How to Play Online Craps, Sic-bo and Others
Craps is a game that can definitely be treated as one of three pillars of table games together with Poker and Roulette. Craps rules are not as simple as it might seem, but at the same time there are different peculiarities, which make this entertainment very exciting and interesting. The best appraisal of the popularity is that the game is represented in practically all more or less good Australian online casino.
The game is underway on the table with some sectors, where bets are made and 2 dices that are thrown on the table to define the result of every turn. There are also used so called Pucks, which are put on the table, depending on the situation. When this “disc” is put with upward title “ON”, it means that the Point is set, and the second round takes part. When there’s “OFF” on the Pucks, there is no game.
Casino Craps rules are better to be described by explaining the course of the game. The first round is called Come out Roll. The players make bets on Pass Line. A Shooter (a man who drops the dices) makes one attempt, and then the result is checked. There can be 11 possible variants of 2 dices’ sum.

3 | 1-2, 2-1 |
4 | 1-3, 2-2, 3-1 |

If there’s 7 or 11, it’s so called Pass that means win in the game after the first Roll. 2, 3 or 12 is Crap and the loss after the first round. 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 and 10 is a Point that moves the game into the second round.
The second round is called Point Roll. The main point in this part of the game is that one that was thrown in the first round. The point is “fixed” by Pucks with “ON” on the top. The marker is placed on Across Line. The players should “confirm” their Point to win or to throw 7 that will mean loss in the game. Then the game is over and the next turn starts.
Dice Craps rules will not be complete without the description of possible chances to win, and what size of the profit is available. The below list explains the main bets in the game.
There are some other specific bets, like Pass Line Odds, Come Odds and some other variants, but it will be enough to start own way in the world of Craps for the beginners. More of this it’s never late to develop own skills.
