How to Play Craps on a Crusie

[@billboy52]

Craps has long been my game of choice. I always play when I’m on board even though every cruise line I’ve been on limit odds bets to 2x. I always tell new players who want to play on a cruise to take advantage of of the free lessons that are offered usually on day 1 or 2 of the cruise. There are two key components of playing craps that the beginning player needs to know before playing live craps. You must know the payouts and you MUST know the etiquette. Practicing on line and learning the etiquette are the best ways to get started. The dealers are always happy to help but it’s always best to approach them when the table is not busy. Never walk up to a busy table and expect the dealers to teach you how to play. A craps table develops a rhythm and you don’t want to be That Guy that breaks the rhythm or commits a table no-no ( the reason to learn the etiquette before you ever play ) that pisses everyone at the table off ! Tony is spot on when he recommends the Color Up KZbin channel. No better place to get started! Cruise on!

Thank you so much. Advice well taken and appreciated

[@mattstowell1856]

thanks guys! great video! I love being a part of the Color Up Community!

[@smokeytraveler]

Tony I’m really enjoying the way you are bring content to the show (towel animal cameos, craps). It’s keeping things fresh. Craps is my favorite game to play. Living here in Nevada it’s hard not to put a few bucks down on a table and enjoy the evening. Color up is a great channel to get info on playing. Thanks for the entertainment.

[@harlanabraham7772]

Color Up is on, you picked a good person to show you what to do. You could take a lesson on how to play craps on the ship. Am subscribed and hit the like button. Am subscribed to Color Up as well. Dealers will help a beginning player get started.

[@ColorUp]

Hey Tony, thanks for sharing and the shoutout! Looking forward to our interview together. Meanwhile really paying close attention to all the cruise industry updates your sending out.

[@LaLidoLoca]

Thanks! Appreciate the collab! Let me know when on the interview.

[@Pjeguns]

One bet you forgot to mention is the dealer bet. Please tip your dealers.

Thanks Tony for putting Craps in the spot light. Definitely nice to see. 👍

[@KarynHill]

I don't enjoy gambling but I've been curious about craps. I was glad to see this topic come up on your channel!

[@markhovis4]

Thanks for my 2nd craps lesson. The first went like this...Walk up to goons at table. Ask how to play. Told to drop $5 on the table...Goon behind table slides $5 with a stick to him and pokes bill through slot in table... Uses stick to slide chip back to me....Goon #1 says "put it on the pass line"....I did... Goon #2 says throw dice all the way to the end... I did ... Not sure what I rolled but the guy with the stick took my chip back. Goon #1 says "wanna play again?" I said "Nah" and walked back to my slot machine. Your lesson was better.

[@margoanchorage883]

Thank you so much Tony! Don't stop posting things like this!

[@seabasspodcast5052]

What a nice surprise to see Color Up on my scroll tonight. Good content on both channels.

[@PotrovNivanski]

Usually I am not interested in casino games, but this got me interested! Well done!

[@paulschaeffer3313]

Amazingly, this was on my list of things to learn before going on my next cruise in 12 days...perfect timing! Thanks

[@CUTravel1st]

What trip we have one about that time out of Long Beach

[@jimcartwright4379]

I am a Color Up club subscriber and Color Up club member. I really like your video. I’m going to subscribe to your channel. We’re going on a cruise during spring break on the anthem of the seas. I’m sure some of your videos will be very helpful to us. Keep up the great content!

[@joentexas]

I have watched several Colorup videos and this guy has very good presentation. I've been playing craps for over 30 years and Jeremy gives the best beginners explanation. Of coarse you do learn fast once your money is on the line. Good collaborate Tony. Have a good trip home.

[@Cloud7Travel]

I learned craps a number of years ago but really haven't played much. Been watching more craos related videos recently which have ignited the desire to play again. Never played craps on a cruise before. Next time I'm on a cruise, I will give it a go.

[@xXxSapphir3xXx]

Omg this was awesome! Thank you! We've always wanted to know how to play!

