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.
The Most Important Craps Bet
The Pass Line bet is the foundation upon which the entire game of craps is built.

Conversely, if the dice show a 2, 3, or 12, the bet loses instantly, which is called "crapping out."
Roll 7 or 11 to win instantlyRoll 2, 3, or 12 to lose instantlyAny other number establishes a "Point" Playing After the Come-Out Roll
When a Point is established, the dealer places a plastic puck on that specific number.

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.

Always maximize your Odds bet up to the table limit to reduce the overall house edge.
