So keep your confidence up while you play – nervousness could pull your game down!

The game is all about rolling the pair of dice, and keeping away from the numbers 2, 3 and 12, which are called ‘craps’. You win instantly when either 7 or 11 get rolled. When you neither win nor lose, but roll 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 and 10 instead, you establish a Point. You continue to roll the dice, your objective being to roll your Point before 7. Though it does sound confusing, it pays to practice the game at a free online casino, and you’ll find it really quite simple.
