Craps is a game that is slightly more complicated than blackjack and takes a little while to get the hang of. Once you understand the rules though, craps can be fun and rewarding. The first round is known as the come out round. If a 2, 3, 7, 11, or 12 the round ends immediately. If you roll a 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10 that number is called a point. If you roll a point the dice will continue to be rolled until they land on the same point or a 7.

 Pssst...! Want to know a secret? How about the secret of winning at crapless craps? Lots of casinos have Crapless Craps now, and it looks promising. You can’t lose on the comeout to a 2, 3, or 12, and yet you still win on the seven! Sounds good, but if it is such a great deal, why are there regular tables so much more crowded than the crapless craps ones?

You will find some die-hard video poker players in any brick and mortar casino or in any online casino who have done their homework on the game. These players have read every book imaginable on the subject and are often convinced that the only beatable game in the casino is indeed video poker. The players have studied every variation of the game and are convinced it can be beaten regularly for profit. These people will never believe that their game of video poker is anything less than a game determined by skill and they are right.

Ask any casino executive and they’ll tell you that video poker is a real money maker for the house. Yet, many video poker games feature a house edge of less than one percent, and others still can actually yield over a 100% payback if the player uses an optimal playing strategy. Thus, the question needs to be asked: How can these to seemingly contradictory facts be reconciled?
