Pass
Line — Also known
as the Front Line, a Pass
Line bet wagers that the shooter
will roll the Point before
a 7. To qualify, you must
place your Pass Line bet before
the Come Out roll. (The dealer
will announce "Place
your bets for the Come Out
roll." to let you know
when you can make a Pass Line
bet.) A natural Come Out roll
(i.e. a 7 or an 11) is an
immediate winner for the Pass
Line bet. If the Come Out
roll craps out (with a 2,
3 or 12) the Pass Line loses.
Any other Come Out result
(4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10) becomes
the Point, and a puck labeled
ON is positioned above the
corresponding numbered column
to indicate that the Point
has been established. When
the Puck is ON, Pass Line
bets win if that Point is
rolled and lose if a 7 is
rolled. Winning bets pay 1-to-1.
Unresolved Pass Line bets
may not be modified or removed;
they are committed until the
end of the round. Once the
Point is established, only
another roll of the Point
or a roll of 7 can end the
round. When the puck is flipped
to OFF and moved back to the
upper left-hand corner of
the table, you know the round
has ended and the next roll
will be a Come Out roll.
