You’ll be on a roll when you play online craps
When you start playing online craps at Platinum Play, you’ll go toe-to-toe against the casino. As daunting as this may sound, it really isn’t, because the premise of this table game is super simple: you roll a pair of dice on the craps table and predict the outcome of the roll. As you roll the dice, you are known as the shooter, and your first roll of a round is known as a come-out roll. There are two primary phases in online craps – the come-out phase and the point phase.
The come-out phase
- This is the first phase of a craps game, where your aim is to roll a Natural and win a Pass Line bet or Don’t Pass bet, or establish the Point
- The objective in this phase: to roll a 7 or an 11, while betting on the Pass Line. If you roll a 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10 instead, a Point is established
Come-out roll: This determined the Point.
Point phase
- This is the second phase, where your aim is to make the Point before rolling a total of 7. The aim is to then roll the Point once it is established
- The objective in this phase: to roll the same number as the Point, before you roll a 7
Pass Line bet: This is a bet that a Natural will be rolled. Alternatively, you (as the shooter) will establish the Point on the Come-Out roll. This means that the dice will pass or win
Betting and payout rules
- If the outcome of a roll of the dice is a total of 7 or 11, you win even-money on a Pass Line bet
- If the outcome of a roll is a total of 2, 3 or 12, the Pass Line bet is lost
- If the outcome of a roll is 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10, the number becomes the Point. You will continue to roll the dice until the Point is rolled again, or if a 7 is rolled
- If the Point is rolled again, the Pass Line bet pays even-money.
- If a 7 is rolled, the Pass Line bet is lost
- You can place an Odds bet (additional bets placed after the Come-out roll on the Pass Line bet, Don’t Pass bet, Come bet, Don’t Come bet and Place bet) once you have made the Point
- The Odds bet is placed next to the Pass Line bet
If you feel confident that you have this in the bag, then get your game face on and start playing!
