Introduction & Game Phases
Craps Live by Evolution Gaming alternates between two phases indicated by the puck (ON/OFF).
Come Out Roll (Puck OFF)
Initial roll. Pass Line bets win on 7 or 11; lose on 2, 3, or 12. Don't Pass bets win on 2 or 3; 12 is a push. Any other total (4,5,6,8,9,10) becomes the Point.
Point Roll (Puck ON)
Goal shifts to hitting the Point number before a 7 appears. Come and Don't Come bets can be placed. Phase ends when the Point repeats or a 7 rolls.
Evolution Interface Tools
My Numbers panel shows potential wins/losses per dice total. Auto Turn Off Bets freezes Place/Hardways bets during Come Out rolls. Odds Bet indicators light up when Odds can be added.
Pass Line & Don't Pass
Pass Line (1.41% house edge): Bet with the shooter. Wins on 7/11 on Come Out; loses on 2/3/12. During Point phase, wins if Point repeats before 7.
Don't Pass (1.36% house edge): Bet against the shooter. Wins on 2/3 on Come Out; 12 is a push. During Point phase, wins if 7 rolls before the Point repeats. Slightly better edge than Pass Line due to the 12 push.
Odds Bets: Zero House Edge
Odds bets have zero house edge. After the Point is established, you can add Odds behind your Pass/Don't Pass bet. These bets pay at true odds. Evolution allows 1x Odds (equal to your original bet). Adding maximum Odds is always correct -- it is the only bet in the casino with no house edge.
| Point Number | Pass Line Odds Payout | Don't Pass Lay Odds Payout |
|---|---|---|
| 4 or 10 | 2:1 | 1:2 |
| 5 or 9 | 3:2 | 2:3 |
| 6 or 8 | 6:5 | 5:6 |
3 Point Molly & 3 Point Dolly
3 Point Molly (with the shooter): Place Pass Line on Come Out. After Point is set, place two Come bets with max Odds each. When a Come bet wins, immediately replace it -- maintain three active Points. Evolution's "Keep Winning Bets" feature automates this. Disable it during cold streaks.
3 Point Dolly (against the shooter): Place Don't Pass on Come Out. After Point is set, place two Don't Come bets with Lay Odds. If a 7 rolls before any Point repeats, all active Don't bets win. Use Evolution's "Turn Off Bets" to pause Place bets when multiple Don't Come positions are active.

Verdict
Evolution Craps does not match land-based casino conditions. Physical craps tables commonly offer 2x, 3x, or even 100x Odds -- Evolution offers 1x. The gap matters: 1x Odds blended RTP is 98.89% vs 99.53% at 10x Odds. If you have access to a physical casino craps table with better Odds multiples, that is the better game. What Evolution Craps does offer: a $0.50 minimum bet on a high-stakes format, suitable for learning the game or playing on a strict budget.
