About Craps

Objective: Bet on the outcome of two dice before "crapping out" (i.e. rolling a 7). The first roll of a round is the come-out roll. Roll a 7 or 11 and the Pass Line wins straight away. Roll a 2, 3, or 12 and it loses. Anything else becomes your point, and you keep rolling the dice until you hit either a 7 or your match point. Hit the point again before a 7 and you win the round. Roll the 7 first and the bet is gone. If you want, make additional bets on single numbers, on the next roll, and against the shooter for more opportunities to win before crapping out.

Acebet Craps is a provably fair Original with the full table: Pass Line, Don't Pass, Come, Don't Come, Field, Place, Lay, hardways, and the proposition bets. You play free-to-play with Gold Coins, or with Sweeps Coins you can redeem for real prizes.

How to play Acebet Original Craps

1. Set your play amount. Enter your SC amount or use the 1/2, x2, and Max shortcuts. This is the value of one chip.

2. Place your bets. Click a spot on the layout to drop a chip there, and click again to stack another. Most players open on the Pass Line. Undo removes your last chip and Clear wipes the felt. Table Amount shows what is riding on the table, and Round Amount shows what you have staked this round.

3. Throw the come-out roll. Press Play Game. The first roll of a round does one of three things, and which one decides whether you are paid immediately, wiped out immediately, or still in it:

  • 7 or 11. The Pass Line wins even money at x2.0 and the round ends right there. You start a fresh come-out roll.
  • 2, 3, or 12. This is "craps." The Pass Line loses and the round ends. Don't Pass wins on 2 and 3, and 12 is barred, so a 12 pushes and your Don't Pass chip is returned.
  • 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10. Nobody wins or loses yet. That number becomes the point, and the puck above it flips from OFF to ON.

4. Chase the point. Once a point is set, only two numbers matter: your point, and 7. Keep rolling.

  • The point rolls again first. The Pass Line wins even money. The puck flips back to OFF and the next roll is a new come-out.
  • A 7 rolls first. This is "sevening out." The Pass Line loses, the number bets on the table come down, and the round is over.

Any other total resolves nothing on the line, and the dice roll again until the point or the 7 arrives.

5. Back your point with odds. Once the puck reads ON, you can drop extra chips into the Pass Odds strip behind your line bet, and they ride on the exact same result: your point arriving before a 7.

Your original Pass Line chip pays even money at x2.0 whatever the point is, and that mismatch is where its 1.41% edge comes from. The odds chips pay what the number is worth, which is x3.0 on a 4 or 10, x2.5 on a 5 or 9, and x2.2 on a 6 or 8. The house takes nothing from them. It is the only 0% house edge bet on the table, and it exists only while a point is up.

6. Work the rest of the table. The Pass Line and its odds are one position. Everything else on the layout is open to you at the same time. Come bets, Place bets on individual numbers, the Field, the hardways, and the one-roll props are all live while the dice keep rolling. The next section covers what each one does.

Two toggles sit under the button. Press Bets returns your winnings onto your active spots between rolls instead of paying them to your balance. Enable Tooltips shows each spot's payout multiplier when you hover it.

Craps is manual by design. There is no Auto mode, because bets change between rolls.

What else is live while the point is on

The Pass Line is one chip. The rest of the layout is working alongside it, on its own rules, and a single roll can settle several bets at once.

Come and Don't Come. These are the Pass Line's twin, started mid-round. Drop a chip on COME and the next roll becomes that chip's private come-out: a 7 or 11 wins it, a 2, 3, or 12 loses it, and any other number becomes its own come point. The chip then moves up into that number's box along the top of the layout, and from there it wins if its number rolls before a 7. You can have several Come bets working on different numbers at the same time, and each one takes its own odds behind it at true odds and zero house edge. That is how you cover several numbers without touching a prop.

Place bets. A chip on Place 4 through Place 10 is a flat bet that its number rolls before a 7. It ignores the point and sits there working.

The Field. This one settles on every roll. The dice land and your Field chip either pays or is gone.

Hardways. A bet that a number turns up as a double before it turns up the easy way or a 7 shows. Hard 8 needs 4 and 4, so a 6 and 2 loses it.

One-roll props. Seven, Eleven, Three Craps, Any Craps, Snake Eyes, and Box Cars are decided by the next roll, win or lose, and then they are done.

