Craps Live from Evolution Gaming is the online live casino game that everybody has been waiting for. Evolution have adapted this world famous community dice game and stylishly packaged it with a theme of a 1920's speakeasy underground club. Expect fast paced action with wins galore as you experience the very first live craps game online.

To put it quite simply, craps is a dice game in which players place their bets on the outcome of the roll of two dice, or on a series of rolls. Generally speaking, players have the possibility of wagering money against one another, which is known as “street craps” or by playing against the bank, which is the craps we’re going to be looking at here. 

The game has various slang terminology that players will use in land-based situations, but since craps is also played online, this won’t be seen as much. 

As with a table game like roulette, if you pick the correct type of dice outcome, you receive a pay-out depending upon the bet that you placed on such. And as with roulette, craps may look quite confusing to any newcomer due to the masses of numbers seen on the betting table, the different terms being used and the various bets that can be placed. Yet, it’s actually not that difficult to understand and play craps. 

Essentially, you can learn about gameplay with three simple steps kept in mind whenever you access it.

Does the mechanical arm throw the dice at the same speed and power each time? - When you think about playing Craps, you know that it would be impossible to be able to throw the dice in exactly the same manner each time that you played. Evolution have also taken this into consideration, with each throw that is made by the mechanical arm differing in strength and speed each time. 

Are the dice loaded into the mechanical arm in the same position for each throw? - The dice will be loaded into the mechanical arm in random positions for each throw that takes place. This will be shown to you so that you can choose your bets accordingly to what numbers are showing face up on the dice.

Natural – Should you manage to roll either a 7 or an 11, then this is what is determined as a Natural. If this is the case, then you win and get to roll the dice once more. 
Craps – This is when you would lose, and this occurs if you roll a 2, 3 or 12. Again, you get to roll again, though. 
Point – All of the other numbers that you could possibly roll would result in a Point outcome. If you’re playing online craps, then a small button will appear that has the word ‘On’ written on it. In this case, you’ll need to roll the dice again and hope that you hit the exact same outcome as before. The number 7 appearing at this point would be a bad thing, since if you do so, you’ll ‘seven-out’ – essentially, you lose the round.

Pass and Don’t Pass Bets 

There are two areas on the table marked as ‘Pass Line’ and ‘Don’t Pass’. Either of these can be wagered on, with the pass line bet meaning that you’re gambling on the shooter winning by rolling out a natural or winning before seven-ing out. 

At the opposite end of the scale, a ‘Don’t Pass’ bet will see you wagering on exactly the opposite. So, you’re betting on the fact that the shooter will lose. 

If a 12 is rolled at any point, then this becomes a push outcome, which essentially means that you get your stake back in full. So, you don’t win or lose in this circumstance. 

These ‘pass’ and ‘don’t pass’ bets are only available before the point has been established on the craps table. After that has been established, you can place additional wagers.

Come and Don’t Come Bets 

Following the point being determined, you can move on to ‘Come’ or ‘Don’t Come’ bets. The former of these will be a winner if a natural is rolled out but loses if craps are rolled. If the point is rolled out though, it becomes the ‘Come-Bet Point’. 

In this instance, things work in exactly the same way as the pass line bet. If the come-bet point rolls out again before a 7 does, you’re the winner of the round. If not, then you lose. And again, on the other end of the scale, it’s completely the opposite if you wager on the ‘Don’t Come’ section of the table. So, if the shooter rolls a 2 or 3, then you’re in luck, but if it’s a 7 or 11, it’s a loss for this bet. A 12 outcome would result in a push outcome again. 

The key thing to remember here is that once the point is made, you should really hope for a 7 to occur before the shooter rolls out the point again. Additional bets can also be made on the come-bet point too, if you so wish. 

Proposition Bets 

On any roll, you’re able to place a proposition bet (with the exception of a single possibility). The exception to these proposition bets is called ‘Hard Ways’. You’ll win if you roll a 4, 6, 8 or 10 (depending upon which of these you bet on) with doubles, prior to any other combination that makes a sum or a 7. 

Final Few Bet Possibilities 

There are just three different additional betting options that you can place while playing craps, which start with the ‘Place Bets’. This is possible to do once you know the point. On the table you will see specific numbers that you can bet on running along the top. These are 4, 5, Six, 8, Nine and 10. You’ll win such a bet if this number is rolled out before a 7, or you lose if it isn’t rolled out. 

‘Field bets’ are also possible, which should be clearly marked on the craps table. This option is only available for one dice roll and you win if a 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11 or 12 is rolled. The other numbers are losing outcomes when it comes to field bets. A 2 will pay out double and a 12 will pay out triple in this case. 

And finally, you can find ‘Big 6 bets’ and ‘Big 8 bets’ at some craps tables. Should you wish to wager on a 6 or 8 being rolled before the 7, then these provide such opportunities, but will only pay out 1:1.

The first of the three rules that you need to keep in mind is that the craps betting round starts with something known as the “come-out roll”. This is what describes the first roll of the dice or the first one that occurs after the previous betting round has come to an end. The player who throws the dice is known as “the shooter”. 

So, when you’re playing in an online environment, you’ll pretty much always be shooter, due to the fact that you need to hit the “roll” button to ensure things proceed with the game. One the dice land on their respective numbers, three possible outcomes could have occurred, which are the following:

Natural – Should you manage to roll either a 7 or an 11, then this is what is determined as a Natural. If this is the case, then you win and get to roll the dice once more. 
Craps – This is when you would lose, and this occurs if you roll a 2, 3 or 12. Again, you get to roll again, though. 
Point – All of the other numbers that you could possibly roll would result in a Point outcome. If you’re playing online craps, then a small button will appear that has the word ‘On’ written on it. In this case, you’ll need to roll the dice again and hope that you hit the exact same outcome as before. The number 7 appearing at this point would be a bad thing, since if you do so, you’ll ‘seven-out’ – essentially, you lose the round.

Craps is a community game, can I see what other players are betting on? - Part of the attraction when playing Craps in a casino is that you can see what other players have placed their bets on. Evolution Gaming are fully aware of the community factor that comes with playing Craps, so they have a screen display of what numbers other players are hoping to see when the dice are thrown. 

What about sharing the thrill of winning with other players? - Making Craps Live as close to the land based casino game as possible was the goal for Evolution. They know that sharing the jubilation of a win with fellow players who are also hoping for the same outcome as yourself is a major part of the game. So what better way to celebrate than to add a cheer button that you can hit when your winning numbers come in to share your success with the community.
