Craps is a game of pure chance where the house has the edge, so if you want to learn how to win at online Craps, you’ll need the same general approach as Roulette: Make the bets that have the lowest house edge, and manage your bankroll appropriately while playing. Here are seven specific tips to get you on the right track.
Play Craps online at Bovada
- Learn the odds: With two 6-sided dice, you can roll anything between a 2 and a 12, but you’re most likely to roll a 7. There are six ways (1-6, 6-1, 2-5, 5-2, 3-4, 4-3) out of a possible 36 to do this, compared to just one way (1-1) to roll Snake Eyes.
- Learn the layout: The Craps layout has room for a number of different bets; to make your bet, you have to put the chips in the right place. You might find it easier to use the New streamlined layout at Bovada if you’ve never tried Craps at a live, real money casino.
- Learn the bets: Playing Craps can be a bit overwhelming for beginners because there are so many different bets you can make. Start with the simplest one: the Pass Line bet. It’s the most basic bet in Craps, paying out at even money, and it’s got a low house edge at 1.41%.
- Take the odds: This is a special side bet you can make while playing at the Craps table with zero house edge attached. You make this bet after the “point” has been established on a Pass Line bet, and you’ll get paid if you roll that point again before rolling a 7. You can also “lay the odds” after the point has been established on a Don’t Pass wager; in this case, you’re gambling on rolling a 7 before rolling the point again.
- Watch out for Single bets: When playing, the Pass Line and Don’t Pass bets are multi-roll bets. You can also wager on a single roll of the dice, but these bets have a higher house edge, so don’t play them as often.
- Beware the ‘Any 7 bet’: This single bet has the highest house edge in Craps at 16.67%. Play it the least often compared to the other bets on the table.
- Practice: Craps, just like every other table game at Bovada Casino, can be played for free using the Practice Play mode. Take a moment to learn the rules, try a few practice rolls, and you’ll quickly get the hang of it.
There’s lots more to learn about all these table games, but if you follow these simple tips and strategies, you’ll be able to get the most fun out of your online, real money casino experience at Bovada. See you at the tables.
