Different Types of Craps

Like most classic gambling games, the game of craps has changed over the years, and accordingly, in addition to its traditional version, there are other varieties, some of which we will discuss in this article.

Bank Craps is a variant of the original game, also known as Las Vegas Craps. It is mostly played in casinos in Nevada, as well as online around the world. A special table is used with different arrangement of sectors for it and all bets must be made against the croupier. The roll of the dice is performed on a cord or wire that is stretched over the game table. Here, the lowest advantage for the casino is when betting on the "Pass" line and/or the "Don't Pass" line. It is about 1.4%.

Crapless craps, also called bastard craps, is a simplified version of the original craps game and is mostly played online. The biggest difference with the original is that the player (rolling the dice) is the most damaged, because the advantage for the casino here is as much as 5.38%. Another difference is that when rolling 2 and 12, the profit is 11:2, and the casino has a lead of 7.143%, while when rolling 3 and 11, the profit is 11:4 and the advantage of the casino is 6.25%.

Die Rich Craps, also known as Fading Craps or Money Craps, is a relatively new version of the game and is played with just one die. This option usually involves serious players because huge amounts of money are at stake and in most cases the games are private because it is considered illegal online and also offline. Here, bets are placed against the casino, but it retains a percentage of the money wagered in each draw (usually between 5 and 7%). The table for this type of craps always has a profit line, a loss line and boxes with the numbers 4,5,6,8,9 and 10.

High Point Craps is another version of the original game. An initial roll of 2 or 3 is ignored and the player must roll again. A roll of 11 or 12 wins automatically. If another dice is rolled, the player must roll again, but this time he must roll a higher number, otherwise he loses. In this variant of the game, the advantage for the casino is 2.35%.

New York Craps is the version of the game that is played mostly on the east coast of the United States. The history of this variant claims that it originated and played in casinos in Yugoslavia, Great Britain and the Bahamas. Here the advantage of the casino is greater even than Las Vegas craps. The sectors on the table are also different. The main difference with the original game is that the come bet and the don’t come bet is not allowed. The advantage for the casino at New York craps is 5%.

Simple craps is another variant of the game. The player will win if throwing 2,3,4,10,11 or 12 and respectively by rolling 5,6,7,8 or 9 the player loses. The casino advantage here is 2.8%.
