Betting Options

Pass Line

These are bet on 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 and 10. You win when your number is rolled before a 7 – after the come out roll. Roll a 4-10 and it pays 9 to 5; roll 5-9 and it pays 7-to-5; roll 6-8 and it pays 7-to-6.

Don’t Pass Line

This is the opposite of the Pass line bet. You win on 2 or 3 and lose on 7 or 11 on the first roll. If 12 comes up, it’s a Push (tie) and no one wins. Any other number that comes up is the point. You win if 7 is rolled before the point comes up again. This bet will pay even money too. Unlike a Pass line bet, a Don’t Pass line bet can be picked up by the player before a win or lose decision is reached.

Hard Ways

There are four Hard Way combinations: Hard Four (two 2s), Hard Six (two 3s), Hard Eight (two 4s) and Hard Ten (two 5s). So if you bet on Hard Six, you win if a pair of 3s comes up before a 7 – or before an Easy Six (5 and 1, or 4 and 2). Remember, Hard Six and Hard Eight pays 9-to-1; Hard Four and Hard Ten pays 7-to-1.

Place Bets

These are bet on 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 and 10. You win when your number is rolled before a 7 – after the come out roll. Roll a 4-10 and it pays 9 to 5; roll 5-9 and it pays 7-to-5; roll 6-8 and it pays 7-to-6.
