Craps is played in rounds. Each round starts with a "come-out" roll. Bet Pass Line, Don't Pass, and/or Field, then roll. A come-out total of 7 or 11 wins Pass Line instantly (natural); 2, 3, or 12 loses it (craps). Any other total (4,5,6,8,9,10) becomes the "point" — the round continues, rolling again and again, until that point number repeats (Pass Line wins) or a 7 appears (seven-out, Pass Line loses, Don't Pass wins).
| Bet | Wins when | Pays |
|---|---|---|
| Pass Line | 7/11 on come-out, or point repeats | 1 : 1 |
| Don't Pass | 2/3 on come-out, or a 7 before the point (12 pushes) | 1 : 1 |

Only available once a point is established. A hit pays out and clears the bet. If the round ends because the point was made (not your number), your still-active place bets are refunded, not lost. A 7 loses everything on the table.
