Craps Game Rules

The goal of craps is to successfully predict the outcome of the roll of two dice. While there are many types of bets that can be made, with varying payouts, the most common bets are the Pass Line and Don't Pass bets.

Craps is played with two dice in a series of rounds; each new round begins with the roll of the dice, called the "come-out roll." The person rolling the dice is known as the "shooter." Depending on what is rolled, the game play progresses as described below.

If the come-out roll is a 7 or 11, also known as a "natural," the round ends here and bets are won or lost.

If the come-out roll is a 2, 3 or 12, also known as "craps," again the round ends here and bets are won or lost.

If the come-out roll is a 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10, that number becomes the "point" and the round continues. The round will end only when the shooter rolls the point again, or a 7, known as "7 out."

Before you can roll the dice you must place a bet on the table. The types of bets available in craps are described below.

Bets

Pass Line bet

A pass line bet wins if the come-out roll is a 7 or 11 (a natural) and loses if it is 2, 3 or 12 (craps).

If the come-out roll is any other number, that number becomes point and is marked on the table with the "on" puck.

"On" puck marking point as 8.

If the shooter rolls point again before rolling a 7, the pass line bet wins. If, however, the shooter rolls a 7 before rolling the point, the pass line bet loses.

To place this bet, click on the "Pass Line." Once point has been established you cannot reduce the amount or remove the bet, nor can you place a new bet. The payout for this bet is 1:1.

Pass Line Bet

Don't Pass bet

This is the inverse of the Pass Line bet. This bet wins if the come-out roll is 2 or 3 (craps) and loses if it is a 7 or 11 (natural). A 12 is a push and the bet is returned.

If any other number is rolled, that becomes the point and is marked on the table with the "on" puck. If the shooter rolls a 7 before rolling the point again, the Don't Pass bet wins. If the shooter rolls the point before a 7, the Don't Pass bet loses.

To place this bet, click on the "Don't Pass Bar." Once point has been established, this bet can be reduced or even removed, but cannot be placed or increased. The payout for this bet is 1:1.

Don't Pass Bet

"Come Out" Roll	Result
7 or 11	Pass Line bet wins Don't Pass bet loses
2, 3 or 12	Pass Line bet loses Don't Pass bet wins on 2 or 3 and pushes on 12
4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10 - Point is established	Pass Line bet wins if point is rolled again before a 7 Don't Pass bet wins if 7 is rolled before point is rolled again

Come bet

The Come bet has the same rules as the Pass Line bet, with the exception that it can only be made after point has been set. In other words, you can't make this bet on the come-out roll.

After you place the Come bet, you win if the next dice roll is a 7 or 11, and lose if it is 2, 3 or 12. If any other number is rolled, that becomes the Come Point, and you will only win if the come point is rolled again before a 7. If a 7 is rolled before the come point, you lose.

If a come point is established, your bet will be moved to the row of numbers at the top of the screen and placed on the come point number.

Come bet, with come point set to 5.

To place this bet, click on the "Come Bar." Once the come point has been established, this bet cannot be reduced or removed. The payout is 1:1.

Come bet

Don't Come bet

The Don't Come bet is the inverse of the Come bet, and it can only be made after point has been established.

After you place the Don't Come bet, you win if the next dice roll is a 2 or 3 (12 is a push and your bet is returned). You lose if the roll is a 7 or 11. If any other number is rolled it becomes the Come point. You win if 7 is rolled before the come point, and lose if the come point is rolled before 7.

If a come point is established, your bet will be moved to the area directly above the row of numbers at the top of the screen and placed above the come point.

Don't Come bet, with come point set to 10.

To place this bet, click on the "Don't Come Bar." This bet can be reduced or removed at any time, even after the come point has been established. The payout is 1:1.

Don't Come bet

Odds Bet

After point is established, if you have a Pass Line, Don't Pass, Come or Don't Come bet, you can make an additional bet with an Odds bet.

This is a popular bet because it pays "true odds." That is, the odds are based on comparing the chance of your number being rolled before the 7. The image below shows the breakdown of the chances of rolling each number, based on the total possible combinations. Seven has six different combinations and therefore has the highest chance of being rolled.

