Abstract
The game of craps is modified to allow a player to make an HARD WAY CRAPS bet instead of the standard ODDS bet. The HARD WAY CRAPS bet is available whenever a point number of 4, 6, 8, or 10 has been rolled and the player has a PASS line or COME line wager. If the point is 6 or 8, the HARD WAY CRAPS bet would pay two-to-one odds if the point is made with a 3,3 or 4,4 and would pay one-to-one odds if the point is made with any other roll. If the point is 4 or 10, the HARD WAY CRAPS bet would be pay four-to-one odds if the point is made with a 2,2 or 5,5 and would pay one-to-one odds if the point is made with any other roll. A corollary wager is offered for the DON'T PASS line or the DON'T COME line.
