The craps table is undoubtedly the loudest, most energetic, and most intimidating area on any casino floor.
Once you understand the basic flow of the game, the intimidating layout starts to make perfect sense.
The Most Important Craps Bet
The absolute best way to start is by placing a simple wager on the area marked ‘Pass Line’.
However, if the shooter rolls a 2, 3, or 12 on that first throw, it is called ‘crapping out’ and you lose the bet.
- Betting the Pass Line means you are cheering for the same outcome as the vast majority of the table
- The camaraderie of everyone winning together is what makes craps so uniquely exciting
- Keep your strategy simple: bet the Pass Line, take maximum odds, and enjoy the show
Crucial Craps Etiquette
To avoid looking like a foolish tourist and halting the game, you must understand table manners.
The most important rule is to keep your hands completely out of the table area when the dice are being thrown.
| Action | Explanation | Dealer Reaction |
|---|---|---|
| String betting | Dropping chips one by one slows the game | Dealers will scold you; drop them all at once |
| Tipping | Dealers work incredibly hard at this game | Place a bet ‘for the boys’ to ensure great service |
Stick to the basics, mind your hands, and enjoy the incredible energy of the craps pit.
