Craps for Beginners

Craps is the dice game that brings out excitement and action like no other casino game offered in person or especially online. Craps has a bet for every taste and strategy and some of the best odds that you can find in an online casino. In fact most professional gamblers will tell you that craps is the best game to play because it carries the lowest house edge.

Craps begins with the player rolling the dice, known as the “shooter” throwing his “come out” roll to establish the point that he must hit again. If the shooter rolls a seven or eleven, he gets an automatic win as those numbers are what is known as a “natural.” Players can wager on “pass/come” or “don’t pass/don’t come” before the come out roll. If the shooter rolls a two, three, or twelve it’s an automatic loss and he forfeit’s the dice. Any other number is what is known as the “point” and the player will keep rolling the dice until he either makes his point or shoots a seven or eleven which means craps and a loss.

Once the point is established the online casino will offer free odds to gamblers who can then wager whether or not he will make his point or not. This is what makes craps such a great value and all gamblers should take the free odds.

You can also wager on “hard” numbers such as seven or any other number that you want with the odds being longer and paying better for numbers such as two or twelve.
