Craps

Online craps allows you to play craps in exactly the same way as you would when participating in a traditional casino craps game, but there are several advantages to online craps that are worth noting. First, online craps games tend to move at a quicker pace because you don’t have to hang around for the shooter to act or for other players to place their bets. Second, you don’t have to wait your turn when you play craps online – the table is effectively all yours.

When you play craps in a regular casino it can be difficult getting a place at a table, especially during peak hours. This isn’t a problem with an online casino craps game, as there is no limit to the virtual floor space available and therefore no limit to the number of online craps games that can be played at any given time.

If you don't know how to play craps, don't worry. These pages will give you the lowdown on basic craps strategy and an understanding of the craps bets and the craps odds on the somewhat confusing table layout. You'll also come across lots of tips on how to play the game in a real casino, including advanced tactics like the tell tale signs on how to spot craps losers!

Profits from the Pass Line

The Pass Line bet is one of the simplest of craps bets and it is therefore one that many people who are new to the game are automatically attracted to. We have discussed how Pass line bets work in a previous article, so we won’t repeat the technicalities here. What we will do is offer two approaches that online players can take to try and make profits from the Pass line without betting on any other outcome. As you may recall from our previous article on Pass line bets, a successful bet is settled at odds of 1:1 and the house edge is just 1.41%.

Craps Nicknames

Whenever a shooter throws the dice at a craps table it is certain that the resulting total will be one of 11 numbers (2 to 12), but there are many more possible dice combinations. Whilst the results of a throw will often be called by the casino as a simple total, many craps players like to refer to the various combinations using craps nicknames. The most famous of these is of course Snake Eyes, which refers to 1-1, but there are nicknames for all other combinations. The most common craps nicknames are as follows:

Craps in the Movies

Multiplayer Craps

Part of the fun of playing craps at a regular offline casino is the social aspect of the game, with players betting for or against the shooter and enjoying the banter associated with taking sides. Online casino visitors who play regular online craps games can also bet for or against the shooter, but because the only human being involved is the player himself, banter – and indeed any other kind of social interaction – is lacking. Fortunately, multiplayer craps games allow online craps player to enjoy a social aspect that regular single player craps games lack.

Casino Craps Game

Casino craps games are games of chance, so there is no sure-fire strategy that you can use to guarantee success when playing. What we can suggest is that when you play craps you focus on even money shots so that you are only ever fighting the lowest house edge possible. Use a sensible staking plan if you want and if you happen to strike it lucky when playing online craps, walk away with your profit intact. The longer you play after a winning streak, the more chance there is of your profits dwindling, so it might be better to switch to a different game.
