Craps games

Start with the round

Craps uses dice rolls to resolve bets. Some wagers relate to the come-out roll; others remain active across later rolls.

Follow the come-out roll

A craps round begins with a come-out roll. The result can settle some bets immediately or establish a point that stays active for later rolls.

Learn what each bet needs before placing it; the table board separates one-roll bets from bets that remain open.

Check when a bet can be removed

Craps layouts can include odds, place, field and proposition bets, each with different settlement rules. Confirm whether a chip is working on the next roll and whether it can be taken down between rolls.

That prevents you from mistaking an active bet for a queued one.

Use the table guide

The layout contains many bet areas. Check each bet’s timing, payout and whether it can be removed once placed.

Understand the bet’s life cycle

The layout distinguishes bets that resolve on the next roll from those that continue through a point sequence.

Learn when a wager is working, when it can be removed and how odds bets relate to the base bet.

Check the total amount exposed before a roll, including any chips left active from earlier decisions.
