Etiquette
Throw with one hand and hit the far wall. Keep hands and drinks out of the table while the dice are live — a hit die voids the roll. By long habit, players avoid saying "seven" while a shooter is rolling. House edges differ enormously by bet, so anchor on the pass line and free odds. Place cash and chips on the felt, not into the dealer's hand. Finish betting before the dealer calls no more bets. Photography is restricted on most gaming floors — ask before taking out a phone. Tipping the dealer is customary but never required.

FAQ
- What is the house edge in Craps?
- Craps runs at 1.41% under standard rules. The edge alone is misleading: what you actually lose is edge x stake x hands per hour, and Craps runs 시간당 약 100회. A lower edge at a faster pace can cost more per hour. This figure assumes standard rules. A venue that changes the payout or the rules changes the real number.
- Which bet is worst at a Craps table?
- In this table Any Seven is worst at 16.67% and Don't Pass is lowest at 1.4%. At the same table, where you place the bet changes the expected loss several times over — the spots with the biggest payouts are usually the ones with the biggest edge.
- Can a first-timer sit at Craps?
- Not recommended until you have watched a few rounds. There are many decisions and a slow one holds up the table.
- What are the payouts in Craps?
- Standard payouts are 필드 / Field 1:1 (2·12는 배수) · 돈 패스 / Don't Pass 1:1 · 애니 세븐 / Any Seven 4:1 · 패스 라인 / Pass Line 1:1. Payouts are something a venue can change, and changing them changes the house edge — if the sign differs from the standard, the edge above does not apply at that table.
- Where can I play Craps in the Philippines?
- The section below lists the 4 venues we have confirmed. Each entry is transcribed from the venue's own page and carries the date we checked it. Figures the venue does not publish — table count, minimum — are left blank rather than estimated.
- What is the table minimum for Craps?
- Not stated by an official source. We do not fill this in with an estimate. Minimums vary by day, hour and floor within the same venue — the sign at the table is the only accurate figure.Not verified
