Craps online casino guide

Craps looks complicated because many wagers share one layout. The pass line, odds and proposition bets can have very different house edges.

How to play

For a basic pass-line game, win on a come-out 7 or 11, or establish a point and then roll that point again before a 7.

  1. Place a pass-line or other chosen wager before the roll.
  2. On the come-out roll, pass-line bets win on 7/11 and lose on 2/3/12; other numbers establish a point.
  3. If a point is established, the shooter continues rolling.
  4. The pass line wins if the point repeats before 7; it loses if 7 appears first.
  5. Other bets settle according to their own rules and durations.

How to compare craps games

Start with the rules rather than the artwork or game title. Two craps games can look nearly identical while using different pay tables, wager limits, side bets, dealer rules, bonus features or return-to-player settings. Open the help screen for the exact title you intend to play and compare it with the key rules summarized on this page. If a casino offers several versions, treat each version as a separate ruleset until you have confirmed otherwise.

Game availability also depends on the operator and your location. Use the related operator and province pages as discovery tools, then verify the exact game catalogue on the regulated operator site before registering or depositing.
