Playing Online Craps
A game of Craps can be divided into two phases, the Come-Out phase and the Point phase. In the Come-Out phase, the objective is to roll a 7 or an 11, while betting on the Pass Line. If you roll 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10 instead, a Point is established. In the Point phase of the game, the objective is to roll the same number as the Point, before you roll a 7. In both phases of the game, you can place various side bets.
To play a game of Craps, do the following:
- Click the Chip Selector arrow buttons to select the chip size you want to bet with
- Click the bet position on the table to place your Pass Line bet. A chip is placed on the bet position.
- Click the Roll button. The dice are rolled on to the table. Depending on the number rolled, you either:
- Win on the Come-out Roll – You are paid according to the Payout Schedule.
- Establish a Point – Click Roll again, to try and make the Point.

Box Cars
This is when the Shooter rolls two 6’s.
Come-Out Roll
This is any roll before a point is established. It is an attempt to win a Pass Line bet by rolling 7 or 11.
Pass Line bets lose if the come-out roll is 2, 3 or 12. After rolling 7, 11, 2, 3 or 12, the Shooter comes out again. If any other number is rolled, a Point is established.
Craps Out
This is when the Shooter rolls a 2, 3 or 12 on the come-out roll.
Establish a Point
This is when you roll a Point Number on the come-out roll.
Making a Point
This is when the Shooter re-rolls the Point, after it is established. Once a Point is established, re-rolling the Point wins, 7 loses and any other number does not affect the Pass Line bet. The Shooter rolls until he makes the Point, or rolls a 7.
Point Number
This is a number – 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10, that the Shooter is trying to roll to win the Pass Line bet.
Shooter
The Player that rolls the dice.

Don’t Pass bet
This is a bet that the Shooter will roll a 2, 3 or 12, or establish a Point by rolling 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10 on the come-out roll. And then roll a 7 before rolling the point number again.
Come bet
This is a bet similar to the Pass Line bet, but can only be taken after a Point is established. It is a bet that the Shooter will either roll a 7 or 11 on the next roll, or make a Point, and roll that point number again before rolling a 7.
A Come bet can be made on every roll of the dice only after the Shooter has established a Point.
