Craps is a popular casino game that allows players to socialize. The Las Vegas Strip is home to many casinos where you can play craps.
Here are a few pointers to note while playing this exciting game:
Low House Advantage
Considering the house edge is one of the smartest criteria to follow when choosing what game to play. A game with a lower house advantage gives the player a more significant chance of winning. In craps, you can play the odds bet, a unique instance that does have any house advantage. Instead, there is an equal payout in a 1:1 ratio with the casino for a winning bet. To play this bet, players bet behind set craps wagers.
Where to Play
Nearly all Strip casinos have a craps table. However, you are better off playing some specific casinos over others to enjoy some perks. For example, the Strat is one of the casinos with a provision to play the odds bet, which has no house advantage. They also give 10Χ odds multipliers which is still relatively better than other casinos which offer less.
However, as far as multipliers go, The Cromwell goes as high as 100Χ odds multipliers with $5 minimum bets. You can also wager $5 with up to 20Χ odds multipliers in Main Street Station Casino downtown.
Bally’s and The Sahara are also fantastic picks, as they occasionally have $5 craps tables during off-peak hours, usually early mornings on weekdays. If you are a high roller, try out the casinos at the Venetian, Wynn Las Vegas, the Palazzo and Mandalay bay, which allow players to wage up to $5000.
You Don’t Need to be an Expert to Play.
Craps is not as complicated as some casino games tend to be. You can learn the basics of the game in minutes, enabling you to play and improve as you progress. An excellent start is understanding the pass and don’t pass lines. You can bet on either of the two. Winning depends on the outcome of the shooter with every roll.
For example, if you bet on the pass line, you win if the shooter rolls a 7 or 11. If they roll numbers 2, 3 or 12, it is considered a loss in this game. Any other number between these five winning or losing numbers earns you a point.
Once you master the rules, you can try your luck and play craps on the Strip.
