How to Play Craps
Craps is a dice game played in two phases: the Come Out roll and the Point phase.
Come Out Roll: The game starts here. Place a Pass Line bet and roll the dice.
- Roll a 7 or 11 — you win (natural)
- Roll a 2, 3, or 12 — you lose (craps)
- Roll a 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10 — that number becomes the Point
Point Phase: Once a point is set, you keep rolling until you either hit the point again (win) or roll a 7 (seven-out, lose).
Don't Pass is the opposite — you're betting against the shooter. You win on 2 or 3 on the come out, lose on 7 or 11, and push on 12. During the point phase, you win if a 7 comes before the point.
Understanding the Bets
Pass Line (1:1) — The fundamental craps bet. Low house edge of 1.41%.
Don't Pass (1:1) — Opposite of Pass. Slightly lower edge at 1.36%. Bar 12 means a 12 on come out is a push.
Pass/Don't Pass Odds — After a point is set, you can back your bet with true odds — zero house edge. The best bet in the casino.
Come / Don't Come — Same as Pass/Don't Pass but placed during the point phase. Acts as a mini-game within the game.
Place Bets (6, 8 at 7:6 / 5, 9 at 7:5 / 4, 10 at 9:5) — Bet that a specific number hits before a 7. Active during the point phase.
Field (1:1, 2x on 2, 3x on 12) — One-roll bet on 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11, or 12.
Any 7 (4:1) — One-roll bet on 7. High house edge (16.67%).
Any Craps (7:1) — One-roll bet on 2, 3, or 12.
Hardways (9:1 for 6/8, 7:1 for 4/10) — Bet that doubles (3+3, 4+4) hit before a 7 or the easy way.

What Is This For?
CRAPS:// is a strategy testing simulator. It's built for players who want to understand the math, test betting systems, and see how different approaches perform over hundreds or thousands of rolls — without risking real money.
The detailed analytics (luck meter, chi-squared distribution, SRR, volatility, drawdown tracking) give you a data-driven view of what's happening at the table. Use auto-play with different strategies to compare long-run outcomes.
It's also just a fun way to play craps with realistic audio and a good-looking table.
Who Made This
Built by Ryan Hall as a fun side project to test out different craps strategies and see how they hold up over time. What started as a quick experiment turned into a full simulator with analytics, sound design, and auto-play.