[@angelap9142]

Yay!! We love the Casino on the Cruise Ship. Love your informative videos.👍🏼😁🇨🇦

[@allenfidler5161]

Thanks for doing this video I've been wanting to learn craps forever.

[@johndantzman3935]

Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing the video about playing craps. Yes, it all makes sense now. At least I won't be totally lost if and when I play.

[@paulvasquez4351]

The first time I played craps, my friend was playing. I asked her how she knew what to do and she said "just bet the same as someone else who is winning. That strategy works, but you have to be quick to keep up. Craps is one of my favorite table games! You can play for hours on a small startup!

[@vertrenceterrell3777]

Thanks Tony for the insight now I will comfortable looking in on a game.

[@andreatemple6888]

Tony it was cool meeting you this week up on the pool deck of the Harmony. Been watching your videos for a while and was surprised to actually run into you. Thanks for the entertainment, Damon and Andrea

[@spencerstubbs9585]

Awesome information Tony, thank you for taking the time to help us out.

[@brendaescalon2175]

Love this video. I love to play craps, learned how to play this years ago. Very intense game and you are correct, if a newbie is at a table, we will gladly teach anyone how to play it. The one NO NO rule is NO HANDS ON THE TABLE.

[@twaunniebusse7262]

Although Craps is not my thing I think that it is nice of you that you posted this introductory video for cruisers so that they can learn how to play and enjoy this game on their cruise.

[@chrisandstephanieashley3510]

Good morning. Quick update. Just got off Brilliance yesterday in Tampa. Fantastic cruise from staff to safety to food to entertainment. One night our headliner was Finis Henderson - wow!! Felt extremely safe onboard. Next cruise Oasis on Feb 27. Now, what to do with myself for 5 weeks. 😉

[@heideleskun1163]

I've been saving the video's from Color Up thanks to you!

[@debbiechristy9960]

Thanks for including this craps tutorial - it was very informative and easy to follow!! I have watched my boyfriend play for many, many years and know/understand a fair amount about the game but I appreciate this video as it is a step by step explanation for each field in succession. Appreciate the edu-ma-cation!

[@maryphillips5863]

Thank you for the video. I keep saying I'm going to try Craps, in 2 weeks I'll be back on board and this time I will! BTW, you can put your Sail & Sign card (Carnival) in a slot machine, set up an account, charge to your room, cash out, collect money at the casino desk and (Tada!) NO FEE.

Funny, I was thinking of adking you for a craps video. Enjoyed it. Thanks! Time to test the fates!

[@teresah5318]

Craps was my dad's game. Mine was/is roulette. Thanks for having Jermey cover the basics of craps. I just might try it on my next cruise. Thanks again!!

[@VITRAVELINGTHEWORLD]

Thank You for showing this

[@mhtyler]

Really appreciate the craps tutorial. I'm joining Color Up. I was a card counter in my day, but don't know other games well. I like Craps though because it has the best odds of all independent trials games (except for European roulette...thank you bugsy segal for screwing the american version with double zero).

[@KathyL4444]

I am going to watch this video several times. I'm really trying to learn craps. I am going to Color Up with Jeremy as well. Going Ka-ruising in eight days. Have to learn quick.

[@barbaracheal5402]

I love craps. Came off norwegian putting 900 on came away 6000. We had a great group. Maybe one day Tony we will roll together. Lol. Enjoy the rest of your cruise

[@pete0205]

Great video as always. In my experience the Casino may open at noon but the craps table usually doesn't open till 7PM or after....even if they only have 1 side open it takes 3 crew to run the game where other table games only require 1. Like to play after dinner till show time, watch the show then come back and test the fates for a second time. So looking forward to our first cruise out of Port Canaveral 28 FEB and then our second out of Port Everglades 07 MAR! Haven't been out since 2019....fingers crossed there are no cancellations and we stay covid free.

Love this vid. I would love to play craps but I’m not much of a gambler. I also hate to slow the game down by not knowing enough to really play the game. I will now give it a try, (craps), on our next cruise which will be early April on the Harmony. Thanks T

[@janajeffsilvernickelladventure]

Thank You Tony!! Looks like fun!!

[@DanGonzalesDenver]

Nicely done cross promo, I gave it a watch!

