If you're seeking the best of gaming in WV, Craps at Mardi Gras is one of the most exciting table games. It offers many betting options and ways to win. We offer both $5 and $10 craps with a $1000 maximum bet.

The Shooter is the player who is rolling the dice. A Line Bet (Pass or Don't Pass) must be placed by the Shooter to be eligible to roll the dice. In addition, the Shooter will be able to place other bets. Shooters who make Don't Pass Bets are not betting against themselves, but are betting that the dice will not pass.

THE One Casino in West Virginia with Craps and Cajun-Style

In WV Craps Games offer many ways to Bet PASS LINE BETS

The Pass Line Bet is an even-money bet (1-1) and you are betting with the Shooter, which may be you or whoever is rolling the dice. You win if the toss is natural (7 or 11) on the first roll of the dice or, the come-out roll, and you lose if the toss is craps (2, 3 or 12). Any other number is considered a come-out point. To win, the Shooter must throw the same number again before a 7 is thrown. If a 7 is rolled before the point, the Shooter must pass the dice and you lose. If you bet on the pass, you cannot remove or lessen your bet after a point has been established regarding the bet.

DON'T PASS LINE BETS
The Don't Pass Line Bet is the opposite of the Pass Line Bet. With this bet, you are betting against the Shooter and you win if the come-out roll is a 2 or 3 (1-1); you lose if the roll is a 7 or 11. A roll of 12 is a standoff and you neither win nor lose. If a point is established and rolled, you lose; if a 7 is rolled before the point, you win (1-1). If you bet the Don't Pass Bet, you can remove or lessen your bet at any time. You cannot replace or raise your bet until another come-out point has been tossed.

COME BETS
After the come-out roll, you can place a bet at any time. If a natural (7) is rolled after you place your bet, you win (1-1) and, if a craps (2, 3 or 12) is rolled, you lose. If any other number is rolled, this will become your come-point and you win 1-1 if this number is rolled before a 7. You lose if a 7 is rolled before this number. Your come bet cannot be removed or lessened after an established point, but you can make as many bets as you like.

DON'T COME BETS
Don't Come Bets are the opposite of Come Bets where you lose if a natural (7 or 11) is rolled after your bet is placed and you win (1-1) if a craps of 2 or 3 is rolled. Twelve is a standoff. Any other number is your don't come point, which will pay even money (1-1). After you have placed your don't come bet and your don't come point has been established, you win if a 7 is rolled before your don't come point. You lose if your don't come point is rolled before a 7. You can remove or lessen your don't come bet at any time, but cannot raise or replace it.

PLACE BETS
Place Bets may be made at any time, but will neither win nor lose on the come-out roll. You can bet on any number (4, 5, 6, 8, 9 and 10). You win if your number is rolled before a 7 and you lose if a 7 is rolled after you have made your Place Bet. There are a variety of odds: 4 or 10 pays 9-5, 5 or 9 pays 7-5, 6 or 8 pays 7-6. You can remove or lessen your bet at any time after the dice have been rolled.

BUY BETS
Buy Bets are a variation of Place Bets. You can bet on 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10 by setting your bet on the table and telling the dealer the number you want. The dealer then places the bet in the correct box and a "buy" button on the bet to show that you will be paid true odds. This bet must be accompanied by a 5% commission. For example, if you buy the number for $20.00 to win $40.00, your commission will be 5% of $20.00 or $1.00. You win if your number is rolled before a 7.

LAY BETS
Lay Bets are the opposite of Buy Bets because you win on a 7 and lose if the point appears. When you place your bet on the table and tell the dealer your desired number, he places a "lay" button on your number to show that you will be paid true odds. A commission of 5% on Lay Bets are paid on the payoff amount, which differs from the 5% commission paid on the wagered amount in Buy Bets.

HARDWAYS
Hardways only applies to even numbers (4, 6, 8 and 10). In order to win a Hardway bet, the even numbers must be rolled in pairs. For example, a Hardway 6 is two 3's. If your number is rolled any other way, you lose. You also lose if a 7 is rolled. Winning pays you 9-1 on the 6 and 8 and 7-1 on the 4 and 10. Hardway bets can be made at any time.

Payoffs are made according to each total minus the three chips that were bet on the other three losing numbers. You lose if any other number is rolled.

When making a Come Bet or Don't Come Bet, an additional bet may be made to supplement your original wager after the roll following your original Come or Don't Come Bet.

"Taking odds" are supplemental wagers on Pass Line and Come Bets. "Laying odds" are supplemental wagers on Don't Pass and Don't Come Bets. "Taking odds" wagers are paid at true odds-1-2 on 4 and 10, 2-3 on 5 and 9, 6-5 on 6 and 8.
