The game
How craps works
The pass line plus free odds is one of the best bets on the casino floor.
The goal
Bet on the outcome of the roll of two dice.
A round, step by step- Come-out roll: 7 or 11 wins a Pass Line bet; 2, 3 or 12 loses.
- Any other total becomes the "point".
- Keep rolling: hit the point again before a 7 to win.
- A 7 first ends the round and Pass Line bets lose.
