To the uninitiated, the craps table is easily the most intimidating spot on the casino floor.

Despite its complex appearance, the fundamental rules of craps are surprisingly straightforward.

How to Bet the Pass Line

The core of craps revolves almost entirely around the fundamental Pass Line bet.

Conversely, if the dice show a 2, 3, or 12, the bet loses instantly, which is called "crapping out."

• The Pass Line has a very low house edge
• It is the most common bet on the table
• Winning on the come-out roll doubles your money

Establishing and Hitting the Point

If any other number (4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10) is rolled, that number becomes the "Point."

The shooter must now roll that exact same Point number again before rolling a 7.

Maximizing Your Craps Winnings

The Odds bet is incredibly special because the casino holds absolutely zero mathematical edge on it.

Taking full odds is the secret strategy used by all professional craps players.

Craps offers an unbeatable combination of social excitement and incredibly low house edges.
