Craps
Rule Authority:
InterCasino Craps is
played and programmed according to Atlantic City Gaming rules.
Authority: New Jersey Casino Control Commission.
Rule Exception: None.
Premise:
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.
How to Play:
Betting: Your
chips are stacked by denomination ($1, $5,
$25, $100, $500) at the bottom right hand corner of the screen above
the User label. 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
Rolling: If
you prefer to throw the dice yourself
please click on the checkbox just below the Roll button. 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. You may close this window by clicking
on the 'x' in the top-left corner of the window. Anytime you win or
lose money, a message will be displayed in a rectangular window at the
top of the game screen.
Types of bets & their
payoffs:
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.
