How to play ?

The game begins when a player (called the shooter) makes either a Pass or Don't Pass bet and throws two dice for the Come Out roll.

Here are the Most Popular Bets:

Pass: A Pass bet wins when the result of the Come Out roll is a total of 7 or 11. A Pass bet loses if the result of the roll is a total of 2, 3 or 12 (also called craps). Any other result rolled during the Come Out roll (4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10) becomes "the point". In such a case, the shooter must roll this point again before a 7 is rolled for the bet to be a winner.

Don't pass: A Don't Pass bet wins when the result of the Come Out roll is a total of 2 or 3. If the total is 12, the bet is a push. If the result of the Come Out roll is 7 or 11, the bet loses. Any other total that is rolled during the Come Out roll (4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10) becomes the point. In such a case, the shooter must roll a 7 before he rolls the point again for the bet to be a winner.

Come: The Come bet, which may be made anytime after the Come Out roll, is similar to the Pass bet.

Don't come: The Don't come bet, which may be made anytime after the Come Out roll, is similar to the Don't Pass bet.

Associate Chances (Odds): After the Come Out roll, the player may place an additional wager on his Pass, Come,Don't Pass or Don't Come bet to increase his stakes. This is what is called taking odds on Pass or Come, or laying odds on Don't Pass or Don't Come.
