You'll
find a number of craps variations
with differing rules, odds and settings.
Check the thumbnail descriptions
below. Before playing any of these
variations, be sure that you fully
understand the rules.
Crapless Craps
You gotta love the name! It's also
known as "Bastard Craps."
This simplified form of craps can
be found in only one casino in Las
Vegas, the Stratosphere. It's called
Crapless craps, because you cannot
lose on the come out roll. If you
throw a standard craps (2, 3 or 12),
instead of losing, that number becomes
the point. Natural 11s on the come
out also become the point number.
Only the natural 7 wins on the come
out roll. The only way for the shooter
to lose is to throw a 7 before the
point. Don't Pass and Don't Come areas
are conspicuously absent from the
table layout. The price for all this
simplification is that the house edge
is approximately four times greater
than in the crappy version of craps!
Simplified Craps
True to its name, in Simplified
craps, the shooter wins when throwing
a 2, 3, 4, 10, 11 or 12 and loses
when throwing a 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9. It
doesn't get any simpler than this.
The overall house advantage is substantially
greater than the house advantage in
Bank craps: 2.8%.
