The game of Craps
is an exciting game of chance, popular since the times of the
Romans. The objective of Craps is to predict the outcome of a roll
of the dice.
Your chips are
stacked by denomination ($1, $5, $25, $100, $500) at the bottom
right hand corner of the screen above your Username. Select the
amount you would like to wager on a given roll(s) by clicking the
left mouse button on the chip of that denomination. This activates
that specific chip denomination. Next, place your bet on the Craps
table by clicking on a bet field. To specify a bet that does not
equal to an existing chip denomination, simply click on another
chip denomination after placing your previous chip on the table.
For example, to bet $30, click on the $25 chip and place it on the
table then click on the $5 chip and place it on top of the $25
chip. There are many types of bets available in Craps (both
regular and "supplementary" ones after the first roll),
all of which are summarized in the following two sections below.
Your total bet will be displayed in the "Total Bet"
field to the right of your Balance. You have the option of
throwing the dice yourself or having the computer throw the dice
for you.
If you prefer to
throw the dice yourself please ensure that the checkbox just below
the Roll button is selected. Once you have placed your bet(s) on
the table, press the "Roll" button. A new game window
will appear at the right-hand side of the screen. Simply pick up
the dice that are sitting in the dice tray by left-clicking on
them. To release the dice, simply release the left-mouse button.
This shooter window will close automatically once the dice have
stopped rolling.
If you prefer not
to throw the dice make sure that the checkbox underneath the Roll
button is de-selected. After placing your bets on the table click
on the Roll button and the dice will be rolled for you. The
outcome for the last five rolls is displayed in the top left-hand
corner of the screen. Anytime you win or lose money, a message
will be displayed in a rectangular window at the top of the game
screen. You may close this window by clicking on the 'x' in the
top-left corner of the window.
Some bets are
available only for the come out roll. A black marker is displayed
in the top left-hand corner of the Craps table prior to a come out
roll. Some bets are available only after a Point has been
established. A Point is established if the come out roll is either
4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10. The number rolled, is called the Point and
the next roll(s) is called the Point roll. Point rolls continue
until the shooter rolls a 7 or the Point. Once this happens, the
sequence starts again with the next roll as a come out roll.
