How Do I Play Online Craps?
A game of Craps usually consists of two distinct phases, the Coming Out phase and the Point phase.
The coming out phase: In the Coming Out phase, the idea is to roll a seven or an eleven, while betting on the Pass line. On the come-out roll if the total of the two dice is 7, 11, 2, 3 or 12, the round ends immediately. A result of 2, 3 or 12 is called 'craps' (and you lose) while a result of 7 or 11 is called a 'win' or a 'natural'. After any of these results the shooter can roll another come-out roll. When any other number (4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10) is rolled on the come-out roll, this number becomes what is called the point.
The Point phase: The objective is to roll the same number as the Point, but before you roll a seven. If the point is established then the shooter must re-roll the dice continuously until either a 7 is rolled, or the same number as the point is rolled again. If the shooter rolls the point a second time, the round is finished and the game starts over with the same shooter rolling another come-out roll.
In both phases of your game, you can place various side bets.
