What to watch for when playing Craps online

Some of the online casino games that people play are more easily adapted from their traditional table top venues to the online world than others.  In these cases players have to be extra careful when choosing to play a game that they might love playing in a real casino, but that might not be necessarily as good in an online environment.
Many traditional card games, like Poker and Blackjack, lend themselves easily to the online world and it is easy for programmers to design games that replicate game play rather well.  Other games, however, can be so delicate to replicate and so full of variation that designing a truly good replication of the game can be very difficult.  With today’s advances in gaming programs, software, algorithms, and the like it can most certainly be done but is it done every time?  Can great gaming, say in the game of Craps, be found anywhere on the Internet whenever a player chooses that they want to play?

Craps has a lot of things going on during any particular game.  Aside from the fact that there are a multitude of betting options for players to choose, which makes this game so much fun, there is the issue of the rolling of the dice, etc…  It is this issue alone that can cause some trepidation to the Craps game designer.  A random number generator can easily cause random numbers to be spit out from the virtual dice and this is exactly what generally happens.  All of this is fine, but on the other hand, there are entire gambling systems that teach players how to roll the dice for maximum effect.  This is not to say that players are taught to cheat.  That is another topic altogether.  There are those that teach players how to shave dice a certain way, how to weight the dice so that it spins, etc…  These methods are very tricky at best and in today’s brick and mortar casinos this is a method for instant disaster.  But there are legitimate methods on rolling dice that do allow a player to have some control over how the dice rolls on a particular surface.  Obviously, this isn’t the case in the online gaming world.  If dice rolling is a player’s forte they may want to consider sticking to live tables, or just coming to the realization that they will in no way be able to control the dice on the table.  In reality this may very well be the best option.  What is fairer than that?

Also, when playing Craps online players are aided by the gaming program itself.  This is considerably useful when a player is just beginning but can be annoying if a player is skilled in advanced Craps techniques and the gaming program doesn’t allow for those techniques to be utilized.  This is true of most online games but it can be particularly difficult if the game is as intricate as Craps can be.

Craps, as in all online casino games, can be found in varying forms from the excellent to the horrific.  If a player knows what they are looking for they can find themselves a winner.
