Craps Online - Online casino game
Craps is a game that can be as simple or as
complicated as you desire. Everything depends on the
bets you're placing. At its core, craps is a table game
played by several players, with one of the players (the
one who rolls the dice) called the "shooter." It
involves the shooter rolling the dice, and all of the
players betting on the numbers that come up or don't
come up.
The nature of craps makes it a very different game
online than it is in a casino, but some sites have
succeeded in making the online variety just as exciting.
The added bonus, of course, is that you can play online
craps in the comfort of your own home. Checking out the
table layout could make you conclude that it is a
complicated and confusing game due to the many betting
options available. However, the game is simple, and to
the educated gambler - even simpler because he knows
that in fact, there are only three major bets to be
considered when slashing the casino advantage down to
less than 1%. Craps is one of the few truly social
casino games, and one of the few played with dice. While
the game's apparent complexity and odd terminology may
be intimidating, you will find the game of Craps easy to
learn, enjoyable and rewarding.
Your best bets in craps are the pass line, don't pass,
the come box and don't come. What makes these bets so
appealing is that you can get odds on these bets,
betting extra money at no house edge. You can't find a
better bet at a casino than one that doesn't have a
house edge, so take advantage of these bets. Don't pass
offers slightly better odds than the pass line, but most
people are reluctant to bet don't pass at a live casino
because they are betting "against" the shooter and most
other people at the table. At an online craps game,
there's no one to bet against, so feel free to play that
don't pass bet as often as you want.
The most common bet to place is on the “pass line”. You
can win on this bet if the shooter throws a 7, 11 or
makes the point.
There is also the option of betting on the “don’t pass
line”. This is in essence betting against the shooter,
but it is all about whether you win or lose at the end
of the day. There is one instance where this type of bet
will tie and this occurs if the shooter throws a double
6. This allows you to either take your bet back or leave
it for the next throw.
In terms of the amount of money wagered, Craps has
become one of the biggest gambling games worldwide.
Seeing the game portrayed in many Hollywood films has
helped to increase its popularity.
In the 1990s, the popularity of Craps in land-based
casinos went down because slots and other casino games
became the new hype. Many players also felt somewhat
intimidated with all the activity which surrounds Craps
tables. When online casinos began, and also offered
Craps as one of their games, it began to regain its
popularity. All the best online casinos offer Craps
games to their players. |
