Stickman Steve's Guide to Craps

Everything you need to walk up to the table with confidence — whether it's your first roll or your ten-thousandth.

The Best Free Online Craps Simulator & Strategy Tester

Welcome to Infinite Craps — a free craps simulator where the dice never stop and the table's always hot. This isn't your typical click-and-wait practice game. Infinite Craps runs a live, continuous craps table shared by every visitor. You see the same rolls, the same shooters, the same streaks. It's the closest you'll get to standing at a real Vegas felt without buying a plane ticket.

Use it to learn how to play craps from scratch, sharpen your betting instincts, or put your favorite craps strategy through the wringer. The simulator supports every bet you'd find at a real casino — Pass Line, Don't Pass, Come, Place, Hardways, Field, Fire Bet, All-Tall-Small, Hop Bets, and 60 more. You start with a $500 bankroll, pick your chip size, and bet against true random dice with mathematically accurate payouts. Every roll is logged to a database, so you can analyze craps dice probability distributions and roll patterns across tens of thousands of actual outcomes.

How to Play Craps — A Quick Beginner's Guide

Craps tables look like organized chaos — shouting, chips flying, a dozen bets going at once. But under all that noise, the core game is beautifully simple. Here's all you need to know:

The Come-Out Roll

Every round starts here. If the shooter rolls a 7 or 11, Pass Line bets win on the spot — that's called a "natural." Roll a 2, 3, or 12 and you've crapped out — Pass Line loses. Any other number (4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10) becomes "the point," and the real game begins.

The Point Phase

Now the shooter's got a number to chase. They keep rolling until they either hit their point again (Pass Line wins, crowd goes wild) or roll a 7 first — that's a "seven-out," Pass Line loses, and the dice move to the next shooter. Everything in between is just atmosphere and side bets.

Place Your Bets

While the point phase plays out, the table comes alive. You can Place specific numbers, throw down Come bets (your own personal Pass Line mid-round), back your bets with Odds for zero house edge, play the Field, bet the Hardways, or fire off one-roll propositions. Each bet has its own odds — some smart, some wild, all worth understanding.

Every Craps Bet Explained — Odds, Payouts & Strategy

Light Side — Betting With the Shooter

Pass Line📖 Guide — The bread-and-butter craps bet. Wins on 7 or 11 on the come-out, loses on 2/3/12. Once the point is set, you're rooting for it to hit before the 7. House edge: 1.41%. If you only learn one bet, make it this one.

Pass Line Odds📖 Guide — The single best bet in the entire casino. After the point is set, you "back up" your Pass Line with an Odds bet that pays true mathematical odds — zero house edge. Infinite Craps lets you take 3-4-5x max odds automatically.

Come Bet📖 Guide — Works exactly like a Pass Line, but you can place it during the point phase. Your next roll becomes your personal come-out — and if a point is set, your chips physically move to that number. Stacking Come bets with Odds is the backbone of the 3-Point Molly strategy.

Place Bets📖 Guide — Pick a number (4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10) and bet it hits before the 7. No come-out required — you're live immediately. Place 6 and Place 8 carry just a 1.52% house edge, making them a sharp player's go-to.

Dark Side — Betting Against the Shooter

Don't Pass📖 Guide — The flip side of the Pass Line. Wins on 2 or 3 on the come-out, loses on 7/11, pushes on 12. After the point, you want the 7 to show before the point hits. House edge: 1.36% — technically the smartest line bet, even if the table gives you side-eye.

Don't Pass Odds📖 Guide — Lay Odds behind your Don't Pass for true odds payouts. Zero house edge, just like Pass Odds. Combined edge drops to roughly 0.27%.

Don't Come📖 Guide — The dark-side version of Come. Your next roll sets your Don't Come point, and you win if 7 rolls before that number. Pair it with Lay Odds for maximum efficiency.

Lay Bets📖 Guide — Bet that the 7 comes before a specific number. The opposite of Place bets. You put up more to win less, but the math is solid.

Props, Bonus Bets & the Fire Bet

Field📖 Guide — A one-roll bet covering 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11, and 12. Pays even money on most, double on 2, and triple on 12. House edge: 5.56%. Popular with beginners because it wins on 7 of 11 possible totals — but the losing numbers come up more often than you'd think.