[@tripstracka1643]

Wow! Great collaborative video. I've always shied away from the craps table because I thought it was too confusing. This gives me a little more confidence to give it a go. Hope is was a good cruise.

[@Mlgraham22]

Really enjoyed this episode. I play black jack and roulette on occasion but I always found the craps table too intimidating to even try. Now, I have some basics to give it a go. Thanks!

[@robertewalt7789]

I find craps at sea is less intimidating than on land.

[@jilldej7937]

Thanks Tony! This is very timely for me as I like the casino, but get tired of playing slots and I'm horrible at blackjack. I'm going on the NCL Bliss at the end of February and I think I'll try my luck and test the fates at the craps table after a few views of this video. Wish me luck!

[@homedreamteam9770]

Thanks for the inspiration and instructions! I played craps for the first time on the Bliss and had a great time. Mostly up and then in the end broke even. Great cost of education. I'll try again tonight. :-)

[@TomandSandyTaylor]

Good info I’m not much of a gambler but craps looks like it would be fun to learn Safe travels home

[@eleanor4482]

Thanks for the lesson. Appreciate it. Something to try on my next cruise.😎

[@toccoa]

TYVM! What are the odds (as in the true-payout follow-up bet) you are allowed to bet? Is it the same for each cruise line? I'm sure they are not The Cromwell's 100x but are they all 3-4-5 or even worse?

[@mrjc12]

First cruise in Nov/2022………. should I do slot machines? Any tips or can you makes a video 😁 Gracias !

[@chriswood5510]

I am a blackjack guy. Thanks for the craps tutorial. I have always wanted to learn.

[@TheRecon1a]

Tony what up dawg! Glad to see this vid. I have played craps off and on for like forever well since I was 21 so over 30 years. But I never really learned the basics. I just bet the field which seemed the best betting odds. I don't play a lot of craps on the ship I stick to roulette but going gambling next weekend in Oklahoma and will have a renewed knowledge before We go cruise in 90 days. This will help me be a bit more confident at craps on the ship and on land. Can you elaborate in a video on the casino perks programs if you have some knowledge on the subject? I heard there sre some sweet cruise deals involved with joining those programs.

[@willygriffith838]

Great video hope one day you guys to do a cruise On a cruise ship I normally bet they don’t pass. The reason why is that the shepherds moving back-and-forth and the table is rockin. Also I watched average Guy crap And Bubble crap tracker

[@Ednabug]

This entire video was confusing, yet interesting at the same time. I’ve never played craps because it’s so past by capacity of understanding, lol. I may have to just try it on my next cruise.

[@richardw2977]

Gotta roll them bones! Craps is some of the most fun I've had on a ship. The best part is that the minimum bet is typically lower than most land casinos. So in other words, you can still have a blast and be involved with less risk. We had to cancel our Feb cruise. 😩 Can't wait till I can get back in the game. Common Big Red!!

[@harrismagoonstunes107]

Thank you for this video! Can you please tell me what are the expectations and convention for tipping on craps?

[@LaLidoLoca]

You can hand in a tip after a win, what I like to do is place a bet for the dealers. A couple times on this cruise I made a $5 bet on the 11 and it hit. The dealers got $80 bucks each time.

[@jimklemens5018]

You should tip $5 immediately when you start playing. Tell the dealer to put it in their toke box. Every 20 minutes, the dealers will change positions on the table. Tip another $5. If you have get a hot roll and win a bunch, tip $50 to $100. When you are done playing, tip another $50 to $100.

[@vjones41]

WOW! To much for my brain. Very good introduction to Craps.👍🏾

[@TIFFandDRETV]

Well done. Thanks Tony.

[@conniejohnson9393]

Tony, what seems to be the normal minimum bet on ships? I think I would like to try craps, but don't want to have to have a big bank roll to try it out. Also if you lose every bet how long would say $50. last?

