Best Craps Online Casinos in Finland

Craps is a dice game, historically descended from the English game of Hazard. In Craps, the players take turns to roll the dice. On the first roll, the player is known as the ‘shooter’. The shooter needs to roll a combination of the dice to determine the outcome of the game. The dice then pass to the next player and the cycle continues.

The shooter must first a roll a different combination number to win the first ‘Come Out Roll’. If the shooter rolls a 7 or 11 on the come-out, the shooter wins. If the outcome is a 2, 3, or 12 - also known as 'Craps' - the shooter loses. If the shooter rolls any other number, they establish the ‘Point’. The shooter then continues rolling the dice until they either match the Point again or roll a 7. If they match the Point, they win; if they roll a 7, they lose.

In Craps, players can bet on the outcome of each roll of the dice. The most popular bet is the ‘Pass Line’ bet, where players are wagering on a successful outcome of the Come Out Roll. The Pass Line bet goes on with every roll and remains in force as long as the Point is not matched.

Players can also bet on the outcome of the shooter’s first roll. This is known as the ‘Field Bet’, where players can bet on which ‘Field Number’ the shooter will roll on the first roll. Players can either bet on the Field Numbers being odd, even or a multiple of 3.

Craps is primarily played in California, Atlantic City and the Caribbean Islands, where most of the variations of the game is found. There are two main versions of Craps - American Craps and European Craps.

American Craps is more common in the U.S, as well as in Finland. The game is played in a rather fast pace, and includes all sorts of side bets that players can take. This version of the game is suitable for experienced players and requires a solid understanding of the rules and payout tables.

European Craps is more often found in Europe and Australia. This version of the game is slightly simpler and easier to understand. Players can place fewer side bets and the ‘Field Bet’ available in this version offers fewer options. European Craps is suitable for experienced players and beginners alike.

Despite popular belief, Craps can be played strategically by players, especially in the American Craps version of the game. Experienced players can exploit the Bet and Lay Bets to gain an edge against the house. Furthermore, players can reduce the house edge further by taking multiple Come and Don’t Come bets.

Players can protect their Pass Line bets by ‘taking the Odds’. This bet is generally a safe bet for the players, as the house has no advantage when this bet is taken. It also ensures that the win amounts are larger, reducing the house’s advantage.

Craps is an exciting and entertaining game that can be found in many casinos around the world. Although it may have quite a few rules at first, players soon get the hang of playing the game. The game also offers a variety of bets that can yield high payouts for players, whilst also providing strategical play options. With an understanding of the rules, bet types and strategic play, players can surely enjoy Craps in the comfort of their own homes or in a casino.
