THE BINGO TABLE
Click in this area to make or pick up a Pass Line Bet/Payoff. You may also click here to take odds on a Pass Line Bet. Note: There is no need to click on your Bankroll (Chips) prior to taking odds. The Pass Line Bet is the most popular bet area on the Craps table. A Pass Line Bet can only be made on the come out roll (i.e. before a point is established). If a 7 or 11 is rolled (a "natural"), it's an immediate winner. If a 2, 3 or 12 is rolled, it's an immediate loser. Any other number which is rolled becomes your Pass Line Point. This number must repeat before a 7 is rolled to win. Odds on the PASS LINE (OR COME): Odds or "free-odds" betting is the best way to lower the house advantage in the game of Craps. You take odds after a point is established by clicking on your Pass or Come Bet. The applet knows you want full odds (depending on the odds option you selected) and will subtract the appropriate amount from your bankroll and put it just below your Pass Line Bet.
The free-odds paid on the point numbers are: Without free odds the house has approximately 1.4% advantage on all Pass Line or Come Bets. With double odds this advantage is reduced to 0.6%. Making this the best bet on the table (except for Don't Pass/Come Bets which when double odds are "laid" here the house advantage is also 0.6%). The reason the house advantage drops when taking double odds is because the house has no advantage on these bets they are paid at the correct odds as shown above. For example, say you have $10 on the Pass Line and the 4 becomes the "point". You click on your $10 wager and see that the applet has placed $20 just under it (hence the meaning of "double" odds - you take twice your original bet as odds). If the 4 is repeated before a 7 is rolled, you win $10 for your original Pass Line Bet at even-money and $40 for your odds bet at 2 to 1. Since the 6 and 8 pay odds bets at 6 to 5, the applet will increase your odds bets on these numbers to the next 5 unit amount (when the wager amount is more than $1). This insures you will be paid at the correct odds. Any payoffs on the Pass Line will appear just to the right of your bet. You may pick them up by clicking here again. If you leave your winnings and/or bet on the PASS LINE, the applet assumes you want to "Press" or let it ride. The applet will combine all this money into a single PASS LINE Bet. Click in this box to make or pick up a Don't Pass Bet/Payoff. You may also click here to lay odds on a Don't Pass Bet. Note: There is no need to click on your Bankroll (Chips) prior to laying odds. The Don't Pass Bet is one of the least bet areas unless you are a "wrong" bettor. The vast majority of Craps players will bet with the dice rather than against the dice. The Don't Pass is basically the opposite of the Pass Line. You are not betting with the house but against the dice. Remember the house has an advantage on every bet. A Don't Pass Bet can only be made on the come out roll (i.e. before a point is established). If a 7 or 11 is rolled (a "natural", it's an immediate loser. If a 2 or 3 is rolled, it's an immediate winner. If a 12 is rolled it is a standoff and you neither lose nor win (hence, the "Bar" in the name of this area). Any other number which is rolled becomes your Don't Pass Point. If this number repeats before a 7 is rolled you lose. If a 7 is rolled prior to this number you win. Odds on the DON'T PASS (OR DON'T COME): Odds or "free-odds" betting is the best way to lower the house advantage in the game of Craps. You "lay" odds after a point is established by clicking on your Don't Pass or Don't Come Bet. The applet knows you want full odds and will subtract the appropriate amount from your bankroll and put it just below your Don't Pass bet.
