Craps not only crossed many cultures and countries, but it has also gained a huge online following. Some casino fans may think that craps is intimidating. That is because craps and online craps really is a high action, high speed game and once you know how to play you will understand what all the hype is about.
Online craps is a game that combines lady luck with clever betting strategies. Most people are curious about craps because of all the noise and reaction it evokes. Although online craps may seem a bit complicated to learn, after some learning, you'll be right in the heart of the action with everyone else.
An important part of learning how online craps is played, is to get to know the terms used to play the game. Let us look at some online craps terms. The Come Out Roll is where all the action begins. It is the 1st roll in a fresh game of craps made by the shooter and also the 1st roll after the point has been established.
The marker will let you know what stage the game is in. If the marker shows off and is black, the player has yet to make his point. If the marker shows on and is white and has been placed on a number, then that is the point, which the craps player has already established.
Online craps bets may seem intimidating too. The pass line bet is made by the player before the come out roll and pays even money. You win if you roll a 7 or 11 and you lose if you roll a 2, 3, or 12. All other numbers (4,5,6,8,9,10) will establish the point, which allows the game to continue. The player is now trying to roll his point number again before rolling a seven. If the seven comes up first the shooter loses and if he rolls his point before rolling a seven he wins.
The online craps don't pass bet is where the shooter wins on 2 or 3, ties on 12 and loses if he rolls either a 7 or 11. If the shooter rolls either 4,5,6,8,9,10 he establishes the point and when playing the Don't Pass bet the hope is that the shooter will roll a seven before he rolls his point number again.
The online craps come bet is placed after the shooter has made the Come Out roll. You place the come bet, the dice are rolled and the come bet then goes to the point figure that was rolled which then becomes the number you are gambling on. It's an extra bet to the pass line and allows you to cover more numbers.
