Craps, formally known as crabs, is played with 2 dice. You might think that Craps is very difficult to play but in fact it is very easy. Just learn the basics and you will become a professional in no time.

The first roll in a Craps round is known as the come out roll. When it is time for you to roll the dice for the first time you are usually betting on the "pass line". Pass line means that if you roll a 7 or 11 you automatically win the round and the round is over. Whatever your bet was it is instantly doubled.

If you roll a 2, 3 or a 12 this is called Craps and you lose. If you roll any other number (4 ,5 ,6 ,7 ,8 ,9 or 10) that number is called the "point". Now you will roll the dice and if you roll a point (4 ,5, 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10) before a 7 is rolled you will instantly win the pass line bet. You will lose if a 7 is rolled before a point. A pass line bet pays 1:1.
