The Bottom Line

Many players are intimidated by the game of craps because they think thatit is difficult to learn. This application will show you how easy the game can be. After playing a few games on your 1Phone you will know enough to play for real at the casino.

Guide Review - Aw Craps IPhone Application by 24x7 Digital

Aw Craps was designed to simulate a real craps game and I feel that the designers achieved their goal. Before you play the game you should take the “Guided Tour” that will show you how to place your bets and roll the dice. The tutorial will also show you the odds for the different bets and explains how to access the help menus when you play. If you have any questions about a bet, all you have to do is tap the screen on area of the layout with that bet. For example: If you tap on the pass line the help screen will pop up telling you that you can only make this bet during the come out roll.

When you play the game, you start by making a pass line bet. Then you tap the dice on the screen and they will move down to the area in front of you to simulate the dealer pushing you the dice as they would in a real craps game. You then flick your finger on the screen to roll the dice. You can make place bets at any time during the game. You are not required to have a pass line bet to roll the dice. This is how you would simulate betting on a shooter other than yourself. My only complaint with the program is the fact that since you should make place bets on the 6 and 8 in six dollar increments, it does not do this for you automatically when you place the numbers. You have to make a five dollar bet and then make an additional one dollar bet. Hopefully they will fix this in a future update.

There is an option in the settings that will allow you to manually roll the dice which means you can choose the number that the dice will land on. This is extremely helpful if you want to teach someone how to play craps. I have taught a few people how to play the game using the Aw Craps application. The program is definitely fun and if you enjoy playing Craps you will want this application for your IPhone.
