How to Play Craps

Learn how to play craps:

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.
