Craps Table Game Review
Craps  

Craps is arguably the most difficult game to emulate in the online world. This is because while all of the parameters of the game could be easily recreated, what can not be easily recreated is the atmosphere that exists around a craps table. When you go to a real casino and look at the craps table, you are likely to see people laughing, clapping, shouting and patting each other on the back after a particularly good roll has resulted in them winning some money.
Craps is by far the most social game that exists in the casino (aside from possibly poker, although that game is not played against the house) and this social atmosphere is extremely difficult to recreate online.

While most online craps games are not able to create this atmosphere, at the same time there are many advantages to the online version of craps that make players warm up to the game after a relatively short amount of time. One of the things that make players warm up to the craps game is the fact that craps offline can be very complicated and knowing where and when to place bets can be difficult to do. Most online craps games however have helpful text that can be brought up in between games to help you decide where and when to bet and even if this is not possible there is no time limit between rolls, so you can actually consult a piece of paper sitting right next to you in order to decide what to do before you go ahead and make the next roll.

Therefore, the online version of the craps game is definitely a trade-off between social value and ease of usage of the game. Another thing that makes the online version of the game worthwhile is the fact that you can change bet sizes to practically any amount that you want. Playtech craps games for example have $0.01 increments in some cases so that you can actually bet in increments of pennies while you are getting used to the game. Changing the amount that you want to bet per hand is as easy as the click of a mouse and does not require the use of physical chips that are both limiting in the quantities that can be bet as well as bulky for handling quite frequently.

In conclusion, the online craps game is quite good for players that enjoy the technical side of craps, although players that are interested in craps for its social aspects might find the online game somewhat lacking.
