Best Craps Websites

NextShooter.com - The site is written by a Las Vegas craps dealer. Their advertising policy is stated clearly in the first paragraph on the page too - no pop-ups and no flashing banners. Not only does the site include accurate information about every single craps bet you can make, but it also includes a directory of Vegas craps casinos that gives details for the playing conditions at each of the casinos there. (Next Shooter also includes an "other cities" guide which covers craps conditions all over the world, including England.) Next Shooter is my top craps pick.

Wikipedia Craps - The Wikipedia is a volunteer edited encyclopedia. (You've probably heard of it.) What's great about the craps page in the Wikipedia is that it manages to cover an enormous amount of information related to the game of craps in just one easy-to-navigate page with no advertising. The article includes an overview of the game, a look at the different bets available, the odds and house edge for various bets, and a brief overview of some of the various "systems" for winning at craps.

The Wizard of Odds - The thing about Michael Shackleford's website is that it is almost always the best place to find accurate information about a particular casino game. His craps guide is no exception to this rule of thumb. His explanations are clear, accurate, easy-to-read, and almost ad-free. (He currently has a single sponsor for the site, and their advertising is subtle and tasteful.)

rec.gambling.craps FAQ - This is possibly one of the most plain-vanilla, boring looking webpages you'll ever find. But if you're looking for information about craps in an FAQ format, then you will find it here. No advertising at all, just straightforward information and answers about the game of craps.

Vegas Reference - I almost didn't include this site, because it's owned and operated by Michael Bluejay, who does the webmastering work for the Wizard of Odds, who is listed above. But it's impossible not to include it in a list of the best craps sites on the Internet, because it's just so damn well-written. And by golly, it's a pretty page, too, with easy-to-read sections set off with just the right amounts of colors. One of the other things I liked about Bluejay's craps page is his explanation of why craps is such a great game. (He starts the article by explaining that sometimes the house edge on craps is 0.2%, which is almost as good as a coin toss - a great way of putting it in perspective.) In other words, even though Bluejay and Shackleford work together on the Wizard site, Bluejay's own section on craps is an excellent quality resource in its own right. And his parody of craps instructions is laugh out loud funny.

Craps Pit - I really like the design and layout of this website. I think a lot of craps enthusiasts are adrenaline junkies, which doesn't always translate into good web design. This site is exceptionally clean and easy to read, and has lots of specific information. He does share some craps systems that I thought were interesting, but he doesn't make a lot of outlandish claims regarding his systems and strategies either.

Craps Fan - This is a domain name I used to own, and I know the webmaster I sold it to. He does solid work, and his content is always well-written and readable. One of the nice things about this site is that it doesn't contain a lot of advertising. (Most gambling websites are covered in really intrusive banner advertising.)

Play Craps - A buddy of mine owns this website. I'm particularly fond of the design, which is different from most sites. It's somehow colorful without being garish. A lot of the information is pretty basic, but it's a nice introduction to the game, especially for a beginner. Check it out.

Why This Page?

Most gambling topics have multiple websites devoted to them, and craps is no different. Unfortunately, the gambling industry is filled with sites whose only goal is to get some of your money. (This site would like to make money too, but our goal is two-fold; we want to get money from advertising on our site but we also want to share high quality information with our visitors.) What most gambling topics need, including and especially craps, are directories of the very best websites.

That's what this page is intended to be - a listing of the best craps websites on the Internet. There might be other good craps sites online, but these are the best of the best. I've reviewed each of the websites listed below for high quality, accurate content, pleasant design, and reasonable advertising. (I don't care how good a website is; if the design includes excessive advertising, the user experience suffers.)