[@Craps71124]

Most times....the "house" will only tell you starting out to bet the pass line. The advantage is in the houses favor even more once the points established. Thats why you cant take a pass line bet up once the points been established..it becomes a "contract" bet. Yet you can place a Dont pass before the points established and once it is...either pick it up or move it to the pass....they wont ever tell you this. I typically play a pretty easy system of 100 on the dont and either a 91 uptown or downtown depending on the point. If you dodge the 7 or 11 on the come out typically you make money even when the 7 falls right after the points made. Stay away from all center action...or prop bets unless ypure up and just want higher odds....such as hardways at 7 or 9 to 1.

[@ericchristensen7959]

As you Love Craps. Carnival Sunrise offered 5$ table as of 1/6/23, which is nice, lasts longer. Just remember pizza after Casino😏

[@JackMoynihan16]

We are loving the cruise updates, Tony. Wondering if you could do an update on the RCL Alaskan cruises out of Vancouver, B.C. and all the Covid testing requirements. We have a cruise in May but all these protocols are confusing. Especially since we are staying at an Airbnb for 4 days prior to the cruise. Thanks in advance.

[@stevereynolds3401]

Tony do cruise ships have Don’t Pass / Don’t Come options?

[@dorisrose15]

Great video!!

[@davis9971]

Thanks, Tony!

[@rachelfrank8647]

Very cool. I'm not a gambler, but found the instructions interesting. Remembering numbers isn't something that I'm good at.

[@mikethompson3710]

To start with if I was on that ship and ended up in Bimini and had a flight out of Miami (or pick your s.e. Florida airport here) that was any kind of tight I would be royally XXXXXX off!! It does sound like they are going to have to cease operations so customer loyalty probably isn't uppermost in their minds but still... it might make me swear off cruising if I wasn't such a confirmed die-hard. Great intro to Craps. I'm a Craps player... that's it. Oh, I'll play a slot machine on occasion and a slot at the MGM Grand in Vegas gave me one of my best winning days. After dropping $200 on the Craps table in about 10 minutes I thought "That's it for today." I was headed out and I swear that slot machine called my name when I walked by. I stuck in a $20 and on the LAST pull I hit a Royal Flush with a payoff of a grand. So I dropped $220 and walked out $780 ahead. If I could do that every day...

I don't play craps but I watched the video as it was very informative. The videos don't always have to be about cruising they can be about various happenings on the ships.

when we play slots on the cruise the points are added automatically by the slot machine. how does it work when playing craps? in the past just give my card to the boxperson and that's it. how are my points calculated? thanks for any insight.

[@4Vinny4]

Thanks for this!

[@mecchie]

Made it a mission a few years ago to learn craps for a cruise. Spent almost 6 months on an online simulation game, and watching videos. Ended up with a wrong side betting strategy, that won 75% of time on the simulation. Turns out that it didn't win on the cruise ship...and even worse...no one at the table liked when they lost and I won.🤪. Next time I just play with table...

[@karenjordan5731]

I watched this 3 times. I think I got it! Looks like a really fun game. A little confused on the COME bets, but hubby is going to explain more. He plays Poker and Craps. I have always been a Black Jack and Slots player. I like when all the bells and whistles go off. He is a finance guy. But I am digging Craps! 👍👌

[@LaLidoLoca]

Come works just like the pass line but you only bet it when the button is on. That how I play, pass and 2 come bets.

[@lauraweis]

JUST GOT OFF LIBERTY AND THOUGHT ID THROW THIS OUT TO YOU. MY HUSBAND CAME DOWN WITH COVID ON SHIP. HAD AN EXCURSION WEDNESDAY AND HE GOT TESTED ON THURSDAY. AN HOUR LATER HE GOT THE CALL HE WAS POSITIVE. I DIDN'T GET TESTED UNTIL THE FOLLOWING DAY AT AROUND 11 AND FOUND OUT I WAS NEGATIVE. I STILL HAD TO QUARANTINE FOR 24 HOURS FROM WEDNESDAY 8 AM TO THURSDAY AT NOON. THEN I WAS FREE TO LEAVE THE ROOM. SO I THOUGHT ID MENTION THAT 34 PEOPLE OUT OF 1600 PASSENGERS WHICH IS OVER 2 PERCENT OF TOTAL PASSENGERS.
