Online Craps is a game played by 1 or more players. Each player take turns rolling two dice. The player rolling the dice is called the "shooter." The game is played in rounds.

On the initial roll, if the total of the two dice is 7, 11, 2, 3 or 12, the round ends immediately and the shooter must roll another. A result of 2, 3 or 12 is called 'craps' and a result of 7 or 11 is called a 'win' or a 'natural.' When any other number (4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10) is rolled on the first roll, this number becomes what is called the point. If a point is established then the shooter will re-roll the dice continuously until either a 7 is rolled, or the point is rolled again. If the shooter rolls the point again, the round ends and the game starts over with the same shooter rolling another first roll. If the shooter rolls a 7 instead of the point, this is called a 'seven-out,' the round ends, and the dice pass to the next player to the left, who becomes the new shooter.

Players can vary to any number of bets. Most of these are betting on the way the round will end (point comes or a seven out). Other betting can include betting on a specific total being rolled, or a specific total being rolled before a 7. In an online casino, players will make bets with chips on a specially made craps table.
