RTG Craps, quick facts
RealTime Gaming built this RNG craps table years ago, and it still appears in RTG-powered casinos.
Our 2023 page recorded chips of $1, $5, $25 and $100 and a range of $1 to $1,000, and it mentioned Odds up to 3x. Casinos can configure limits, so treat those as the 2023 snapshot and check in game info.
The interface is plain, the help screen is complete. For craps, that is the right priority.
Rules that vary between tables
Three details change the maths from one craps game to the next: the Odds multiple, the Field payout on 2 and 12, and whether Buy commissions are charged on wins only. The help screen is where to find them. Read them once, then forget about them, because no other choice at the table matters as much.
The Odds bet, and why it changes everything
Once a point is set, you can add an Odds bet behind your Pass or Don't Pass bet. It pays at true odds, so it has no house edge.
The more Odds the table allows, the lower your combined edge. Here is what that looks like on Pass Line plus Odds:
| Odds allowed | Combined edge |
|---|---|
| None | 1.41% |
| 1x | 0.85% |
| 2x | 0.61% |
| 3x | 0.47% |
| 3-4-5x | 0.37% |
One honest caveat: Odds lower the edge per dollar wagered, but they raise the dollars on the table. A bigger bet with a smaller edge can still mean bigger swings. Size the Odds to your budget, not to the maximum.
Wait, one more detail. Odds on 6 and 8 pay 6:5, and some tables round small payouts down. Bet Odds in multiples of 5 on 6 and 8 to get paid in full. Small thing. Adds up.
Proposition bets compared
The centre of the felt is where the house makes its money.
| Bet | Pays | Chance per roll | House edge |
|---|---|---|---|
| Any 7 | 4:1 | 6 in 36 | 16.67% |
| Any Craps (2, 3, 12) | 7:1 | 4 in 36 | 11.11% |
| Yo (11) | 15:1 | 2 in 36 | 11.11% |
| Ace-Deuce (3) | 15:1 | 2 in 36 | 11.11% |
| Aces (2) or Boxcars (12) | 30:1 | 1 in 36 | 13.89% |
The Pass Line costs 1.41%. Any 7 costs nearly twelve times that. You do not need a strategy book for this one.
Hardways sit in between: Hard 6 or 8 at 9:1 is 9.09%, Hard 4 or 10 at 7:1 is 11.11%. Fun to watch, expensive to hold.
RNG table or live dealer?
RTG's table is RNG. Fast, private, low minimums.
Live craps puts a real table on your screen, with physical dice and a host. Same edge for the same bet and rules, slower rounds, usually higher minimums. In Canada it is hard to find: the live lobbies at the casinos we list run OnAir Entertainment or Pragmatic Play Live, and none named a craps table. Check on site.
A thought from the Tim Hortons line: RNG speed is both the appeal and the trap. Thirty rolls during a double-double is easy. Thirty rolls times a prop bet each time is how a C$50 session ends early.
Free RTG Craps demo
No more embedded demo here; the old one died years ago. Casinos that carry RTG games usually offer a "play for fun" version in the lobby, sometimes after login.
Practise the Odds bet in the demo. Watching the combined edge drop is easier to understand with chips on a screen than in a table.
Where to play craps in Canada
RTG is not among the studios named by the Québec-accessible casinos in our list, so we cannot promise this table at any of them. Search their table games first:
- Royal Vegas: Québec yes, Interac e-Transfer, live games from Pragmatic Play Live. Visit Royal Vegas
- Tooniebet: Québec yes, live dice category in its help centre (craps: check on site). Visit Tooniebet
Bonuses and craps rarely mix well, because table games often count for very little toward wagering. Ontario (19+) and Alberta (18+) have regulated provincial markets; use those. Help in Québec: Jeu : aide et référence, 1 800 461-0140. Our live casino page covers live tables in more depth.