Hardways📖 Guide — Bet that a specific double (like 3+3 for Hard 6 or 5+5 for Hard 10) rolls before a 7 or the "easy" combination. Hard 6 and Hard 8 pay 9:1; Hard 4 and Hard 10 pay 7:1. They sit in the center of the table for a reason — high risk, high reward.

Horn, C&E & World📖 Guide — One-roll proposition bets covering the extreme numbers: 2, 3, 11, and 12. The payouts look gorgeous. The house edge is steep. Perfect for when you've got a hunch and a few bucks to spare.

Fire Bet📖 Guide — The crown jewel of bonus bets. It tracks how many unique point numbers the shooter converts in a single hand. Hit 4 unique points and the Fire Bet pays 25-to-1. Five points? 250-to-1. All six? Up to 999-to-1. The house edge is around 20%, but nobody's placing a Fire Bet for the math — they're placing it for the story. Infinite Craps tracks your Fire Bet progress in real time as each point lights up.

Craps Strategy Simulator — Backtest Before You Bet Real Money

Let's be straight: no betting system beats the house edge over infinite rolls. The math always wins eventually. But smart strategy dramatically stretches your bankroll, controls your variance, and gives you the best possible shot during any given session. Infinite Craps includes a built-in strategy simulator that backtests your approach against thousands of real logged dice rolls — essentially a Monte Carlo simulation you can run in seconds, so you walk into the casino knowing exactly what to expect.

Pass Line + Max Odds 📖 Guide

Combined edge: ~0.37%

The mathematician's choice. Pass Line at 1.41% is already low, but backing it with 3-4-5x Odds (which pay true odds at zero house edge) dilutes your overall exposure to the absolute minimum. If you could only make one play for the rest of your craps career, this is the one.

3-Point Molly 📖 Guide

Combined edge: ~0.37%

Pass Line plus two continuous Come bets, all backed by max Odds. Keeps three numbers working at all times — maximum action with minimum house advantage. A favorite of disciplined players who like being in the game on every roll.

Iron Cross 📖 Guide

Combined edge: ~3.9%

Place the 5, 6, and 8 plus a Field bet. Now every number except 7 puts money in your pocket. The catch: when the 7 does show, it wipes all four bets at once. Recreational players love the rhythm of constant small wins. Sharps know the 7 always comes eventually.

Don't Pass + Lay Odds 📖 Guide

Combined edge: ~0.27%

The lowest house edge in craps, period. You're betting against the shooter — winning smaller amounts more often and taking the occasional hit when a point converts. Not the most popular seat at the table, but the numbers don't lie.

$44 Inside 📖 Guide

Combined edge: ~1.52–4.0%

Place the four inside numbers — 5, 6, 8, and 9 — after the point is set. Covers 18 of 36 dice combinations, so you're getting paid on half the outcomes. The 6 and 8 carry just 1.52% edge. Simple, steady, satisfying.

Inside Regress 📖 Guide

Combined edge: ~1.52–4.0%

Start big with $110 Inside (2.5× the standard spread), then after the first hit, drop down to $44 Inside. That first win at the higher level covers most of your initial risk — then you ride the shooter at reduced exposure. A veteran move for locking in profit early while staying in the action.

Place 5 & 9 📖 Guide

Combined edge: ~4.0%

The overlooked counterpart to Place 6 & 8. The 5 and 9 each have five ways to roll and pay 7:5 — less frequent than the 6 and 8, but a solid low-complexity play for players who want coverage on two numbers without locking up more capital.

$54 Outside 📖 Guide

Combined edge: ~3.2–6.7%

Place the four outside numbers — 4, 5, 9, and 10 — after the point is set. Covers the numbers that are intentionally excluded from the $44 Inside spread. The 4 and 10 pay a fat 9:5 when they hit, making this a higher-variance play suited to shooters who love point-number heat.

Pass Line Martingale 📖 Guide

Combined edge: ~1.41% (house edge unchanged)

Double your Pass Line bet after every loss, reset to the base unit after every win. In theory, one win always recovers all prior losses plus one unit profit. In practice, a bad streak burns through your bankroll — and the table limits — before the recovery happens. High variance, deeply satisfying when it works.

