How to play craps online

Undoubtedly, craps are one of the most exciting of the various online casino games. This game features rules and variations like any other casino game, which may seem difficult to understand at first. But, in fact, it just takes a little practice to succeed.

Once you are virtually seated at the green table, you will immediately realize how the rhythms of this game can sometimes be really pressing. On certain occasions, it may seem that the time to reflect on the bet you want to make does not leave room for developing a strategy. So, in order to avoid being caught unprepared about the various betting modes available and, consequently, finding yourself regretting your move, it will be good to make a quick summary of how to play craps live online.

Even before summarizing the rules, it will be important to determine the amount of tokens you want to use to play the best online craps game on top gambling sites like OXI Casino, creating your own bankroll. In addition, especially for those who are inexperienced in the game of craps, the free "for fun" version is recommended so that you can practice first before trying your hand at the actual game at craps casino online.

Bets at craps casino online

Online craps gambling, as mentioned before, may seem a bit confusing to inexperienced eyes during the first few hands. You will find, however, that once you have reviewed the rules and types of bets, everything becomes familiar and more apparent.

Let's start by saying that online craps players are called "shooters." Each shooter will have to roll 2 dice, the sum of which will give a favorable or unfavorable result depending on the bet placed. Let's see at this point how the game works.

Choose your bet

The shooter, having chosen the amount to bet, will have the opportunity to place their bet on either "Pass line", or "Don't Pass line." Obviously, the other players, if they are present at the green table, will also place their bets. Once the bets are placed, the players move on to the next step - roll the two dice in turn. The shooter makes the first roll that is called "Come Out."

If the come-out results in seven or eleven (natural), anyone who has bet on Pass Line automatically wins double the stake. In contrast, whoever has bet on the Don't Pass Line automatically loses the bet. Similarly, if the Come Out result is two, three, or twelve (craps), whoever has bet on Pass Line loses their bet, while whoever has bet on Don't Pass Line wins double the bet with two or more.

If the dice results in four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, or ten (point), the shooter will be entitled to roll the dice again. In this phase, anyone who had previously bet on the pass line wins with the repetition of the same number (point) and loses with seven. Conversely, the don't pass bet wins with a seven and loses with the repetition of the established score (point).

Once the point has been established, bettors will no longer be able to change their bet from Pass to Don't Pass. However, they will be able to make other bets: ODDS, LAY, PLACE BET, FIELD, BIG 6 AND 8, HORN BET, and HARDWAYS.

Types of Craps

If there is one thing that craps are appreciated for, it is their ability to offer a variety of pleasures. In addition to the classic variant, the game of craps has many other engaging variants. So how to find the best online craps game for you?

Bastard Craps or Crapless Craps

Simple variant offering breathtaking experience. The first thing to remember with this version is that the number 7 must be avoided at all costs. The player loses if this result is rolled on the first roll or before the Point. Then, to have a chance to win, you have to do a Craps (2, 3, or 12) or a Natural (11). Finally, as in all other games, a 7 will cancel the initial roll.

High Point Craps

Here, the player who rolls an 11 or a 12 automatically wins the game. If the player's roll results in a number other than 2 or 3, which are ignored in the game, they will have scored a point. In this case, a player will have to draw this number second time to complete this achievement and validate his win. A 7 means that the player immediately returns to the starting square.

New York scaps

If you are particularly fond of classic bets and "Come" and "Don't Come" bets, pass on to a better life. This craps variant, common in the eastern United States and Great Britain, is not for you. With payouts based on real odds, it allows you to win with any number between 4 and 10. Of course, with the obvious exception of 7.

Simplified Craps

2, 3, 4, 10, 11, or 12. These are the only numbers you need to drop to maximize your profit. If unfortunately, the die rolls a 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9, the game is over for the player. The rules are as simple as the name of the variant, which limits winning combinations. However, remember that the gap is filled by very interesting coefficients of performance.

Craps Rules

Just like blackjack or roulette, the best online craps for real money also take place around a table with a dealer. The shooter's first throw is called "Come out." If a shooter wants to place their bet on the Pass Line, they simply place their chips in the area called "Pass Line."

• You win if you roll a 7 or an 11
• In case you roll a 2, 3, or 12, you lose
• In case it is one of the following numebrs: 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10, you must roll the dice again and score the same, then try to roll a 7 and win.

Understanding the Pass Line helps you to understand better how the game of craps works. For example, there is a Don't Pass Line Bet, which is the exact opposite of the pass line.

Betting is perhaps the part that many players find most important because it is essentially the soul of online craps. Among other things, the main difference between an experienced player and a beginner is that the former has memorized the various types of bets and arrives prepared at the table.

Depending on the type of online craps for real money you play and the casino software that made the game, you will find different types of bets. The basic bets in online craps at casino are as follows:

• Bet Come - It works like the "Pass Line" bet, but in online craps, it is made after the first roll (Come out).
• Don't Come Bet - It works like the "Don't Pass Line" bet, but in online craps, it is made after the first roll (Come out).
• Odds bet - This bet can be made together with the "Pass Line," "Don't Pass Line," "Come," and "Don't Come" bets. In online craps, if you do it together with "Pass Line" and "Come," you must get the shooter's point before 7. If you do it together with "Don't Pass Line" and "Don't Come," you must get the 7 before the shooter's point. The payout of these bets depends on the score obtained by the shooter. However, "Odds" bets have a higher chance of winning and are more profitable than Craps.
• Big 6 bet - A bet to get a 6 before a 7.
• Big 8 bet - A bet to get an 8 before a 7.
• Bet Aces - A bet to get 2 on the next roll.
• Episode 12 - A bet to get 12 on the next roll.
• Any Bet 7 - A bet to get 7 on the next roll.
• Bet Any 11 - A bet to get 11 on the next roll.
• Any Craps bet - A bet to get 2, 3 or 12 with the next roll.
• Place Win bet - A bet to roll a specific number chosen by a player (4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10) before a 7.
• Place Lose bet - A bet to get 7 before a specific number chosen by a player (4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10).
• Buy bet - It works like the "Place Win" bet, but with a different way of paying. In fact, the bank is entitled to 5% of the stake.
• Lay bet - It works like the "Place Lose" bet, but with a different payout behavior. In fact, the bank is entitled to 5% of the stake.
• Field bet - A bet to get 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11, or 12 on the next roll of the dice.
• Hardway bet - A bet to get a double number (for example, two 3s).
• Horn bet - A bet to get 2, 3, 11, or 12 on the next roll.

The only way to properly learn the rules is to train a lot while playing for free before switching to real money. This option is usually included in all craps live or online.

How to Win Craps

The first and most common craps strategy to learn is to minimize the house edge. The "Pass" line, the "Don't Pass" line, the "Come" bet and the "Don't Come" bet have a particularly low house edge. For this reason, these bets are highly recommended in craps casino online. Usually, the "Pass Line" is recommended if you want to place a repeat bet at the craps table.

In addition to the "Pass Line" bet, after you make this play and earn a point, you are entitled to make another bet. It is called "the bet of odds". It means you are betting that a point will be scored before a seven is scored by the shooter. The odds bet is the only bet in an online casino that has no house edge. Whenever you can place this bet, it is highly recommended that you place it since the later is considered the easiest way to reduce the house edge.

That said, there is no proven betting system or strategy that can make you win for sure in online craps since it is a game based primarily on chance. Our advice is to practice at OXI - the best online craps casino, learn the craps terminology and the best strategies for craps, and then do some tests with the free game. However, do not forget that a good dose of luck is always the component that determines whether you will be able to enjoy a big win or not.
