CRAPS TABLE LAYOUT TUTORIAL

Click on an area in the Image Map below for a definition.

This tutorial gives you information on how to play craps online. We use terminology like "click in this area" and other terms for computer use. If you were at a craps table you would place a bet on the spot you clicked on. We suggest that you open our "FREE online casino game" and learn as you read.

PASS LINE

Pick the amount of chips you want to bet by clicking on the chip domination. Click the pass line area to make Pass Line Bet. If you click more than once you will add to your bet. Note: There is no need to click on your chips because you have already selected the bet amount.

The Pass Line area gets more bets than any other area on the craps table. A Pass Line Bet can only be made before a point is established. This is called the come out roll. If a 7 or 11 is rolled it is called a "natural", and it is an immediate winner. If a 2, 3 or 12 is rolled, it is an immediate loser. Any other number rolled that is not mentioned above becomes your Pass Line Point. This number must repeat before a 7 is rolled to win.

Once you make a point your bet will be moved to the place bet area automatically

Don't Pass Bar

Click on the Don't Pass box to make Don't Pass Bet. Don't Pass Bet is one of least used betting areas, that is unless you are a "Wrong bettor". Betting in the Don't Pass area you are betting against the dice. Most craps players bet with the dice. Don't Pass is basically the opposite of the Pass Line. Don't Pass Bet can only be made before a point is established on the come out roll. If a 7 or 11 is rolled called a "natural", you are an immediate loser. If a 2 or 3 is rolled, your an immediate winner. If a 12 is rolled it is a standoff and you neither lose nor win what's why the "Bar" is in the name of this area. Any other number which is rolled becomes your Don't Pass Point. If this number repeats before a 7 is rolled you lose. If a 7 is rolled prior to this number you win.
