Craps at Hard Rock Atlantic City
How to Play
This fast-paced game is played by placing various bets on a Craps table and throwing two dice to the opposite end of the table. The game begins with a come-out roll. The dice are offered to the player in a clockwise direction around the table. To shoot the dice, a player must bet either the Pass Line or the Don’t Pass Line. The shooter selects a pair of dice and tosses them past the stickperson dealer to the other end of the game, where they need to bounce off the craps table wall. Once a point is established, players bet that the point will or will not roll again before a 7, as well as other betting options.
Wagers
- Pass Line: Pass Line Bets can be made only before the first roll of the dice known as the “Come Out Roll.” Players win on a natural 7 or 11 and lose on craps 2, 3 or 12 on the Come Out Roll. Any other number rolled becomes the point. To win, the shooter must roll their point again before rolling a 7. A Pass Line Bet cannot be placed, reduced or removed once the Point has been established until it wins or loses. This bet pays even money.
- Don't Pass Line: Don’t Pass Line Bets are the opposite of the Pass Line Bets. Don’t Pass Bets can only be made before the Come Out Roll. Don’t Pass Bets lose on a natural 7 or 11 on the Come Out Roll, win on craps 2 and 3 but should the shooter roll a 12, the bet does not win or lose, it is a “Push.” Any other number rolled becomes the point and the player shall win if the shooter rolls a 7 before rolling their point. Don’t Pass Bets may be removed or reduced at any time during the hand; however, the bet may not be increased or replaced once the point has been established. This bet pays even money
