Unlike, say, Blackjack, which has tons of different variations, Craps hasn’t really seen the same levels of creativity. However, if you head to different countries you are likely to see different versions of the game - slightly. For example, at land-based casinos in Australia a Hardway bet will be paid out at a slightly higher rate than were you playing at a land-based casino in the US or the UK - and in turn that slightly reduces the house edge, so it’s more appealing to harcore players. Another interesting so-called variation is card-based Craps. In some countries and gambling jurisdictions, dice-based games are illegal - but card games aren’t. As a result of this, cards are drawn instead of the dice being rolled to determine the result of the game round - and there’s even a few land-based casinos that allow the players to choose the cards themselves. However, if you do see a Craps table that’s been run using playing cards make sure that you ask the croupiers about how the game works to make sure you understand whether there’s any table-specific rules that you may not be familiar with. The only other real type of Craps variation you’ll see in play today is the automated Craps tables. These are basically gaming terminals where players can sit and place their bets; the game has two large dice in a glass enclave, and once you place your bets and start the round you will see these dice roll. It’s the same game but it’s a way for the land-based casinos to reduce floor space and cut down on costs.
