The round, in three steps
- Come-out roll. Pass line wins on 7 or 11 ("natural") and loses on 2, 3 or 12 ("craps").
- A point is set. Any 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10 becomes the point, and the dealer flips the puck to ON over that number.
- Point or seven. Roll the point again before a 7 and the pass line wins. A 7 first ("seven-out") loses, and the dice pass to the next shooter.
Taking odds
Once a point is set you can add an odds bet behind your pass line. It pays exactly the true odds, so it carries no house edge at all.
| Point | Odds pay | Ways to make it vs. 7 |

| 4 or 10 | 2:1 | 3 vs 6 |
| 5 or 9 | 3:2 | 4 vs 6 |
| 6 or 8 | 6:5 | 5 vs 6 |
