ef2000 Gold Craps –
The Secret to Winning at Dice
The thrilling roll of two dice, a wide variety of bets from Pass Line to Hardways — in ef2000's Gold Craps section, explore the full rules, bet types, and house edge breakdown for this classic game.
Gold Craps What it is and where it came from
Craps is one of the world's oldest and most thrilling casino dice games. Players place a variety of bets on the numbers rolled with two six-sided dice. The craps table is typically the loudest on the casino floor – because one player's lucky streak becomes everyone's celebration.
Gold Craps is a premium variant of this classic game available in ef2000's casino section. The "Gold" name reflects the game's enhanced graphics, smooth interface, and refined betting experience. On the ef2000 platform, this game is especially well-suited for players who are new to craps.
Craps is relatively unfamiliar in Bangladesh, largely because the rules can look complicated at first glance. But the core concept is simple — roll a 7 or 11 to win, roll a 2, 3, or 12 to lose, and any other number becomes your "point" as the game continues. ef2000's Gold Craps makes the whole journey genuinely enjoyable.
This is a visual demo only. The real game is available on the ef2000 platform.
Craps How to Play
Gold Craps is divided into two main phases. Understanding each phase is all it takes to grasp the full game.
Come-Out Roll (first throw
This phase begins when the Shooter (the player rolling the dice) makes their first roll. It is the most critical moment in the game. Rolling a 7 or 11 wins the Pass Line bet, while a 2, 3, or 12 loses ("Craps Out"). Any other number (4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10) becomes the "Point Number."
Point Phase
Once the Point is established, the Shooter continues rolling. The goal is to roll the Point number again before a 7 appears. If a 7 comes first, the Pass Line bet loses and the Shooter changes. If the Point is rolled again, the Pass Line bet wins and a new Come-Out Roll begins.
Multi-player participation
Craps is a social game. Players can back the Shooter by betting the Pass Line, or bet against them on the Don't Pass Line. This social dynamic is what makes craps the liveliest game on the casino floor.
Betting Time Limit
In online Gold Craps, each roll has a fixed betting window. You must make your decision before the timer runs out. ef2000's interface displays this countdown clearly.

In Gold Craps Introduction to Bet Types
Craps offers dozens of betting options. For beginners, it's wise to start with the simpler bets.
Core Bets (Simplest & Lowest House Edge)
Pass Line
Wins on 7 or 11 during the Come-Out Roll; loses on 2/3/12. Once a Point is set, wins if that number reappears before a 7. The most popular bet in craps.
House Edge: ~1.41%Don't Pass Line
The opposite of Pass Line. Rolling a 2 or 3 on the Come-Out wins; 7/11 loses; 12 is a Push (tie). Once a Point is set, a 7 before the Point wins.
House edge: ~1.36%Come Bet
Can be placed after the Point is established. The next roll is treated as a new Come-Out. Wins on 7 or 11, loses on 2/3/12; any other number becomes the new Come Point.
Same RTP as the Pass LineDon't Come Bet
Similar to Don't Pass, but can be placed during the Point Phase. Once a Come Point is set, a 7 before the Come Point wins; the Come Point repeating loses.
Same RTP as Don't PassOdds Bet (Free Odds)
An additional bet placed after a Pass/Come bet, with a house edge of zero. Payouts are made at true odds — making this the fairest bet in the casino.
House Edge: 0%Place Bet
A direct bet on any one of 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10. Wins if that number appears before a 7. Place Bets on 6 and 8 carry the lowest house edge.
On 6/8: ~1.52%Proposition Bets (High Risk, High Payout)
Field Bet
Wins if a single roll lands on 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11, or 12; loses on 5, 6, 7, or 8. Pays double on 2 and triple on 12. House edge is approximately 2.78%.
Any Seven
This bet wins if the next roll is a 7. Payout is 4:1. However, the probability of rolling a 7 is 6/36 = 16.7%, giving a house edge of 16.67% — extremely high.
Hardways
Hard 4 (2+2), Hard 6 (3+3), Hard 8 (4+4), Hard 10 (5+5) — identical numbers on both dice. You win if the Hardway lands before a 7 or the Easy Way. Payouts are bigger, but so is the house edge.
Any Craps
This bet wins if the next roll is 2, 3, or 12. Payout is 7:1. Probability: 4/36 = 11.1%. House edge is approximately 11.1%.
Horn Bet
Equal bets placed simultaneously on 2, 3, 11, and 12. A win on any of the four numbers pays out at different multipliers. The house edge varies by number.
Big 6 / Big 8
A bet that a 6 or 8 will appear before a 7. Payout is 1:1. The house edge is higher than a Place Bet (9.09%). Place 6/8 is always the better option.
Tips for Beginners: If Gold Craps feels overwhelming at first, start with just the Pass Line and Odds Bet. These two have the lowest house edge and the simplest rules. Proposition bets may look tempting, but their house edge is significantly higher. ef2000's Responsible Gaming section for more guidance on this topic.

In Gold Craps Conscious Approach
Craps is a game of chance. However, which bets you choose is entirely up to you. Understanding the house edge is the most effective strategy in this game.
Start with Pass Line + Free Odds
Best advice for beginners — stick to Pass Line and Odds Bet only. Pass Line house edge is 1.41%; Odds Bet is 0%. Learn the more complex bets later.
Place 6 & Place 8 Are Strong Options
6 and 8 have the highest probability of rolling (after 7). The house edge on Place 6/8 is just 1.52% — very low. Avoid Big 6/Big 8, where the house edge jumps to 9%.
Keep Proposition Bets to a Minimum
Any Seven, Hardways, and Any Craps may look attractive with their big payouts, but they carry a massive house edge. Keep no more than 10% of your budget on these bets.
Set a Session Budget