Sevening out clears the felt. A single 7 during the point phase pays the Seven prop and any Don't bets, and in the same moment it takes down the Pass Line, every Come bet, every Place bet, and every hardway on the table.

Reading the payouts

Acebet posts payouts as a total-return multiplier rather than as odds. An x2.0 spot returns your play amount plus the same again, which is an even-money 1 to 1 bet. An x3.0 spot returns triple, which is 2 to 1. Turn on tooltips and every spot on the layout will show you its multiplier before you commit a chip.

Every dice total, and what it pays

Two dice make 36 possible combinations. Seven has six of them, more than any other total, which is why it ends the point phase and why every number bet is priced against it. The totals at the edges are rare, and the payouts on them look generous until you set them beside how often they land.

The house edge below is the share of every SC wagered that the game keeps over the long run, calculated from Acebet's own posted multipliers.

Seven is the worst bet on the table. It pays 4 to 1 on the single most likely roll in the game, whose true odds are 5 to 1, and the game keeps the difference on every hit.

Place 6 and Place 8 are the best of the number bets at 1.52%, because 6 and 8 are the most common numbers after 7 and Acebet pays them at x2.17.

The line bets

These are not tied to a single number, and they carry the lowest house edge on the layout.

Hard 4 / Hard 104 or 10 rolled as a double, before an easy one or a 7x8.011.11%
Any Craps2, 3, or 12 on one rollx8.011.11%

A hardway means the double: a hard 8 is 4 and 4, not 6 and 2. There is only one way to roll it and many ways to lose it, which is where the 9.09% comes from.

The Odds bet, and why it matters

The Odds bet is the only wager in any casino that carries no house edge at all. It becomes available once a point is set, and it sits behind your Pass Line or Don't Pass chip. Acebet pays it at true odds, which you can check yourself on the layout: a point of 4 or 10 returns x3.0 (2 to 1), a point of 5 or 9 returns x2.5 (3 to 2), and a point of 6 or 8 returns x2.2 (6 to 5). Those are the exact mathematical odds of hitting the number before a 7.

Taking odds does not cut the SC the house expects to keep from your Pass Line chip. What it does is add money to the table that the house takes nothing from, which drags the edge on your total stake down. Back a 1.41% Pass Line with a matching odds bet and the blended edge on everything you have out there falls to roughly 0.85%. Back it with more and it keeps falling.

Pro Tip: Take odds behind your line bet whenever a point is on. The Odds bet only appears after a point is set, and it sits in an unmarked strip behind the line rather than on a labelled box, so it is easy to walk past on the layout. It is the only spot on the table the house takes nothing from.

Why play Craps at Acebet

Acebet is a free-to-play social casino. You play craps with Gold Coins for fun, or with Sweeps Coins, which redeem for real prizes at one SC to one US dollar. No purchase is ever required to get Sweeps Coins. You collect them through the daily login and mail-in entry.

Craps is hard to find at a social casino. Most sweepstakes platforms skip it, because a full layout means forty-odd bet positions and a multi-roll state to manage, and some list dice-themed slots under the craps heading instead. Acebet runs the real thing, provably fair, with every standard spot on the felt and the Odds bet paying true odds. Every win is capped at the SC 200,000 Max Win.

Craps odds, RTP, and house edge

The Pass Line returns 98.6%, a house edge of 1.41%. Don't Pass returns 98.64%, an edge of 1.36%. Those are the standard numbers for craps, and Acebet's posted multipliers match them exactly.

Craps does not have one RTP. It has a different one for every spot on the layout, running from 100% on the Odds bet down to 83.33% on Seven. Line bets backed with odds are among the best value in the whole Acebet Originals lineup. The center-table propositions are among the worst. The dice behave the same either way, so bet selection decides what the game costs you.

Frequently asked questions

What is craps?

Craps is a dice game where you bet on the outcome of two six-sided dice. The round opens with a come-out roll. A 7 or 11 wins for the Pass Line, a 2, 3, or 12 loses, and any other total becomes the point. The dice then keep rolling until the point repeats, which wins, or a 7 lands first, which loses.

How does social casino craps work at Acebet?

You set a play amount, click the layout to place chips on the spots you want, then press Play Game to roll. Bets resolve against the dice. Some settle on a single roll and others stay live through the point phase. The puck above the numbers flips from OFF to ON to show which number is the point.

