Craps is a game that has been played for centuries and will likely continue to be played well into the future. The game has secured its place in the future with the introduction to online craps in the last couple years. More people are logging on and being introduced to the game, or simply experiencing it in a more modern and accessible manner.

Playing online craps is much the same as playing in a brick and mortar casino. The table layout will be generally the same, the biggest difference is that you may have to click on chips to place bets or move them from one area of the table. You also will not be able to physically roll the dice, but you will usually be able to toggle them before they are tossed against the back wall of the virtual table.

Craps is really easy, you sit down at the table and you place your bet on either the Pass or Don’t Pass line. The Pass Line is betting for the shooter and the Don’t Pass is against the shooter. Both types of bets earn even money, although betting Don’t Pass gives the player a better edge.

The come out roll is the first roll of the game and if it is not a 7 or an 11 it is known as a point. If a point has been established the goal of the shooter is to attempt to roll that same number again. If he rolls the same number again he wins the point bet. If the shooter rolls a seven before his point number, he passes the dice to the next shooter at his left.

The Come and Don’t Come bets are next. This works almost exactly like Pass and Don’t pass except it occurs after the shooter establishes his point. The bettors goal now is to place a come or don’t come bet. A come bet is one that is for the shooter and a Don’t Come bet is against the shooter. The goal of the shooter is to roll the same number again before he craps out.

The vast majority players get stuck thinking that they should always bet with the shooter because that is what the popular players at the table do. A lot of people frown upon betting against the shooter, but when you do so you actually do away with the house edge so that your odds of winning are better than ever. When you play online you needn’t worry about what others think because you’re behind a computer and don’t have to worry too much about what others think. When you are ready, the pass and don’t pass bets will be there for you, and you will find that in most cases they will benefit you immensely.
