Craps is my favorite game in the casino. Besides being fun to play, craps gives the casino one of the smallest house edge’s of most casino games. Fun game and small house edge?! Sounds good to me!
You can actually decrease the, already small, house edge by playing greater odds. The higher the odds played the less the house edge. Today I want to look at the craps odds available in Downtown Vegas casinos. Since the higher odds decrease the casino’s advantage I list casinos from the best odds to worst odds.
20x Odds
Main Street Station
House Edge: 0.099% 0.065%
10x Odds
The D
El Cortez
Golden Gate
Plaza
House Edge: 0.184% 0.124%
5x Odds
Binion’s
Downtown Grand
Four Queens
House Edge: 0.326% 0.227%
3x-4x-5x Odds
Golden Nugget
House Edge: 0.374% 0.273%
2x Odds
California
Fremont
House Edge: 0.572% 0.431%
Even the worst odds in craps give the casino a smaller house edge than most games in the casino. Most people don’t like to max out their odds when playing craps because it’s too much action. I try to max my odds wherever I play. Minimum pass line bets in these casinos is usually only $5 so full odds isn’t too expensive.
The best craps odds don’t make the best games. I’ll get into my favorite Downtown Vegas craps games later. For more information check out Wizard of Vegas craps survey.

California Club and Fremont still just have 2X odds? Get into the 21st Century!
I never go to the Cal but craps at the Fremont is ALWAYS packed. $3 minimums speak more to new gamblers than higher odds.
Yeah, that’s fair. Hard to find anything less than $5, and sometimes less that $10.
Just another reason craps is the bees knees in Downtown Vegas. Better odds and lower limits. BOOM! 🙂
