Craps payout chart

Key points
- No single standard chart exists; payouts vary by casino and local rules.12
- The chart lists each wager, its payout if it wins, and often the true odds and house edge for comparison.13
- Casinos may use different payout schedules for the same bet, such as alternate field-bet pay tables or regional hardway payouts.14
- Buy bets incur a 5% commission, typically $1 per $20 wagered, which reduces the net payout below the listed ratio.4
