Craps

Each wager is dependent upon the point value of the uppermost side of the
two dice that have come to rest after having been thrown by a player called
the “Shooter”.

A.  Pass Line - You win on 7 and 11 and lose on 2,3, or 12 on the come out
roll (the first roll). If any other number rolls, it’s your “point”. If
your point rolls before 7, you win. After the come out roll, if 7 rolls
before your point, you lose and the dice moves to the next player.  Pass
Line Bets cannot be reduced or removed after a point is established, but
may be placed or increased.

B. Don’t Pass Line -   The opposite of the Pass Line. You lose on the 7 and
11 and win on 2 and 3 on the come out roll (the first roll). When 12 is
rolled, it is a standoff. If any other number rolls, it is your “point”.
You are betting that 7 will be rolled before the point. This bet must be
placed before the come out roll. Don’t Pass Line Bets cannot be placed or
increased, but may be removed or decreased, after a point is established.

C.  Come Bets - You can place a Come Bet at any time after the come out
roll. It is like starting over, creating a whole new game within a game.
You can win on 7 and 11 and lose on 2, 3, or 12 on the roll immediately
following placement of the bet. If any other number rolls, it is your
“point”. If your point rolls before a 7, you win. If 7 rolls before your
point, you lose. A Come Bet cannot be reduced or removed after the come
point is established.

D. Don’t Come Bets - The reverse of a Come Bet. You lose on the 7 and 11
and win on 2 and 3 on the roll immediately following placement of the bet.
When 12 is rolled, it is a standoff. If any other number rolls, it is your
“point”.  You are betting that 7 will be rolled before the
Point. When the point is established, the bet will be placed behind that
number. Don’t Come Bets cannot be placed or increased, but may be removed,
or decreased after the point is established - but may not be replaced.

E. Place Bets - May be made any time. You bet on any individual number (4,
5, 6, 8, 9, and 10). If your number is rolled before a 7, you win. Should a
7 be rolled after making a Place Bet, you lose.

F. Buy Bets - “Buy Bets” are exactly the same as “Place Bets” except by
paying a 5% commission on the bet you receive true odds.  A “Buy” button
denotes this bet.

G. Lay Bets - You may lay a bet against 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10 at any time.
In order to do so, you must pay a 5% commission based on what you would
win.  A “Lay” button denotes this bet. Check the chart for payoffs.

H. Odds - (Supplemental Wagers) An additional wager in support of a Pass
Line or Come Bet may be made. Also, an additional wager in support of a
Don’t Pass or Don’t Come Bet which allows you to win an amount equal to
your original bet may be made.Come Odds, Buy Bets and Place Bets have no
action on the come out roll unless designated otherwise by the player. The
player is responsible for placing Pass Line Odds and keeping track of all
bets.

I. Big Six - You can bet on the “Big Six” at any time. If a 6 rolls before
a 7, you win.

J. Big Eight - You can bet on the “Big Eight” at any time. If an 8 rolls
before a 7, you win.

K. Field Bet - A Field Bet is one roll bet that can be made on the number
2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11 and 12 on any roll of the dice. All numbers pay even
money, except 2 and 12 which pay double. If any other number appears, the
bet loses.

L. Any Craps - A one roll bet, if any craps (2, 3, or 12) is rolled, the
bet wins. If any other number rolls, the bet loses.

M. Craps 2 - A one roll bet wins if 2 is rolled and loses if any other
number is rolled.

N. Craps 3 - A one roll bet that wins when 3 rolls and loses if any other
number is rolled.

O. Craps 12 - A one roll bet that wins when 12 is rolled, and loses if any
other number is rolled.

P. Any 7 - A one roll bet that wins when 7 rolls, and loses if any other
number is rolled.

Q. Eleven - A one roll bet that wins when 11 rolls, and loses if any other
number is rolled.
