Casino Craps Trivia

1. The most common bet on a craps table is the "Pass Line" bet. If a point is already established and you want to play a "Pass Line" bet, it is not advisable to do so. Instead you can put your chips in the area for the identical bet, marked as what?

From Quiz Various Bets in Casino Craps

Answer: Come

The "Come Bet" is exactly the same as the "Pass Line". It wins when a 7 or 11 is rolled, and loses when a 2,3,or 12 is rolled, and plays out the point in other cases. You can take odds on a "Come Bet" exactly as you would on a Pass bet. Come bets are for players who enjoy the action of "place bets" without the higher house edge.

Answer: Betting on rolls of the dice

The complexity of betting is what confuses most people.

From Quiz Beginner's Craps

Answer: 4

A normal crew working at the table consists of a Stickman (uses a hooked stick to retrieve the thrown dice and push them to the player who is throwing the dice), a Boxman (seated behind the table, counts out a new player's money and pushes it through a slot in the table), and two Dealers standing at both ends of the table (place bets in correct position and pay off players who win). A fifth person is on break. The two Dealers, the Stickman, and the person on break rotate positions, usually every 20 minutes.

Answer: Four

The dealer in the middle (the croupier) calls the dice and handles them with a stick. Dealers at opposite ends of the table handle betting and payouts. The "box man" stands/sits across from the croupier, oversees all betting, and handles the bulk of the house's money.

Answer: 2

Tossing the dice passes around to all the players at the table in a clockwise rotation. When it's your turn to be the "shooter" (person throwing the dice), the Stickman will push several dice (usually five) to you. Pick up any two of them. Your objective should be to bounce them off the far table wall.

Answer: 7

Seven is the most loved and feared number on a craps table. There are more statistical possibilites of seven being rolled than any other number.

Answer: Any Craps

The only numbers that lose a "Pass Line" bet on a come-out roll are 2,3,or 12, which are referred to as craps. Betting "Any Craps" pays 7-1 and will therefore make up for the losses on the "Pass Line". There are various other forms of hedging bets which players mistakenly believe will beat the casino in the long run, but these actually just increase the house's income by combining the house edge of both bets.

From Quiz Beginner's Craps

Answer: 1.4%

The house edge for the pass line bet is 1.4%, which makes it one of the best bets in the casino. A "free odds" bet can reduce this house edge even further, but a larger bankroll to start with is recommended (to weather losing streaks, since more of your money is at risk doing this).

From Quiz Various Bets in Casino Craps

Answer: Four

"Hard Way" bets can only be even numbered points. Therefore, they are 4,6,8, and 10. The 2 and the 12 have no "easy way" equivalents and therefore are not included. The 4 and the 10 pay 7-1 or 8-1 (depending on the casino) when the bet is won, while the 6 and the 8 pay 9-1 or 10-1. This is because there are 4 easy ways to roll a 6 or 8, and only 2 to roll a 4 or 10.

Answer: Don't Pass

The "Don't Pass" bet and its faithful friend "Don't Come" bet against the shooter; win when craps are rolled on the come out and lose with a 7 or 11. However, they push (tie) when a 12 is rolled (in some casinos, this is a 2). This push keeps the edge in the house's favour no matter which side you bet. The "Don't Pass" has a slightly lower house edge than the "Pass Line", but is played less frequently due to the craps "taboo" of being against the table.

From Quiz Beginner's Craps

Answer: 11

If the shooter rolls an 11 ("yo") or a 7 while the black side of the marker puck is up, your pass line bet wins (2 to 1 times). If the white side of the marker puck is up, your pass line bet is not affected by a yo, (but loses if a 7 is thrown).

From Quiz Beginner's Craps

Answer: any of these numbers

If the shooter rolls any of the craps numbers while the black side of the marker puck is up, you lose your pass line bet. If the white side of the marker puck is up, your pass line bet is not affected.

If you want to learn more about craps these two paperbacks for beginners are very helpful: "The Basics of Winning Craps" by J. Edward Allen and "Craps - Playing to Win" by Tony Korfman (search for both of these on the Internet). Another source is your local public library.

Answer: 6

The come numbers are: 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10. Place a bet on the word "come". Upon the next roll, any come number thrown will become your "come-point". All come bets remain on the table until you win or until 7 is rolled.

Answer: 7

"Sevens out!" is not a pretty phrase (for some players). The dice are then passed to the next shooter (to the left of the previous shooter) and the process begins again.
