• Bank craps (Standard craps)

  Bank craps is the classic version you’ll see at most UK online casinos. It uses two dice and follows the familiar flow of a come-out roll, a point number, and bets on whether that point appears again before a 7. Once you’ve played a few rounds, the rhythm feels natural and the main bets offer some of the lowest house edges of any table game. If it’s your first few times, start here.
• Crapless craps

  Crapless craps gets rid of the chance of losing instantly on the come-out roll. Numbers such as 2, 3, 11, and 12 no longer count as “craps”; instead, they become point numbers. The trade-off? A much higher house edge. On the Pass Line, it goes from 1.41% to more than 5%, making the game less favourable for long-term play. It’s an interesting twist, but not the one if you want the best value.
• Simplified craps

  Simplified craps strips the game down to a single decision. No point numbers, no extended rounds; the next roll simply wins or loses based on its total. It’s spot on if you want a quick, low-pressure version of craps or you’re learning the basics. The streamlined rules come with a slightly higher house edge than standard craps, so it’s best as a casual alternative rather than your main game.
• Live dealer craps

  Live dealer craps streams a real table with a professional dealer and physical dice. You still place chips on a digital layout, but the social feel and atmosphere are much closer to a land-based casino. It isn’t available at every UK casino yet, but it’s worth trying when you find it.

1. 1

   The come-out roll

   Every round begins with the come-out roll. Before the dice are thrown, you choose either the Pass Line, which means betting with the shooter, or the Don’t Pass Line, which means betting against them.
2. 2

   Natural rolls (7 or 11)

   If the shooter rolls a 7 or 11, known as a natural, Pass Line bets win immediately and Don’t Pass bets lose.
3. 3

   Craps rolls (2, 3, or 12)

   If the roll is 2, 3, or 12, called craps, Pass Line bets lose. Don’t Pass bets win on 2 or 3, while 12 is a push.
4. 4

   Establishing the point

   If the shooter rolls 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10, that number becomes the point for the round.
5. 5

   The point phase

   The shooter keeps rolling. Pass Line bets win if the point appears again before a 7. Don’t Pass bets win if a 7 arrives first.
6. 6

   Ending the round

   Once either outcome hits, the round ends and a new come-out roll begins.