Paroli 📖 Guide

Combined edge: ~1.41% (house edge unchanged)

The positive-progression answer to Martingale. Double your Pass Line bet after each win, ride the streak up to three consecutive wins, then pocket it all and reset. You're only ever risking your winnings, not a compounding stack of your own money. A disciplined player's tool for capturing hot runs without catastrophic downswings.

Fibonacci 📖 Guide

Combined edge: ~1.41% (house edge unchanged)

Progress through the Fibonacci sequence (1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13…) on your Pass Line bet after each loss — move back two steps after each win. Slower to escalate than Martingale but still requires discipline. The mathematical elegance makes it a popular choice for players who want structure without the cliff-edge doubling of a pure Martingale.

5-Count Method 📖 Guide

Combined edge: ~1.52% on Place 6/8 (when active)

Frank Scoblete's patience-first approach: wait for a shooter to roll five times before placing any bets (counting starts on the first point number rolled). Most random shooters seven-out before hitting five rolls — so you simply sit out the cold ones and only bet once a shooter has demonstrated staying power. Reduces exposure without changing the underlying house edge when you do bet.

Hop the Sevens 📖 Guide

Combined edge: ~11.1% (prop territory)

During the point phase, bet all three seven combinations (1-6, 2-5, 3-4) as hop bets. When the 7 falls, one of your three combos pays 15:1 while the other two lose, for a net gain of +13 units on a 3-unit outlay. When anything else rolls, all three lose. A high-house-edge hedge play — some players use it as a small insurance wager during long shooters.

Put Bet + Max Odds 📖 Guide

Combined edge: as low as ~0.5% with max odds

Skip the come-out entirely. Place a Put bet directly on the 6 during the point phase, then immediately back it with 5x Odds. You pay 1:1 on the Put (unfavorable without odds), but the 5x Odds at true 6:5 payouts bring the combined edge down sharply. Best used when a shooter has set the point and you want immediate action on the most-rolled number without waiting for a new hand.

Then hit Apply and the Strategy Backtest chart instantly shows how your creation would have performed across every roll in your session.

Table Culture — What They Don't Teach You Online

Knowing the bets is half the game. Knowing how to act at the table is the other half. Here's what the floor won't tell you but every regular knows.

🎲 The Flow of a Craps Table

When you walk up, buy in by setting cash on the felt (never hand-to-hand) and saying "change only." The dealer converts your bills to chips. The stickman controls the dice and pushes them to the shooter with a hooked stick. After the roll, the dealers pay winners from the outside in — starting with Don't Pass, then Pass Line, then Place bets from the highest number down. Knowing this rhythm helps you anticipate when your payout's coming.

🤝 Conventions, Customs, & Superstitions

Tip the dealers. Drop a $1 bet "for the boys" on the Pass Line — it's appreciated and it's tradition. After a hot roll, many players toss a tip to the shooter too (technically to the dealers on their behalf). Don't say "seven." Seriously. Call it "the big red" or just don't say it at all — the table will let you know if you slip. When the dice come to you, pick them up with one hand only, and throw them hard enough to hit the back wall. The stickman will call "no roll" if you don't.

🚫 Faux Pas to Avoid

Late bets: Don't toss chips after the stickman says "hands high, dice are out." Don't reach: Keep your hands out of the table area once the dice are live — if the dice hit your hand, you'll get the stink-eye from everyone. Don't hand money directly to the dealer — lay it on the felt and they'll pick it up. Don't play on your phone while holding up the game. And if you're a Don't Pass bettor, celebrate quietly — you're winning when everyone else is losing.

💡 Making Bets at the Table

Pass Line, Don't Pass, Come, Don't Come, and Field — you place these yourself by putting chips in the marked area. Everything else goes through the dealer. For Place bets, toss your chips to the inside and say "Place the six" or "Sixty-six inside" for all four inside numbers. For proposition bets (hardways, hops, horn), toss chips to the stickman in the center and call your bet. Odds bets go directly behind your existing line bet — the dealer will tell you max odds if you ask. At a busy table, being clear and concise with your calls earns respect from the crew.

