Crapless Craps
Currently offered in select Ontario casinos, Crapless Craps offers all the excitement of traditional craps with a couple of game-changing exceptions:
1. No bets lose on a new shooter’s first roll, aka the come-out roll.
2. Any number rolled on the come-out roll becomes the “point”, unless the number is a 7.

Crapless Craps is played on a standard craps table and follows craps rules with a few key differences:
1. A loss isn’t possible on a shooter’s first roll of the dice, aka the come-out roll. Rather, any bet placed on the come-out roll will either win or “push” to the next roll.
2. The “point” can be made by any number on the come-out roll, except for a 7. In traditional craps, there are fewer numbers that can establish the point.
3. “Pass Line bets” lose if the shooter rolls an 11. A Pass Line bet is a bet that a shooter will win on their come-out roll. If the shooter wins, a Pass Line bet wins. If a shooter loses, a Pass Line bet loses.
4. “Don’t Pass bets” are not permitted. In traditional craps, a Don’t Pass bet is a bet that a shooter will lose on their come-out roll.
Once the game moves past the come-out roll, it’s craps as usual.
Crapless Craps is a fast-paced game that can burn through your play budget quickly. Taking the occasional play break can help extend your fun.
