Gaming Guide Back to all ways to play Pass Line A bet is placed on the Pass Line before the Come Out Roll. If a 7 or 11 rolls on a Come Out Roll, the Pass Line wins. If a 2,3 or 12 rolls, the Pass Line loses. If any other number rolls (4, 5, 6, 8, 9,or 10) it becomes the Point. In order to win, the shooter must repeat that number before a 7 is rolled. If a 7 is rolled, the bet is lost. Don’t Pass Line A bet placed on the Don’t Pass Line before the Come Out Roll is the opposite of a bet placed on the Pass Line. The bet loses if a 7 or 11 is rolled, and wins if a 2 or 3 is rolled. The bet is a push if a 12 is rolled. If any other number is rolled it becomes the Point. In order to win the Don’t Pass wager, a 7 must be rolled before the Point is repeated. Come Come bets may be placed anytime after the Come Out Roll. The Come bet wins if 7 or 11 is rolled and loses if 2, 3 or 12 is rolled immediately following the placement of the bet. If any other number rolls (4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10) the bet is moved to the box of that particular number. That number must roll before a 7 to win. Don’t Come A Don’t Come bet is the opposite of the Come bet. It can be placed after a Point is established on the Come Out roll. The bet loses if a 7 or 11 is rolled, and wins if a 2 or 3 is rolled. The bet is a push if a 12 is rolled. If any other number rolls (4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10) the bet is placed behind that number. Pass Line and Come bets may not be placed, increased, reduced or removed after a point is established. Don’t Pass Line and Don’t Come bets cannot be placed or increased but may be removed or decreased after a point is established. Odds Once a point has been established, an additional bet can be made to the original Pass Line, Don’t Pass Line, Come and Don’t Come bets. You may take Odds as an additional bet of the Pass Line and Come bets, and you can lay Odds as an additional bet of the Don’t Pass line and don’t Come bets.
