Be smart, play smart, learn how to play casino craps the right way!

Any Craps is a one-roll bet that wins if a craps (i.e., 2, 3, or 12) shows on the next roll, and loses if any other number shows. The minimum bet amount is the value of the lowest-denomination chip in play, usually $1. The payoff is 7:1, so you can bet any amount to get the full payoff odds.

The Any Craps box is located in the center of the table and typically controlled by the stickman, so keep your hands off. When you have the stickman's attention, gently toss your chips to an open area near the center of the table and say, "Any Craps, please." Aim for an empty spot so your chip doesn't mess up other chips on the table.

Depending on the casino, the layout may have a box in the proposition area (i.e., center of the table) labeled "Any Craps," or 16 small circles next to the proposition area, each containing the letter "C," or both. The dealer places your Any Craps bet either in the box or in one of the little "C" circles. You might think, "Why are there 16 little Any Craps circles but only one Any Craps box?" Good question, but like everything else in craps, the answer is easy. The Any Craps box is big enough to hold all bets if everyone at the table makes the bet at the same time, but the little "C" circles are only big enough to hold one bet. Eight players can play on each side of the table. So, there are eight circles for eight players on each side of the table. If the casino's layout uses little circles instead of an Any Craps box, the dealer places your Any Craps bet in the little circle that corresponds to your table position.

The Any Craps bet is sometimes called "Crap Check" when it's used to hedge the Flat Pass Line bet. For example, if a player makes a Flat $10 Pass Line bet, he might toss in a $1 chip for a Crap Check to "protect" the Pass Line bet on the come-out roll. On the come-out, if the shooter rolls a craps, the player loses his $10 Flat Pass Line bet, but wins $7 for his Crap Check.
