Just as the come wager resembles the pass line bet, the don't come wager resembles the don't pass line wager. At any point in a game can a don't come wager be made by placing chips on the Don't Come Bar. The next dice roll immediately thereafter serves as the come-out roll for that particular wager. If the come-out roll comes up a 7 or 11, the bet loses. If it comes up a 3, the bet wins. All other numbers rolled are considered point numbers, which if rolled again before rolling a 7 or 11, will cause the don't come wager to lose. (If the point number is established, the dealer will move the wager to the corresponding box number on the craps table) Rolling a 7 or 11 before the point number is hit again, will produce a winning don't come bet.

The shooter, or anyone wishing to bet that the shooter will win, places his bet "on the line" (in the area marked "Does Pass," "Line," or "Win" on various layouts) Anyone betting against the shooter places his bet in the area marked "Don't Pass." Anyone wishing to bet on a special contingency, such as that craps (2, 3, or 12) will or will not be thrown on the next roll, places his bet in the appropriate space on the layout; such bets are called proposition bets. The house maintains a mathematical advantage on all bets of about 1.4 percent, higher on certain layouts and special bets.

Craps is one of the more intimidating games at the casino for a beginner as there are lots of different betting options available to the player and the game is quite fast paced there is however no need to be intimidated as once you know the rules the game of craps can offer some of the best odds in the casino. The game of craps is played with two ordinary dice that are thrown the length of the table and must bounce off the far wall. The wins and losses depend upon the value of the dice when they land. Each player is given a turn to throw the dice or become the shooter with the dice going clock-wise around the table. The shooter makes their first roll which is called a come out roll the shooter then keeps throwing the dice until he fails to make a winning throw known as 'not making point' the dice are then passed on to the new shooter and a new game begins.
