GAME RULES VIDEO

TO THE GAME HOST:

Thank you for purchasing the Craps Mat Home Party Game. You should strongly consider ditching the casino’s adjusted odds format for an evening—and host a True Odds Party Game. 

True Odds uses fewer physical chips by eliminating fractional payouts and complicated bet structures, keeping the table cleaner and the game moving.

This simplicity means:
• Each player deals one hand per round
• You’re not stuck dealing all night
• You get to play along with everyone else
• Place bets are easy to pay
• Prop bets are easy to pay
And yes—this is totally manageable, even with a cocktail or three - or whatever!  :)

Casino craps is a blast… until you try dealing it at home after a few drinks. That’s where True Odds Craps saves the day. The rules are so simple, even after three shots and a “special” brownie, you’ll still know what’s going on.

Each player takes a turn dealing—and watching it unfold is pure gold.

Super simple Prop bets

Fire up the grill, grab some friends, and let the dice fly.

Because the only thing better than winning… is watching your buddy explain why he didn’t.

I replaced the traditional DONT PASS with the term players actually use when talking about the bet — The Dark Side.
This change is meant to grab the attention of beginners and make the option feel more approachable—even a little fun. It sparks curiosity right away… “What on earth is that?”
can encourage just a few players to step over to the Dark Side, it helps balance the game, keeps chips in circulation in banked games, improves the overall experience—without changing any rules or payouts.

Let’s be honest… beginners are often intimidated by “DON’T PASS BAR 12.”

“Don’t” feels negative. Confusing.

“The Dark Side” creates curiosity, identity, and a little fun.

That’s a hook—not just a label.

At the end of the day, this is about chip inventory and game balance.
​
And if it happens to catch the eye of someone searching for a home party game… even better.
I ask people to think outside the box when it comes to party games--
so I should be doing the same.
