Bubble Craps Guide 2026: How to Play, Bets Explained, and Best Casinos
Bubble Craps is an electronic version of traditional craps where dice are tumbled inside a clear bubble dome by an air jet, replacing the physical dice throw. Online craps uses RNG to determine outcomes. The game follows the same rules and bet types as live craps — making it an excellent way to learn the game.
How Craps Works
Craps is played in rounds. A new round begins with the Come Out roll:
- Roll 7 or 11 on Come Out → Pass Line wins; Don't Pass loses
- Roll 2, 3, or 12 (Craps) on Come Out → Pass Line loses; Don't Pass wins (12 pushes)
- Roll 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10 → That number becomes the Point
Once a Point is established, rolling continues until the Point number hits (Pass Line wins) or a 7 hits (Pass Line loses — called a Seven Out).
Best Craps Bets
- Pass Line — House edge 1.41%. One of the best bets in the casino.
- Don't Pass Line — House edge 1.36%. Marginally better than Pass Line.
- Odds Bet — Zero house edge! Taken after a Point is established. Maximum odds multipliers vary by casino (1x-100x).
- Come Bet — Same as Pass Line but placed after a Point is set.
- Place 6 or 8 — House edge 1.52%. Reasonable second-tier bets.
Craps Bets to Avoid
Proposition bets (Hardways, Any Seven, Any Craps, Horn Bets) all have house edges of 9-16%. The Field Bet averages around 5.5% house edge. Stick to Pass/Don't Pass with maximum Odds for the lowest house edge in craps.
