Boss Media offers great Craps, including a multi-player version
that allows you to play with up to 3 of your friends at a private
table, a great chat feature, varied perspectives from each seat at
the table, and you can just sit and watch without playing if you
would like. This software also provides incredible graphics, music,
performance and sound effects. You can find tables with betting
limits that range from $1 to $100, $5 to $500 and $25 to $1,000.
The usual opening bet in Craps, which is made just before the
“come out” roll, is called a “pass line bet”. This bet will win if
the come out roll is 7 or 11, but it will lose if that roll is a 2,
3 or 12. If “Point” (4, 5, 6, 8 ,9 or 10) is rolled with the come
out roll, the puck that is labeled “ON” is placed on that number on
the table and the shooter continues to roll until they roll point
again or 7 to end the round. If point comes up first, pass line bets
win, if the shooter rolls a 7 first, the pass line bets lose. The
round does not end, and therefore pass line bets are not resolved,
until the shooter rolls point or 7 after the come out roll.
Unresolved pass line bets can not be removed from the table, so any
players betting on the pass line have to wait until the round is
over to learn the outcome of their bet.
To become the shooter in Craps when playing with other players,
there is one requirement that you must meet. You have to either
place a pass line bet or a don’t pass line bet. You do have the
option to pass if you would not like to be the shooter. If you are
playing by yourself, you can still pass and the game will roll for
you. If you don’t shoot before the timer runs out the dice are
passed to either the next shooter or to the house. You are in
control of the dice (once you are the shooter) until you “seven
out”.
