How to Play and Win in Online Craps
Craps is by far one of the most popular games and in casino you will never see craps tables standing lonely and abandoned. Many people who play craps in casinos hesitate to play this game in online ones as, as they think, it’s simply impossible. However, the mechanism of craps as well as the mechanism of other games in online casino depends on RNG or Random Number Generator, so once you familiarize yourself with betting system give online craps a chance.
In online casino craps are displayed as two dices that roll together. Players’ aim is to bet on the outcome of this roll. Before we go further, let’s make a short stop and remind how craps work. There are special terms like “come out roll” (that is the very first roll of the die) and “shooter” (the one who rolls dices). Craps game is considered finished when shooter rolls 7 or 11 (these are naturals), or 2, 3 or 12 (these are craps). In case come out roll brings the following numbers – 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 and 10 (these numbers are called point), the game continues until craps or naturals appear. While playing craps in online casino you can bet on come out roll and the following ones in case they are needed.
When you bet on come out roll, you use so called pass line and don’t pass line bets. These are basic bets. Pass line ones win in case come out roll is natural and lose in case it’s craps. When you play craps online, you will see a special point. By establishing it you can make the system place pass line bids right to the moment when naturals or craps will appear. No need to say, the amount of pass line bet can be adjusted for each roll. Don’t pass line bets are the opposite to pass line ones and they will make you a winner in case of craps and lose if roll is natural. By the way, if you just start playing craps in online casino, keep in mind that pass line bet gives you lower house advantage.
So the come out roll is over and the game continues. Now you can place some new bets. These are come and don’t come ones. They can be placed only in case the come out roll is point. Come bet will win in case the next roll is natural and lose with craps. In case the shooter rolls point once again, your bet will still win. As you can guess, Pass/Don’t pass and Come/Don’t come bets work on the same principle and so don’t come bet is opposite to the come one. Your don’t come bet will be winning in case of craps and you lose with natural. The only difference – your don’t come bet will be returned in case the next roll brings 2.
There are also different types of bets that can be placed further. These are field and odds bets, Big Eight and Big Six, Place Lose, Place Win, Any 7, Buy, Lay, Any Craps, Any 11. There’s no need to be worried you do not know how these bets work. Just check out Help table in your favorite online casino and you will get full and comprehensive descriptions.
