Best Online Craps Casinos

If you've seen craps played in a brick 'n' mortar joint, you'll know the person holding the dice is the main man.

The same goes for Aussie online casino craps.

To play the game for real money at an online craps casino, head to the 'Craps' tab in the casino lobby. Depending on the Aussie site you're playing at, you may find a few different variations of the game, but ultimately they follow a similar format.

To start the casino online craps game - actually, before you start the game - have a good look at the craps table, as there are plenty of markings and places to put your bets to understand. Put your chips onto the 'Don't Pass' or 'Pass' lines. The player rolling the dice - known as the 'Shooter' - makes a 'Come-Out Roll' by throwing two dice to start off.

If the Shooter rolls a total of 7 or 11 he has another chance to roll. Rolling a further total of 2 (Snake Eyes), 3, or 12 means the game is over and we start over again. Rolling any other total results in that number becoming the 'Point'.

Now it's up to the Shooter to keep rolling until they hit that Point number again. If you do that you'll win an Even-money bet. If you roll a 7, however, the game is over.

Simplified Craps, as the name suggests, is a great craps casino game for novices. To win the game, you have to simply get a total of two, three, four, 10, 11 or 12. If the roll totals five, six, seven, eight or nine, you lose the game. How easy is that? High Point Craps is another popular variant you'll find at an online craps casino. The higher the total of the roll, the better it is for you. Initial rolls of two or three are ignored, and whoever has a roll total of 11 or 12 wins. Any other total becomes 'Point' and the player rolls again to try to get a higher total.

The history is sketchy, but generally it's thought that a Pommie knight by the name of Sir William of Tyre came up with a game called 'Hazard' in the early 12th Century.

A simple game of dice and betting, it maintained popularity in Europe (even becoming known as 'Crabs' by the French) but it wasn't until the 1700s that the game went mainstream after an American, John Winn, adapted the game to include all sorts of new bets. It was in America that the ideas of 'Don't Pass' and 'Pass' entered the game, and those bets remain in the game to this day.

Still hugely popular in the major land-based casinos in Vegas and Europe, the simplicity of the game (once you get round the many betting options) has made it just as popular online.