True Odds

Point	Pass Line, Come Odds bet pays
4 or 10	2:1
5 or 9	3:2
6 or 8	6:5

Point	Don't Pass Line, Don't Come Odds bet pays
4 or 10	1:2
5 or 9	2:3
6 or 8	5:6

Pass Line Odds

To place the Pass Line Odds bet, click in the area directly below your original bet. Your Odds bet can only be 3x your initial bet.

These bets can be placed, increased, decreased or removed at any time after point has been established.

Come Bet Odds

To place the Come Odds bet, click to the right of your Come bet. Your Odds bet can only be 3x your initial bet.

These bets can be placed, increased, decreased or removed at any time after the come point has been established.

Don't Pass Odds

To place the Don't Pass Odds bet, click to the right of your Don't Pass Line bet. Your Odds bet can only be 3x your initial bet.

These bets can be placed, increased, decreased or removed at any time after point has been established.

Don't Come Odds

To place the Don't Come Odds bet, click to the right of your Don't Come bet. Your Odds bet can only be 3x your initial bet.

These bets can be placed, increased, decreased or removed at any time after point has been established.

Place bets

A Place bet is a bet on a specific number. You can make this bet at any time, but it will be "off" or inactive during the come-out roll. You can bet on 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10, and you win if your number is rolled before a 7.

To make this bet, click on the area directly below the row of numbers at the top of the table. You can remove this bet at anytime. Place bets stay up after winning and must be removed manually to be taken down.

NOTE: Existing Place bets are off, or inactive, during a come-out roll.

Place bet

The payout varies based on the number chosen.

Point	Place bet pays
4 or 10	9:5
5 or 9	7:5
6 or 8	7:6

If you click the "Place Across" button, your bet will be placed on every number except the number that is point. The bet will be made with the current denomination selected.

Buy bets

A Buy bet is similar to a Place bet in that you're betting on a specific number: 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10. If your number is rolled before 7, you win.

Where the buy bet differs is that it pays out true odds and has a Vigorish, or "vig," of 5% of your bet (which is taken from the winnings).

To make this bet, click on the lower half of the number you want, in the row of numbers at the top of the table. You can make this bet at any time, including at the come-out roll. You can also remove this bet at any time.

NOTE: Existing Buy bets are off, or inactive, during the come-out roll.

Buy bet

The payout varies based on the number chosen.

Point	Buy bet pays
4 or 10	2:1 (less 5% of bet amount)
5 or 9	3:2 (less 5% of bet amount)
6 or 8	6:5 (less 5% of bet amount)

Lay bets

Lay bets are the inverse of the Buy bet. You're betting that 7 will be rolled before a specific number. You can bet on 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10. If 7 is rolled before your number, you win. If your number is rolled before 7, you lose.

This bet also pays out true odds and has a vig of 5% of your winnings.

To make this bet, click on the area directly above the row of numbers at the top of the table, above the number of your choice. You can make this bet at any time, including at the come-out roll. Unlike a Buy bet, you cannot remove this bet once it's been made.

NOTE: Existing Lay bets are on, or active, during the come-out roll.

Lay bet

The payout varies based on the number chosen.

Point	Lay bet pays
4 or 10	1:2 (less 5% of winnings)
5 or 9	2:3 (less 5% of winnings)
6 or 8	5:6 (less 5% of winnings)

Big Six, Big Eight bets

This is a bet that a 6 or an 8 will be rolled before a 7. It can be made at any time, including the come-out roll. It can also be removed at any time. To make this bet, click on the section of the table marked "Big 6" or "Big 8." The payout is 1:1.

Big 6, Big 8 bet

Field bet

The Field bet is a bet on one dice roll only. You're not betting on a specific number but on a field of numbers: 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11 and 12.

To make this bet, simple click on the section of the table marked "Field." Field bets pay 1:1, with the exception of 2 and 12, which pay 2:1.

Field bet

Proposition Bets: One Roll and Hardway bets

One Roll Bets

The one roll bets can be made at any time, including before the come-out roll. As the name suggests, these are for one roll only.

