Craps Rules

How to Play Craps Online

Before you roll the dice you need to decide how much you would like to bet. Your chips are stacked in order of value at the bottom of your game screen. Your left mouse button on the desired chip amount will increase the wager whereas the right button will decrease the wager amount. It is then a case of clicking on what you would like to wager on the craps table.

Craps offers you a varied selection of bets you can choose (both regular and "supplementary" ones after the first roll), all of which are summarised in the next section below. The 'total bet' field next to your balance in your game window indicates all the money you have placed on the one roll.

You have the option of throwing the dice yourself or having the computer throw the dice for you. If you prefer to throw the dice yourself please ensure that the checkbox just below the 'done' button is selected. Once you have placed your bet(s) on the Craps table, press the 'done' button. A new game window will appear at the right hand side of the screen. Simply pick up the dice that are sitting in the dice tray by left-clicking on them. To release the dice, simply release the left mouse button. This shooter window will close automatically once the dice have stopped rolling.

If you prefer not to throw the dice make sure that the checkbox underneath the 'done' button is de-selected. After placing your bets on the table click on the 'done' button and the dice will be rolled for you.

The results of the last five rolls are displayed in the top left-hand corner of the screen for your information. Your win and lose details will be displayed in a rectangular window at the top of the game screen. You may minimise this window by clicking on the 'x' in the top-left corner of the window.

Placing Bets & Odds in Craps

Some Craps bets are available only for the first roll (the come out roll). A black marker is displayed in the top left hand corner of the online Craps table prior to a come out roll. Some bets are available only after a 'point' has been established. A 'point' is established if the come out roll is either 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10. The number rolled, is called the 'point' and the next roll(s) is called the 'point roll'. Point rolls continue until the shooter rolls a 7 or the point. Once this happens, the sequence starts again with the next roll as a come out roll.

Craps payouts with Littlewoods are rounded down to the nearest £1. For example a "Place Bet to Win" for £5 bet will result in a payout of £5 (not £5.83) on roll of a 6 or a 8. You can ensure a full payout by modifying your bet(s) accordingly. A message box will be displayed thereby allowing you to avoid this situation. If this message box is displayed then clicking on "Yes" will update your bets automatically. In the previous example your £5 bet would be updated to £6 and so your payout would be £7.
