Start with our craps guide to dice rules, pass line bets and the point. Follow a wager through the come-out roll and learn which settlement details to check.
Our craps coverage currently centres on one complete rules guide. It follows a line wager through the changing roll phases, explains the point and distinguishes the base bet from a separate odds wager. Use it as the starting place rather than assuming every dice result has the same meaning throughout a round.

This guide contains the roll sequence, examples and the relevant limits. Further pages will be added only when they answer a distinct question.
Two checks to make while reading the rules
- Identify whether the roll is a come-out roll or follows an established point. The same total can have a different role in those phases.
- Keep the line stake and any odds stake separate when reading profit odds and calculating the total returned.
