Craps

The wild heart of the casino

Craps is loud, fast, and full of action. In physical casinos, it’s often the liveliest table in the room—with high-fives, cheering, and people riding the momentum of a hot streak. But even online, craps holds onto its vibrant spirit.

At jazzgs, we bring the heart-pounding energy of craps to your screen. Whether you’re a beginner looking to learn the basics or a seasoned shooter chasing a hot roll, you’ll find the same excitement and unpredictability that makes craps one of the most thrilling games around.

How craps works

Craps revolves around the roll of two dice. Players place bets on the outcome of the roll, either predicting a specific total or pattern over a series of rolls. The game starts with a come-out roll. If the shooter rolls a 7 or 11, it’s a win for most players. If they roll a 2, 3, or 12 (known as “craps”), it’s a loss. Any other number becomes the “point.”

Once a point is established, the shooter continues rolling until they either roll the point again (win) or a 7 (loss). This sequence can go on for minutes—sometimes much longer—building anticipation with every throw.

Despite its layered structure, craps is easier than it first appears. You don’t need to memorize every bet to get started. In fact, most players stick to just a few bets and still have a blast.

Main types of bets

While the craps table might look intimidating with its crowded layout and endless options, most of the action revolves around a few core bets:

Pass line

This is the simplest and most popular bet. You’re betting that the shooter will win by rolling a 7 or 11 on the come-out roll or hitting the point before rolling a 7.

Don’t pass

The opposite of the pass line. You win if the shooter rolls a 2 or 3 and lose on 7 or 11. If a point is set, you’re hoping the shooter rolls a 7 before repeating the point.

Come / don’t come

Similar to pass and don’t pass, but placed after the point is established. It allows players to join the game mid-roll.

Odds

A bet that supports your pass or come bet, placed behind your original wager. It pays true odds, with no house edge.

Place bets

Betting on specific numbers (like 6 or 9) to come up before a 7 is rolled.

Craps has many more exotic bets—like hardways or the field—but these are the essentials. Mastering just a few gives you everything you need to enjoy the game.

Craps odds explained

One of the reasons craps is so beloved by experienced players is that it offers some of the best odds in the entire casino—if you stick with the right bets.

The pass line and don’t pass bets have a house edge of about 1.41% and 1.36% respectively. Add odds bets, and you’re playing with almost no house edge at all.

On the flip side, bets like the any 7 or hardways offer higher payouts but much worse odds for the player. These bets are flashy but not recommended for long-term play unless you’re chasing excitement rather than consistency.

A good craps player knows how to balance low-edge bets with the occasional high-risk move for adrenaline.
