Las Vegas — Common
Common training profile from Craps Lab. Always verify the live table.
One shared training engine for players and dealers — focused on education, memorization and speed instead of a complicated table simulator.
Learn it. Repeat it. Make it automatic.
Craps Master is built for both players and dealers. You do not need a separate mode — choose the rules, choose the bets, and practice the payout until it becomes second nature.
Choose Traditional or Crapless
Select the game you want to practice. Some photographed casino profiles automatically lock the correct game type.
Choose a Casino Profile
The profile controls rules such as Field payouts, vig, hop availability, bonus payouts and other verified or researched procedures. Check the source-confidence label before memorizing a property-specific rule.
Choose Your Play Level
Red Chip, Green Chip and Black Chip levels keep most questions near the wager sizes you actually use. Full Range uses the broader casino limits. Craps Master still honors correct bet increments and the selected table's minimum and maximum.
Pick a Training Style
Select My Bets drills only what you choose. Random Bets mixes valid action. Smart Drill automatically gives extra work to your weakest or slowest payouts.
Enter Profit Only
Unless the question specifically says otherwise, enter the amount won — not the original wager being returned. The explanation shows the payout ratio and mental shortcut.
Build Accuracy and Speed
Craps Master records accuracy, answer time and mastery by bet. For dealers, speed matters. For players, fast recognition makes it easier to verify a payout at a live table.

Start with Place Bets on 6 and 8, then 5 and 9, then 4 and 10. Once those feel automatic, add odds, Field, Buy/Lay and center action.
The dice create the action. The bets decide what you are rooting for.
One player is the shooter and rolls two dice. Most of the game revolves around whether a number is established as the point and whether that point repeats before a 7.
1. The Come-Out Roll and the Point
A new hand begins with a come-out roll. On a standard Pass Line bet, 7 or 11 wins immediately; 2, 3 or 12 loses. A 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10 becomes the point.
Once a point is established, the shooter continues until either the point repeats or a 7 rolls.
2. Pass Line and Don't Pass
Pass Line is the basic bet with the shooter: win on 7/11 on the come-out, lose on 2/3/12, then win if the point repeats before 7.
Don't Pass generally takes the opposite side in Traditional Craps. Rules for the 12 can include a push. Many Crapless tables do not offer Don't Pass.
3. Odds — the cleanest payout math
After a point is established, many casinos allow an additional Odds wager. Odds pay true mathematical odds with no built-in house advantage on the Odds portion.
- 4 / 10: 2:1
- 5 / 9: 3:2
- 6 / 8: 6:5
Crapless points 2/12 and 3/11 have different true-odds ratios.
4. Place Bets
A Place bet says a selected number will roll before a 7. The wager normally remains working after a win unless you take it down or the casino procedure says otherwise.
- 6 / 8 pay 7:6
- 5 / 9 pay 7:5
- 4 / 10 pay 9:5
Crapless tables may also allow Place bets on 2, 3, 11 and 12 with different payouts.
5. Buy and Lay Bets
A Buy bet pays true odds on a number and usually carries a commission called the vig. A Lay bet is the opposite: you are betting that 7 will appear before the selected number.
Buy vig timing matters: some casinos collect the vig when the Buy bet is placed. Others book the full Buy bet and collect the vig only if the number wins. On an up-front-vig table, the payout on the hit is the full true-odds win because the commission was already paid. On a win-only table, the commission is taken from the winning payout.
Craps Master stores that rule in each casino profile and changes the drill procedure automatically. Rounding also varies by property. Many tables round the vig down to the dollar with a $1 minimum — for example, a $25 Buy on the 4 pays just $1 — while others charge to the cent or round up. Set the rounding in your profile so the drill matches your table.
6. Come and Don't Come
A Come bet behaves much like a new Pass Line bet made after a point already exists. Its first roll acts like its own come-out roll, and if a number is established the wager travels to that number. Don't Come is the opposite-side version where offered.
7. The Field
The Field is a one-roll bet on 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11 or 12. Most winning Field numbers pay even money, while 2 and/or 12 may pay double or triple depending on the casino.
This is a perfect example of why the selected casino profile matters.
8. Hardways and Proposition Bets
Hardways win when 4, 6, 8 or 10 appears as a matching pair before an easy version of that number or a 7. Center-table proposition bets such as Horn, C&E, Any Craps, Any Seven and hops are generally one-roll or special-condition bets with larger payouts.
Dealers often need these payouts instantly, making them especially useful for memorization drills.
9. Number Completion Bonus
Many layouts offer a bonus based on rolling groups of numbers before a 7. Craps Master uses generic terminology: Small Side, All Numbers and Tall Side.
The exact payout and wager limits vary significantly by property, so the profile is especially important here.
10. Traditional vs. Crapless
Traditional Craps uses 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 and 10 as point numbers. Crapless expands the point numbers to include 2, 3, 11 and 12, changing the come-out behavior and creating additional Place/Buy/Odds calculations.
The basic table rhythm remains familiar, but payout memorization becomes more demanding — one reason Crapless has its own first-class mode in Craps Master.
11. Who Does What at the Table?
Shooter: rolls the dice. Stick: controls the dice and commonly handles/announces center action. Base dealers: handle line, Come, Place, Buy, Lay, Field, odds and player action on their side. Box / floor supervision: oversees procedure, bankroll and disputes.
Craps Master uses one training engine because both players and dealers benefit from recognizing the same payout quickly and correctly.
12. Profit vs. Total Return
If a $30 Place 6 wins $35, the profit is $35. If the original wager is returned at the same time, the total returned is $65.
Craps Master normally asks for profit so you learn the actual payoff. Always read the question wording.
Pass Line → Odds → Place 6/8 → Place 5/9 → Place 4/10 → Field → Come → Hardways → proposition bets → Buy/Lay → Crapless extreme numbers.
