, unless you request them on.
• Rolls of 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10 establish the Point, and the round proceeds to the Point phase.

Pass Line: A bet that the outcome of the first roll of the dice will result in a 7 or an 11.
Odds: A side bet that is made after a point is thrown and is completely optional. You are betting on the outcome of a number before a 7 is rolled. The player can bet on a range of outcomes that are grouped, each with different odds. Odds pays 2 to 1 on points of 4 and 10, 3 to 2 on a 5 and 9, and 6 to 5 on a 6 and 8. 
Don’t Pass Line: On the come-out roll, you win on 2 or 3, and you lose on 7 or 11. If 12 comes up, it’s a push (a tie)—you don’t win or lose, but the round is over. Any other number that comes up establishes the point. On subsequent rolls, you win even money if 7 comes up. If the point comes up, you lose. A Don’t Pass Line bet can be picked up before a win or lose decision is reached. This bet pays 1 to 1.
Field: A one-roll bet you can make anytime. If 3, 4, 9, 10 or 11 are rolled, this pays 1 to 1. If 2 or 12 are rolled, this pays 2 to 1.
Horn Bet: A one-roll bet you can make anytime. You’re betting that 2, 3, 11 or 12 will come up on the next roll. If 3 or 11 come up, you are paid 15 to 1; 2 or 12 pay 30 to 1. If none of those numbers come up, you lose.
Come: A bet that can be made after a point has been established. It’s a 1 to 1 bet with the same rules as a Pass Line bet.
Don’t Come: A bet that can be made anytime after a point has been established. It’s a 1 to 1 bet with the same rules as Don’t Pass Line betting.
Any 7: A one-roll bet that can be made anytime. When a 7 comes up on that roll, you’re paid 4 to 1.
Any Craps: A one-roll bet paying 7 to 1 you can make any time. You win on 2, 3 or 12.}
Hardway: A bet placed on 4, 6, 8 or 10. To win, the number must come up the “Hardway,” as doubles. For example, if you bet on Hard Six, you win if a pair of 3s comes up before a 7 or an Easy Six (5 and 1 or 4 and 2).
Place Bet: A bet that 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10 will be rolled before a 7, after the come-out roll. A roll of 4 or 10 pays 9 to 5; a roll of 5 or 9 pays 7 to 5; a roll of 6 or 8 pays 7 to 6.

• Always throw the dice with one hand only, and be sure to hit the back wall.
• Always keep the dice where the dealer can see them.
• When buying in or asking for change, place your money on the table instead of giving it to the dealer.
