Hard Bets

When the golden palace craps shooter rolls and both dice turn up with the same number, it’s called a hard way. In the case of hard way bets, the total can be rolled by other combinations of the dice. For example, a hard way eight means two fours were rolled on the dice for a total of eight. A five and a three add up to eight but cause the hard way bet to be lost. Rolls of 2 and 12 are not considered hard ways because either total can only be rolled by merely one combination of the dice. A hard way bet remains in play until the number bet on occurs one way or the other.

Hard 4 When the player bets a hard 4, he or she is hoping for a 2 to come up on both dice before any other 4 combination or a 7 turns up. If the shooter rolls a 1 and 3, or a 7, the bet is lost. The payout for a hard 4 is 7:1.

Hard 10 When the player bets a hard 10, he or she is hoping for a 5 to come up on both dice before any other 10 combination or a 7 turns up. If the shooter rolls a 6 and 4, the bet is lost. The payout for a hard 10 is 7:1.

Hard 6 When the player bets a hard 6, he or she is hoping for a 3 to come up on both dice before any other 6 combination or a 7 turns up. If the shooter rolls a 1 and 5, 2 and 4, or a 7, the bet is lost. The payout for a hard 6 is 9:1.

Hard 8 When the player bets a hard 8, he or she is hoping for a 4 to come up on both dice before any other 8 combination or a 7 turns up. If the shooter rolls a 2 and 6, 3 and 5, or a 7, the bet is lost. The payout for a hard 8 is 9:1.

Hard way betting is a great way to diversify your betting scheme in the game of casino craps.

Single Roll Craps Bets

Like the name suggests, single roll craps bets in online gambling are bets which are either paid or lost in the course of one roll. These one-time bets vary in pay, due to the differing odds.

Field Bet – The field bet is a single roll bet that on the next roll, one of the seven field numbers will occur, which are 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11, or 12. The field bet loses if a 5, 6, 7, or 8 is rolled. If the roll is a 2 or 12, the field bet pays out 2:1 on the money bet. All other winning rolls pay even money. The field bet is made by placing an amount of money in the area marked “field” between the don’t pass bar and the come area.

Any Seven – The any seven is a one-roll bet that the shooter will roll a 7 on the very next roll. If the next roll is a 7, the player wins 4:1 on their bet. Any other number rolled results in the any seven bet being lost.

Any Craps – Any craps is a one-roll bet that the shooter will roll craps, which is a 2, 3, or 12 on the next roll. If the next roll is craps, the player wins 7:1 on their bet. If any other number is rolled, the bet is lost.

Horn Bets

Horn bets are single roll bets that call for a 2, 3, 11, or 12 to be rolled on the next roll. A single roll horn bet can be placed on one or a combination of the 4 horn numbers.

Horn Two – This is a single roll bet that the shooter will roll a 2 on the next roll. Should the next roll be a 2, the player wins 30:1 on their bet. Any other number rolled results in a loss.

Horn Three – This is a one-roll bet that the shooter will roll a 3 on their next roll. In the event the next roll is in fact a 3, the player wins 15:1 on their money. If any other number is rolled, the bet is lost.

Horn Eleven – The horn bet of “yo eleven” is a single roll bet that the next number shot will be an eleven. If the next roll is an 11, the player wins a 15:1 on his or her bet, while losing if any other number occurs.

Horn Twelve – Betting the horn twelve is a single roll bet that relies on the shooter to throw a twelve on the next roll. Should a twelve occur, the player is paid out 30:1 on this horn bet, while losing if a number other than twelve occurs.

By understanding how the single bets work in casino craps, you are well on your way to mastering the game of craps.
