Casino Craps
The real felt table, with a crew and a full rail of players.
Casino craps is a shared table game with a crew of four and a rail of players betting on the same rolls. The pass line carries a 1.41% edge, and the free odds bet behind it has no house edge at all.
The centre of the table is where the money leaks: prop bets, hardways and the any-seven pay far less than their real odds. The pass line with odds is genuinely one of the best bets in the building.
How to play, step by step
- 01Place a pass line bet before the come-out roll.
- 02Once the point is set, add an odds bet behind the line — it pays true odds with no house edge.
- 03Cheer the point being made, and leave the prop bets alone.
Common strategies
None of these change the house edge. They change how long your bankroll lasts and how violently it swings.
Always take the odds
The odds bet is the only wager in the casino with no edge. If your bankroll can stand it, taking maximum odds lowers your overall edge dramatically.
Keep units small
Craps moves in bursts. Small pass line units with odds behind them survive the cold stretches that flatten flat-betting players.
Stay out of the centre
Hardways, any seven and the horn all carry edges from 9% to over 16%. They are fun to shout about and expensive to hold.
