The rules of craps

When you start a game of craps online for the first time, it can seem complicated. In reality, this game is very simple, and just by learning the basic rules, you can enjoy this game and above all have chances of winning games.

The basic principle is clear: you roll two dice, and you bet on the result, period. Of course, you must first learn the vocabulary of the game, to know how to bet.

The first phase of the game is called in English the come-out roll, which means the first roll (literally the "roll out"). To start a game, you must bet on either pass line or the don't pass line.

If you bet on a pass, it's a 7 or an 11 that you want to drop to be able to win the game. If you roll 2, 3, or 12 on the dice, you don't win. This result is called craps. The phase is over, it's another player's turn to be the thrower for the next one.

For players who had bet on don't pass, if a 2 or 3 comes out, they win the game. But if a 12 comes out those players don't win anything, it's a draw.

If you roll a 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10, the second phase of the game begins. These figures determine the "point" that must come out during this second phase. At this time, the bets made cannot be moved. So if you bet on pass, you won't be able to change it to a don't pass, and vice versa.