What is the RTP of Acebet Original Craps?

The Pass Line runs at 98.6% RTP, a 1.41% house edge. Every other bet has its own return based on its posted payout, from the Odds bet at 100% RTP down to Seven at 83.33%. Turn on tooltips to see the multiplier on any spot before you bet it.

What is the best bet in craps?

The Odds bet, by a wide margin. It is the only bet in the casino with a 0% house edge, because it pays true mathematical odds. It only becomes available after a point is established, and it goes behind your Pass Line or Don't Pass chip. After that, Don't Pass at 1.36% and Pass Line at 1.41% are the best baseline bets, and Place 6 or Place 8 at 1.52% is the best standalone number bet.

What is the worst bet in craps?

Seven, at a 16.67% house edge. It pays x5.0, or 4 to 1, on an outcome whose true odds are 5 to 1. The proposition bets in the middle of the table are all poor value, running from 9.09% on the hardways up to that 16.67%.

Does taking odds lower the house edge?

It lowers the edge across your total stake, not on the Pass Line chip itself. The house still expects 1.41% of your line bet. The odds portion is a zero-edge bet, so adding it puts money on the table that the house takes nothing from, which pulls the blended edge on everything you have out there down toward zero. A Pass Line with matching odds blends to roughly 0.85%.

Is Acebet Original Craps provably fair?

Yes. Every roll uses a SHA-256 hashed server seed, a client seed you control, and a nonce that increments each round. The server seed hash is committed before the dice are thrown and the full seed is revealed after, so you can verify the roll against the seeds on the Fairness page.

What is the Press Bets toggle?

Press Bets puts your winnings back onto your active spots between rolls instead of paying them out to your balance. It grows your position on a number without you clicking it again. It also puts more SC at risk, so the round swings harder in both directions. It does not change the odds on any spot, because the dice have no memory of the last roll.

Does Craps have an auto-play mode?

No. Acebet Original Craps is manual only. Every roll is a decision you make, which is deliberate for a game where bets change between rolls.

Can I play craps free at a social casino?

Yes. You can play Acebet craps free-to-play with Gold Coins right in your browser, with nothing to download. Switch to Sweeps Coins whenever you want a run at real prizes.

Does Acebet.cc offer a no-deposit bonus for Craps?

Yes. Acebet.cc's sweepstakes casino signup bonus is one of two welcome package options for new players, both available on Craps. New players can claim SC 1.00 in free Sweeps Coins with no deposit required, using code ACEBET, paired with a 100% deposit match up to SC 1,000.00. Alternatively, new players can claim 20 free spins paired with a 100% deposit match up to SC 1,000.00. The choice between the two is made at signup.

What is a good strategy for craps?

No system beats the dice, and no betting pattern changes the edge on a bet. Bet selection is the whole strategy, and in craps it matters more than in any other table game. Stick to the line bets, take odds behind them whenever a point is on, and use Place 6 and Place 8 if you want another number working. Leave the center-table props alone. The gap between the best and worst bet on a craps table is wider than on any other game in the casino, which is why bet selection is worth more here than anywhere else.

Acebet Craps Demonstration

1

Set your play amount

Enter your SC amount or use the 1/2, x2, and Max shortcuts. This sets the value of one chip, and nothing is on the felt yet.

2

Place your bets

Click the layout to drop chips. Here SC 10 goes on the Pass Line. Table Amount tracks what is riding on the felt and Round Amount tracks what you have staked this round.

3

Throw the come-out roll

Press Play Game. The dice land and the Previous Roll panel logs the total. A 7 or 11 pays the Pass Line right here, a 2, 3, or 12 loses it, and anything else sets the point.

4

The point is set

The come-out roll landed on a number, so the puck flips from OFF to ON above it. The Pass Line now needs that same number again before a 7 shows up.

5

Bet the rest of the table

A live point does not lock you out of anything. Chips go onto the Place numbers while the point runs, and each one carries its own payout. Place 8 pays x2.17.

6

Win on the other bets

Those number bets pay on their own, without waiting for the point. Here a Place bet lands while 9 is still the point, returning 1.35x on the SC 20 riding on the table.

7

The round ends: hit the point, or seven out

Roll the point again and the Pass Line pays x2.0 and the puck drops to OFF. Roll a 7 first and the round ends at 0.00x, with the Pass Line and every number bet coming down together.
