What is Crapless Craps
Crapless Craps, sometimes called Never Ever Craps or Bonus Craps, is a variant of the standard casino craps game. The rule change is simple: on the come-out roll, the numbers 2, 3, and 12 no longer make the Pass Line lose. Instead they become points like any other number. The only way a Pass Line bet ever loses is when a 7 rolls after a point has been set.
This sounds like a free lunch, but it is not. To pay for the removed come-out losses, the casino widens the Pass Line house edge. A traditional Pass Line bet carries a 1.41% house edge. The Crapless Craps Pass Line sits at 5.38%. Most players enjoy the variant for the no-loss come-out experience, but it should not replace a traditional table as a core strategy game.
How Crapless Craps differs from regular craps
The difference between Crapless Craps and regular craps comes down to a single rule: what happens to 2, 3, and 12 on the come-out roll.
In regular craps, rolling 2, 3, or 12 on the come-out is called "crapping out" - the Pass Line loses immediately and a new come-out begins. In Crapless Craps, those numbers do not resolve the Pass Line. They become points instead, exactly like rolling a 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10. The shooter continues rolling until they hit the point again or throw a 7.
| Come-out number | Regular craps | Crapless Craps |
|---|---|---|
| 7 | Pass Line wins | Pass Line wins |
| 11 | Pass Line wins | Pass Line wins |
| 2 | Pass Line loses (craps) | Becomes the point |
| 3 | Pass Line loses (craps) | Becomes the point |
| 12 | Pass Line loses (craps) | Becomes the point |
| 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10 | Becomes the point | Becomes the point |
The practical result: in Crapless Craps, you cannot lose on the come-out. The only losing roll is a 7 after a point has been set. This makes the game feel more forgiving for beginners, especially in electronic Bubble Craps settings where the pace is fast and watching your stack disappear on come-outs can be frustrating.
The trade-off is a higher base house edge on the Pass Line (5.38% vs 1.41%) and the removal of the Don't Pass bet, which would give a wrong-way bettor too much of an advantage in the Crapless rule set. Most Crapless tables also add dedicated place-bet boxes for 2, 3, 11, and 12 since those numbers are now points players can bet on directly.

Best bets in Crapless Craps
The house edge in Crapless Craps is higher than regular craps on most bets, but the bet ranking follows the same logic: line bets with Free Odds are best, Place 6 and 8 are the best side bets, and proposition bets are the worst.
- Pass Line with Maximum Free Odds - The Pass Line base edge is 5.38%, but adding Free Odds behind your bet reduces the combined house edge sharply. Odds bets pay true odds with zero house edge built in. At a 10x odds table, your combined edge drops near 1.0%. This is the best configuration in any Crapless game.
- Place 6 and Place 8 - These pay 7 to 6 and carry a 1.52% house edge, the same as in regular craps. The come-out rule change in Crapless does not affect Place bets. These are the best non-line bets on the table.
- Place 5 and Place 9 - 4.00% house edge, same as regular craps. Acceptable as action bets but well below Place 6/8.
- Place 2, 3, 11, 12 (Crapless-only) - These bets are unique to Crapless. Place 2 and Place 12 pay approximately 11 to 2, Place 3 and Place 11 pay approximately 11 to 4. Both carry house edges in the 6-7% range. They exist as novelty bets and for chasing the infrequent but high-payout points. Not recommended for disciplined play.
- Field bet - 5.56% house edge, same as regular craps. Covers 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11, 12. Fine for one roll of action, but not a sustained strategy bet.
- Any Seven / Proposition bets - Avoid. House edges of 11-17%. These bets drain bankrolls faster than any other category regardless of game variant.
The key strategic insight in Crapless Craps: because the Pass Line base edge is so much higher than regular craps, taking maximum odds becomes even more important. Without odds, you are playing at 5.38% all day. With 3x-5x odds, you bring that combined number well under 2%. The odds bet is free leverage - always take it.
Cryptographically secure dice in the Crapsee simulator
Most free craps games online use a standard pseudo-random number generator (PRNG) - a software algorithm that produces numbers that look random but are seeded from a predictable starting state. If you know the seed, you can predict every roll. That is fine for casual entertainment but it means the house edge and variance you experience may not match real casino math.
Crapsee uses the browser's Web Crypto API for every dice roll. This is the same cryptographic random number generator that secures online banking transactions, TLS certificate generation, and password hashing in your browser. It cannot be seeded by the application layer, cannot be predicted, and produces true statistical randomness that passes the same tests applied to real casino hardware.
What this means for practice:
- The distribution of roll outcomes over thousands of rolls matches the real mathematical probability of two six-sided dice.
- The variance you experience in the simulator matches the variance you will face at a live Crapless table.
- Strategies that win on Crapsee over many sessions will win at a real casino over many sessions. Strategies that lose here lose there too.
- No "hot dice" periods are engineered in. No "cool-down" algorithms run after big wins. The dice are honest.
The simulator runs entirely in the browser. Game state persists locally so you can close the tab and return later. No download, no real money, no account required for the traditional free table.
Crapless Craps rules at a glance
- Come-out roll: 2, 3, 11, and 12 are points. A 7 still pays even money.
- Point phase: Roll your point again to win the Pass Line. Roll a 7 first and you lose.
- Points: 2, 12: Paid at true odds of 6:1 when hit (instead of losing as in traditional craps).

- Points: 4, 10: Paid at 2:1 (same as traditional).
- Points: 5, 9: Paid at 3:2.