Yes. No account needed, nothing to download, and no ads. You get a $500 virtual bankroll and can rebuy whenever you go bust. The full simulation, all 75+ bet types, the Strategy Builder, and session analytics are free. We're working on optional premium features for serious players (all-time backtesting, saved strategies, private tables) — but the core game will always be free.

Every die is rolled independently using a cryptographically seeded random number generator — the same class of RNG used in regulated online gaming. We log every single roll to a database, and you can verify the distribution yourself in the charts section. Over thousands of rolls, each outcome converges precisely to its mathematical probability. No thumb on the scale.

Absolutely. Infinite Craps is fully responsive — works great on phones, tablets, and desktops. The 3D board, bet matrix, and all charts automatically adapt to your screen size. Same full experience everywhere.

Most craps simulators online are glorified slot machines — click "roll," see a number, repeat. Infinite Craps is a live, always-on simulation with a shared multiplayer table, spectator avatars, 3D dice physics, animated chip piles that respond in real time as bets are placed and paid, an ON puck that lands directly on the active point number, real-time statistics across thousands of rolls, a strategy backtesting engine, and every bet type a real casino offers — including bonus bets like Fire Bet and All-Tall-Small that most simulators skip entirely. It's built to feel like a real table, not a browser game.

That's half the point. Use the Strategy Builder to create your own system from scratch — choose your base bet, add place numbers, toggle bonus bets, set progression systems like Martingale or Paroli, and define conditional rules. Hit Apply and the Strategy Backtest chart instantly shows how your strategy would have performed. You can also pick from 18 preset strategies (Pass Line + Odds, Iron Cross, 3-Point Molly, $44 Inside, Paroli, Fibonacci, 5-Count Method, and more) and backtest against the last 100, 1,000, or 10,000+ real rolls.

For beginners, the Pass Line with free odds is the best starting point. The Pass Line has a house edge of just 1.41%, and backing it with free odds (which pay at true casino odds — no house edge at all) brings your combined edge down to under 0.4% at 3-4-5x odds. It's simple, low-risk, and gives you the best shot of any bet on the table. Once you're comfortable, the 3-Point Molly strategy — Pass Line plus two Come bets all with max odds — keeps three numbers working and is a favorite of serious players. Start with Pass Line, add odds, and you'll be playing smarter than most people at a real casino.

The fire bet is a bonus side bet that pays when the shooter establishes and hits multiple different points before sevening out. It pays nothing for 1–2 unique points, but escalates sharply: 3 unique points typically pays 10:1, 4 pays 200:1, 5 pays 2,000:1, and all 6 unique points pays 999:1 or more depending on the casino. The fire bet carries a high house edge (around 20–25%), but the massive upside on a hot shooter makes it exciting. Infinite Craps tracks fire bet progress in real time — you can watch the flame icons light up as each point gets marked.

A come bet works exactly like a Pass Line bet — except you can place it on any roll after the point is established, not just the come-out. When you put chips in the Come area, the next roll becomes your personal come-out: 7 or 11 wins immediately, 2/3/12 loses. Any other number (4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10) becomes your come point, and the dealer moves your chips to that number on the layout. Your come bet then wins if that number rolls again before a 7. You can back a come bet with free odds — placed behind your come chips — for the same zero-edge boost as Pass Line odds. Come bets let you have multiple numbers working at once, which is the core of the 3-Point Molly strategy.

No — and that's by design. Infinite Craps is a learning and practice tool built to help you understand craps mechanics, test strategies, and build real confidence before you put actual money on the felt. All currency is virtual. Think of it as a flight simulator for the craps table.

The core game will always be free. We're working on optional premium features for serious players — things like all-time backtesting across the full roll history, saved custom strategies, private simulation tables, and advanced analytics. If you're the kind of person who geeks out over craps data and wants to push the strategy testing further, keep an eye on the locked features for details.

⚠️ DISCLAIMER: Infinite Craps is a free simulation for entertainment and educational purposes only. No real money is wagered, won, or lost. Simulated results do not guarantee real-world outcomes. Must be 18+ to use. If you or someone you know has a gambling problem, call 1-800-522-4700 (National Problem Gambling Helpline).
