To the uninitiated, the craps table is easily the most intimidating spot on the casino floor.
Despite its complex appearance, the fundamental rules of craps are surprisingly straightforward.
The Most Important Craps Bet
The Pass Line bet is the foundation upon which the entire game of craps is built.
If the shooter rolls a 7 or 11 on the come-out roll, your Pass Line bet wins immediately.

Playing After the Come-Out Roll
When a Point is established, the dealer places a plastic puck on that specific number.
The shooter must now roll that exact same Point number again before rolling a 7.
The Best Bet in the Casino
Once a Point is established, you can make an additional wager called "Taking Odds."
Always maximize your Odds bet up to the table limit to reduce the overall house edge.
