Online
craps represents a new paradigm in gaming, and provides some interesting
possibilities for players in general. The same rules apply for online
craps though, and playing smart bets over dumb ones is something that
will never change. But this page should be a comparison of online
craps and casino craps, not a lesson. To find out more about playing
check out our strategy page.
Online craps can be quite a different experience than casino craps,
but not necessarily a less fun one. In fact, it could quite possibly
be considered a more intelligent decision to play online. Craps is
notorious for being an uproarious game, and with all of that hooting
and hollering comes a fairly healthy dose of distraction. Couple that
with the fact that craps is a game where money moves fast, both towards
you and away from you, and you have a whole heap of trouble on your
hands. Playing online craps on the other hand, lets you take some
of these variables into your control.
For starters lets take a look at the environment. The craps environment
in a casino is built upon having a little party around the table.
See with craps, unlike most if not all other casino games, you get
to play along with the other players at the table. When one person
wins, everyone making that bet also wins. So you get some camaraderie
and some feeling of being on a team, or being at a party. For a lot
of people this is the essence of craps, but for others the essence
is to make money. For those folks, online craps may be your best bet.
Online craps games have a little way to go yet before they can simulate
the craziness of a real casino, but we can treat this as a good thing.
At home you get to control your own environment. You only drink if
you want to (sure the choice is yours in a casino too, but with free
drinks being offered and brought to you it’s often harder to say no),
you don’t have lots of gorgeous women with low cut tops all over you
offering alcohol (unless you’re a luckier man than I). My point of
course is that while the casinos distract you, online craps can’t
do the same. Your sitting down (you can’t sit down at a casino craps
table unless your disabled or have more money than the casino itself)
in your most comfortable chair, with a nice refreshing drink, perhaps
some relaxing or uplifting music. You get to choose. You get to play
the game that is surrounded with distraction, in the most calm serene
environment imaginable. Now * that’s * what I call an advantage.
To fully understand this inherent advantage of online craps you probably
have to try it out for yourself. If you’ve never played craps in the
casino before it’s not a bad idea to have your first experience online,
as the intimidation factor isn’t quite so intense. So try it! Sit
down and step up to the table! I don’t have much to say about where
you should gamble online, but I do know that most online casinos offer
a free version of craps. All I’ll do is recommend a non-biased gambling
portal (www.gambling-info.net)
that can give you some options for places to try out.
