How does multiplayer craps work?

Craps is usually a solo game against the table. Multiplayer keeps the rules exactly the same but puts a real opponent on the identical dice at the same time - so for once, 'the dice were against me' isn't an excuse.

Quick answer: Both players get the identical seeded dice sequence and $500 in free chips, then race on their own tables - first to double up to $1,000 wins. Since the dice are the same for both of you, the race is decided by betting, not luck. Create a room, share the link, and play - no account needed.

Same rolls, decided by betting

When both players ready up, the server deals one shared dice sequence to each of you simultaneously. Your roll 5 is their roll 5. Nobody gets hotter dice, so the win comes down to who bets smarter - which numbers you back, how hard you press, when you take odds. Racing is available on Craps, Crapless, New York, High Point, Simplified and Street Craps.

Creating and joining a room

Pick a game, create a room, and send the link or the short room code to a friend. They open it in any browser and join as a guest - no download, no signup. A live progress bar shows both bankrolls as the race unfolds, so you can watch a rival's stack climb in real time. Head to the multiplayer lobby to start one.

Winning, forfeits and rematches

The first player to grow $500 into $1,000 takes the race. If someone busts, disconnects or gives up mid-race, the other player wins by forfeit. One click starts a rematch with a fresh identical sequence in the same room - best of five is the house tradition. And since it's all free chips, the only thing at stake is bragging rights.
