Stake Craps
Two dice, a long table, more bet types than any other casino game. Stake offers both RNG and live craps. The math is heavy but the rhythm is famous.
Craps belongs to the live tables side of the Stake game selection, alongside Live Blackjack, Baccarat and Roulette.
Craps has the widest bet menu in live casino. Pass / Don't Pass carry the lowest house edge; the proposition bets in the middle of the layout are higher-variance entertainment.
The come-out roll, in plain language
The shooter rolls the dice. A 7 or 11 wins your Pass Line bet immediately. A 2, 3 or 12 loses it. Any other number becomes the "point." From there, the shooter keeps rolling — you win Pass Line if they hit the point again before rolling a 7, lose if 7 comes first. That's the whole spine of the game; everything else is a side bet.

Live craps vs RNG
Live craps is uncommon — Evolution offers it but at limited hours. RNG craps runs whenever. For Canadian players new to the game, RNG lets you build muscle memory at your own pace. Switch to live once you can place Pass + Free Odds without thinking.
Where craps fits
If craps is your speed you'll likely enjoy baccarat for its similar edge profile and faster pacing. Roulette matches the multi-bet board layout. The Stake casino games hub covers the rest.