One Roll bets

Bet	Description	Payout
Any Seven	The next roll will be a 7	4:1
Two ("snake eyes")	The next roll will be a 2	30:1
Twelve ("boxcars")	The next roll will be a 12	30:1
Horn Bet (the value of your bet is divided between the 2, 3, 11 and 12)	The next roll will be a 2, 3, 11 or 12	2 or 12 pays 30:1 3 or 11 pays 15:1
Three	The next roll will be a 3	15:1
Eleven	The next roll will be an 11	15:1
Any Craps	The next roll will be a 2, 3 or 12	7:1

Hardway Bets

The Hardway bets cannot be placed before the come-out roll, and they last for more than just a single roll. Hardway bets win if the number is rolled the "hardway" (that is 2-2 for a 4; 3-3 for a 6, 4-4 for an 8 and 5-5 for a 10) before a 7 is rolled, or the soft number is rolled (i.e. 4-2 for a 6, or 6-4 for a 10).

Hardway bet

Bet	Wins if rolled before	Payout
Hard 4	7 or soft four (1+3 or 3+1)	7:1
Hard 6	7 or soft six (1+5, 5+1, 2+4 or 4+2)	9:1
Hard 8	7 or soft eight (2+6 , 6+2, 3+5 or 5+3)	9:1
Hard 10	7 or soft ten (4+6 or 6+4)	7:1

Texas Hold 'Em Poker Game Rules

Texas Hold 'Em Poker is a multiplayer game where each player receives two hole cards, face down, plus five community cards that are shared among all players. The community cards are dealt in rounds with the opportunity to bet or raise. The player who can make the best 5-card poker hand from the seven available cards wins the pot. This version of Texas Hold 'Em features computer players.

• One 52-card deck is used, and re-shuffled between each hand.
• In the case of a tie, the players split the pot evenly.
• During the first two rounds of betting, the low stake is used; during the last two rounds of betting, the high stake is used.
• The amount of the stakes increases every time the dealer button has made a full orbit of the table.
• The Small and Big Blinds are posted automatically. The big blind is equal to the low stake, and the small blind is half of that amount.

HOW TO PLAY

Each Texas Hold 'Em Poker game has a buy-in amount. You bring this amount of credits to the table with you, and can continue playing as long as you have credits. The game will continue until there is only one player left who has won all the credits.

There is no ante. Instead, there is a small and big blind that must be made. These are made by the two players to the left of the dealer. The player to the immediate left of the dealer must post the small blind, and the player to the left of the small blind bettor must post the big blind. The player who is dealer rotates clockwise around the table after each hand so everyone at some point must post a blind.

Betting

Once the blinds are posted, two cards are dealt face down to each player. These are called the Hole cards. The first of four rounds of betting now occurs. Starting with the player to left of the big blind bettor, the player has three choices: He can call the big blind, he can fold, or he can raise. Play moves clockwise around the table.

After the initial round of betting, the first three community cards, called The Flop, are dealt face up in the center of the table. There will be five community cards total dealt, and they are shared by all players. After the flop, a second round of betting occurs, this time beginning with the first active player to the left of the dealer. He can fold, check — which puts no money down — or raise. If the player decides to raise, then each successive player must decide to either fold, call or add their own raise.

The fourth community card, called the Turn, is dealt face up to the center of the table. This is followed by the third round of betting, again starting with the first active player to the dealer's left and moving clockwise around the table.

The fifth and final community card, called the River, is dealt. This is followed by the fourth and final rounding of betting.

The Showdown

Once the betting is complete, it is time for the showdown. The first active player to the left of the dealer must flip over his two hole cards. The best 5-card poker hand possible is made using the community cards and his hole cards. Moving clockwise around the table, each active player then has the choice to flip over his hole cards to make a claim on the pot, or decide to "muck it" and not show their cards, forfeiting a claim on the pot.

The player with the highest poker hand wins the pot. In the case where the players use only the five community cards to form the strongest hand, the game is a tie and all such players evenly split the pot.

Results

If you win, the chips from the pot will be added to your bank. The message area will display the results of the bet.

Verification

All game outcomes remain on the table in full view for your examination until you click the "NEXT HAND" button.
