🎲 Craps

🎲 The idea

You throw two dice. On the first throw — the come-out — a 7 or 11 wins the pass line and a 2, 3 or 12 loses it. Anything else becomes the point, and now you have to roll that number again before a 7.
That is the whole game. Everything else on the table is optional.

⭐ The odds bet, which is the point of all this

Once a point is set you may put more money behind your line bet. That extra money is paid at true odds — 2 to 1 on the 4 and 10, 3 to 2 on the 5 and 9, 6 to 5 on the 6 and 8 — which means the house keeps nothing from it.
It is the only bet in the entire building with no house edge, and it is not advertised anywhere on a real table. You are only allowed to make it because you already made a worse one.

💸 Why the middle of the table looks like that

A craps layout is the most frightening surface in a casino, and it is frightening on purpose: the crowded middle is where the bad bets live, and somebody who cannot read it bets whatever the person beside them is betting.
So every square here says what it costs, before you tap it. Green stripe: cheap. Red stripe: not. The numbers are printed as well, because colour on its own is not an answer.

📋 What every square costs

The house edge is the share of everything staked that the table keeps, over time. It is worked out from the dice, not typed in — and the whole list is sorted cheapest first.

🙂 Levels

🌱 Sprout: the pass line. One bet, one button — and that is craps.
🧭 Scout: odds behind the line, and come bets.
🏆 Ace: the whole crowded middle.
A level changes how much of the table you can reach. What it adds is always worse than what you already had — except the odds, which is better than everything and costs nothing.

🚫 What this game will never tell you

There is no hot shooter, no due number and no lucky streak here, because there is no such thing. Dice have no memory. The last rolls are shown as a record, not a hint.

🪙 The counters

They are counters. They buy nothing, they turn into nothing, and this game will never ask you for anything. When they run out — or when you cash out — you get told what you put in, what came back, and how that compares to the best square on the table.
