HardwaysThese are bets that the shooter will roll the indicated number (4, 6, 8 or 10) as a matched pair (doubles, i.e. the hard way) before either a 7 or the indicated number the easy way (i.e. not as a double. For example: a Six as 5+1or 4+2 rather than as a 3+3). Hardway bets are always active - even during the Come Out roll. They may be placed, modified or removed at any time before any roll. Hardway bets are resolved according to the following table:
| Bet | Win On | Lose On | Win Pays | No Action On |
4![]() |
Hard 4 | 7 or Easy 4 | 8 for 1 (7:1) | 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 |
6![]() |
Hard 6 | 7 or Easy 6 | 10 for 1 (9:1) | 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 |
8![]() |
Hard 8 | 7 or Easy 8 | 10 for 1 (9:1) | 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 11, 12 |
10![]() |
Hard 10 | 7 or Easy 10 | 8 for 1 (7:1) | 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 11, 12 |

One Roll Bets — This is a group of high payout bets that are valid for one roll only, thus they do not persist beyond the next roll. They may be placed, modified or removed before any roll.
Any Craps — Bets that one of the craps numbers (2, 3 or 12) will hit on the next roll (can be any roll, doesn't need to be a Come Out roll). Winning bet pays 8 for 1 (7-to-1). Bet loses if any number other than 2, 3 or 12 comes up on the next roll.
C & E Bets — The C bet is just another way to place an Any Craps bets. Clicking any C spot will place that bet on the lowermost C, and it pays 8 for 1 (7-to-1) on any craps (2, 3 or 12) and loses on all other numbers. Similarly, the E Eleven or Yo bet is just another way to place an 11 Horn bet (5+6 or 6+5). Clicking any E spot will place that bet on the lowermost E, and it pays 16 for 1 (15-to-1) if the next roll is 11 and loses on all other numbers.
C & E Split — Placing a chip on the horizontal bar connecting the C and E spots allows you to cover both Any Craps and Any Eleven bets with a single wager. Clicking any C-E bar will place that bet on the topmost C-E bar. Bet wins if 2, 3, 11 or 12 appear on the next roll, and loses on any other result. Winning bet pays 4 for 1 (3-to-1) on craps (2, 3 or 12) or 8 for 1 (7-to-1) on Yo (11).
Specific Horn Bets — Bets that the next roll of the dice will be a 2, 3, 11 or 12 as indicated by the bet location showing that number total from two dice. Specific Horn bets are resolved on the next roll of the dice according to the following table:
| Bet | Win On | Win Pays | Lose On |
| 2 | 2 | 31 for 1 (30:1) | 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 |
| 3 | 3 | 16 for 1 (15:1) | 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 |
| 11 | 11 | 16 for 1 (15:1) | 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12 |
| 12 | 12 | 31 for 1 (30:1) | 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 |
| Horn Bet | 2 or 12 or 3 or 11 |
31 for 4 (27:4) 16 for 4 (12:4) |
4, 5, 6, 7, 8 , 9, 10 |
4-Way Horn Bet — Placing chips in the box marked Horn Bet covers all four individual Horn bets with a single wager (must be a multiple of 4). If either a 2 or 12 hits on the next roll, the wager will be paid 31 for 4 (27-to-4), or if either a 3 or 11 comes up on the next roll, it pays 16 for 4 (12-to-4). This is an easy way of covering all four horn bets with a single click, and is equivalent to placing 1/4th of the wager in each of the four individual Horn Bet locations.
To
start, click on a chip denomination in the control panel and then
click on bet spots in the table layout to place bets. Each
left-click on a bet spot places a
chip and each right-click removes a
chip. If you place more than the maximum bet on any given spot, your
bet will automatically be reduced to the maximum allowed. The total
amount of all the bets you have on the table will be shown in the
Total Bet counter.
As you mouse-over each bet spot on the table layout, text will appear at the bottom of the control panel to tell you the bet name, payout odds, amount already placed and maximum bet for that spot. For example: "$5 Big 6 bet pays 1-to-1 ($100 Max)".
You can choose to throw the dice yourself, or pass the dice to "another" player who will throw them on each roll. Set the Throw/Pass button on the control panel accordingly. Craps tactics | Craps Strategy | Craps Strategies
When you have all your bets placed, you are ready to roll the dice. Click Roll on the control panel. If you've "passed" the dice, they will appear coming from the right of the screen as if thrown by another player. When the dice settle out, their final values will appear on the Results Board in the upper left corner, winning bets will be paid, resolved bets will be removed and the total amount paid out to you will be shown in the Message Window in the upper right.
If you elected to throw the dice, a shooter view of the table will appear when you click Roll. On initial Come Out rolls you will select two of five dice for your round of throws. Click on the two dice you want use. To throw the dice, use your mouse to position the arm, left-click and hold to cock the arm and then release the left mouse button to toss the dice down the table. The shooter window will disappear once the dice have settled out at the far end. Craps tactics | Craps Strategy | Craps Strategies