The free-odds paid on the point numbers are: Without free odds the house has approximately 1.4% advantage on all Don't Pass or Don't Come Bets. With double odds this advantage is reduced to 0.6%. Making this the best bet on the table (except for Pass/Come Bets which when double odds are "taken" here the house advantage is also 0.6%). The reason the house advantage drops when laying double odds is because the house has no advantage on these bets they are paid at the correct odds as shown above. For example, say you have $10 on the Don't Pass and the 4 becomes the "point". You click on your $10 wager and see that the applet has laid $40 just under it (hence the meaning of "double" odds - you lay twice your potential winnings of $20 as odds). If the 7 is rolled before the 4 is repeated, you win $10 for your original Don't Pass Bet at even-money and $20 for your odds bet at 1 to 2. Since the 6 and 8 pay odds bets at 6 to 5, the applet will increase your odds bets on these numbers to the next 6 unit amount (when the wager amount is more than $1). This insures you will be paid at the correct odds. Any payoffs on the Don't Pass will appear just to the right of your bet. You may pick them up by clicking here again. If you leave your winnings and/or bet on the Don't Pass , the applet assumes you want to "Press" or let it ride. The applet will combine all this money into a single Don't Pass Bet. Click in this box to make or pick up a Come Bet/Payoff. You can also click here to pick up any Place Bet winnings (see PLACE AREAS for more information). A Come Bet is a bet made after a point is established. It works the same way as the Pass Line Bet. If a 7 or 11 is rolled, it's an immediate winner. If a 2, 3 or 12 is rolled, it's an immediate loser. Any other number which is rolled becomes your Come Bet Number. This number must repeat before a 7 is rolled to win. The advantage of Come Bets over Place Bets is that you can continue to make bets with odds lowering the house advantage. Once a Come Bet Number is established your bet will appear in the appropriate numbered area above. To take odds you would click in the numbered area. Note: There is no need to click on your Bankroll (Chips) prior to taking odds. Any returned winning bets, payoffs and odds will be displayed in the COME area. You would click here to pick them up. If you leave your winnings and/or bet in the COME box, the applet assumes you want to "Press" or let it ride. The applet will combine all this money into a single Come Bet. See Odds on the PASS LINE for more information on odds and how they work on Come Bets. NOTE: Odds on Come Bets are "off" (or not working on the Come Out Roll) Click in this box to make or pick up a Don't Come Bet/Payoff. You may also click here to pick up any Lay Bet winnings (see LAY AREAS for more information). A Don't Come Bet is a bet made after a point is established. It works the same way as the Don't Pass Bet. If a 7 or 11 is rolled, it's an immediate loser. If a 2 or 3 is rolled, it's an immediate winner. If a 12 is rolled it is a standoff and you neither lose nor win (hence, the "Bar" in the name of this area). Any other number which is rolled becomes your Don't Come Bet Number. If this number repeats before a 7 is rolled you lose. If a 7 is rolled prior to this number you win. The advantage of Don't Come Bets over Lay Bets is that you can continue to make bets with double odds lowering the house advantage to 0.6%. Once a Don't Come Bet Number is established your bet will appear in the box above the appropriate numbered area. To lay odds you would click in that box. Note: There is no need to click on your Bankroll (Chips) prior laying odds. Any winning bets, payoffs and odds will be displayed in the Don't Come area. You would click here to pick them up. See Odds on the DON'T PASS for more information on odds and how they work. Click in this box to make or pick up a Field Bet/Payoff. The field bet is a one roll bet and can be made at any time (regardless of whether a point is established or not). You are betting that one of the numbers listed in this area will be rolled next. If it is rolled you win. If any other number not listed in this box is rolled you lose. The 2 and 12 pay double-money. Any winnings will appear next to your bet and you may pick up your bet and/or your winnings by clicking here again. If you roll without picking up any winnings in the box, the applet assumes you want to "Press" and will combine these amounts into one Field bet. There are 16 ways to make the numbers listed plus 2 more when considering the double-money payoffs for the 2 and 12 for a total of 18. However, there are 20 ways to make the missing numbers 5, 6, 7 and 8. This gives the house a 5.55% advantage, making it not a wise bet. Click in these areas to make or pick up a Big 6 and/or Big 8 Bet or Payoff. A Big 6 or Big 8 bet can be made at any time and are always working (not off on the come out). You are betting that a 6 (or an 8 depending on area chosen), will be rolled before a 7. Any other number has no effect on this bet. If a 7 is rolled, you lose your bet. If the 6 (if bet on Big 6) or an 8 (if bet on Big 8) is rolled before a 7, you win at even-money (1 to 1). Since the correct odds is 6 to 5, the house has a 9.09% advantage on the Big 6 and/or the Big 8 Bets. If you like the 6 and/or the 8, you would be better off making a Place Bet on them reducing the house odds to 1.52%. See PLACE AREAS for more information on Place Bets. Click here when you are ready to roll the dice. The results of the roll will be displayed via dice to the left of this button. Whenever a point is not yet established, "COME OUT ROLL" will be displayed under the dice. Just as in Las Vegas, you MUST make a Line Bet (either PASS LINE or DON'T PASS before you can roll the dice. Also, if you clicked on your Bankroll (Chips) (i.e. picked up a chip) without clicking on a bet area, you cannot roll the dice until you return your chip to the bankroll or make a bet with it. Certain bets, payoffs or odds must also be picked up before rolling. If you cannot roll, a message will be displayed as to the reason. NOTE: The outcome of the dice roll is completely random. After test rolling the dice 1,000,000 times it was found that the proper combinations and odds (see Tables of Odds) held true.
