Understanding Craps Payouts
Craps is one of the most exciting and dynamic casino games, known for its fast pace and wide array of betting options. Understanding the payouts for each bet is crucial for any player, whether you're a seasoned veteran or new to the table. This Craps Payouts Calculator helps you quickly determine the potential winnings for some of the most common bets.
How Craps Payouts Work
Craps payouts are typically expressed as a ratio (e.g., 1:1, 7:6, 30:1). This ratio indicates how much you win for every unit you bet. For example, a 1:1 payout means you win $1 for every $1 wagered, in addition to getting your original wager back. A 7:1 payout means you win $7 for every $1 wagered.
Common Craps Bets and Their Payouts Explained:
Pass Line / Come Bet (1:1)
These are fundamental bets in craps. You win if the shooter rolls a 7 or 11 on the come-out roll, or if the point is established and then rolled again before a 7. The payout is even money, meaning you win an amount equal to your wager.
- Example: You bet $20 on the Pass Line. If you win, you get your $20 wager back plus $20 in winnings, for a total of $40.
Don't Pass / Don't Come Bet (1:1)
These are the opposite of Pass Line/Come bets. You win if the shooter rolls a 2 or 3 on the come-out roll, or if a 7 is rolled before the established point. A 12 on the come-out roll is usually a push (tie). Payout is also even money.
- Example: You bet $15 on the Don't Pass Line. If you win, you get your $15 wager back plus $15 in winnings, for a total of $30.
Place Bets (4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10)
Place bets are made after a point has been established. You are betting that a specific number (4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10) will be rolled before a 7. The payouts vary depending on the number:
- Place 4 or 10: Pays 9:5.
- Example: You place $10 on the 4. If a 4 is rolled before a 7, you win $18 (9/5 * $10).
- Place 5 or 9: Pays 7:5.
- Example: You place $10 on the 5. If a 5 is rolled before a 7, you win $14 (7/5 * $10).
- Place 6 or 8: Pays 7:6. These bets are often made in multiples of $6 to avoid fractions.
- Example: You place $12 on the 6. If a 6 is rolled before a 7, you win $14 (7/6 * $12).
Hardway Bets (Hard 4, 6, 8, 10)
A "Hardway" means rolling a pair (e.g., two 2s for a Hard 4, two 3s for a Hard 6). You win if the specific hardway is rolled before a 7 and before the "easy way" (e.g., 1+3 or 2+2 for a 4). These are one-roll bets that stay up until they hit or a 7/easy way is rolled.
- Hard 4 or 10: Pays 7:1.
- Example: You bet $5 on Hard 4. If two 2s are rolled, you win $35 (7 * $5).
- Hard 6 or 8: Pays 9:1.
- Example: You bet $5 on Hard 8. If two 4s are rolled, you win $45 (9 * $5).
Any Craps (2, 3, or 12) (7:1)
This is a one-roll bet that wins if the next roll is a 2, 3, or 12. It pays 7:1.
- Example: You bet $5 on Any Craps. If the next roll is a 2, 3, or 12, you win $35 (7 * $5).
Any Seven (4:1)
This is a one-roll bet that wins if the next roll is a 7. It pays 4:1.
- Example: You bet $10 on Any Seven. If the next roll is a 7, you win $40 (4 * $10).
Aces (2) (30:1)
A one-roll bet that wins if the next roll is a 2 (snake eyes). It pays 30:1.
- Example: You bet $1 on Aces. If the next roll is a 2, you win $30 (30 * $1).
Boxcars (12) (30:1)
A one-roll bet that wins if the next roll is a 12 (boxcars). It pays 30:1.
- Example: You bet $1 on Boxcars. If the next roll is a 12, you win $30 (30 * $1).
Eleven (11) (15:1)
A one-roll bet that wins if the next roll is an 11. It pays 15:1.
- Example: You bet $2 on Eleven. If the next roll is an 11, you win $30 (15 * $2).
Field Bet (Variable Payouts)
The Field Bet is a one-roll bet. You win if a 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11, or 12 is rolled. You lose if a 5, 6, 7, or 8 is rolled. The payouts vary:
- Standard Payout (1:1): For rolls of 3, 4, 9, 10, or 11.
- Double Payout (2:1): For rolls of 2 or 12. (Some casinos may offer 3:1 for 12, but 2:1 is common for both).
- Example: You bet $10 on the Field.
- If a 3, 4, 9, 10, or 11 is rolled, you win $10.
- If a 2 or 12 is rolled, you win $20.
Important Considerations:
- House Edge: Every bet in craps has a house edge, which is the casino's mathematical advantage. Understanding payouts helps you choose bets with a lower house edge, such as Pass Line/Don't Pass with Odds.
- Odds Bets: This calculator focuses on single-roll or fixed-payout bets. "Odds bets" (taken behind Pass/Come or Don't Pass/Don't Come bets) have no house edge and offer true odds payouts, but they must be placed in conjunction with a primary bet. Their payouts vary based on the point number (e.g., 2:1 for 4/10, 3:2 for 5/9, 6:5 for 6/8).
- Table Minimums: Always be aware of the table's minimum and maximum bet limits.
