Props and Hops
Introduction
Props and Hops is an exciting variant of craps that made its first appearance at Sugar House casino in Pennsylvania back in 2014. Essentially, it takes the classic game of craps and strips away the more favorable bets, leaving just the less advantageous options on the table. The name cleverly combines 'prop' bets and 'hop' bets, where hop bets refer to a bet on a specific outcome of the dice, like rolling a 1-6 or a double 5.
Rules
Below is a comprehensive list of all the betting options available. Each bet is determined by a single roll of the dice, and the payout odds are presented as a ratio.
- Field Bet — This option pays out at 2-1 for rolling a total of 2 or 12, 1-1 for the totals of 3, 4, 9, 10, and 11, while it loses on all other totals.
- Hard Hops — This bet provides a payout of 30-1 for any specific double roll, such as 1-1 or 4-4.
- Easy Hops — This betting option yields a payout of 15-1 for any specific combination of two different numbers on the dice, for example, 1-3 or 4-5.
- Any Seven — This single-roll wager offers a 4-1 payout if the total rolled is 7.
- Any Double — Another single-roll bet, it provides a payout of 4-1 for rolling any double.
- Any Craps — With this single-roll wager, you can earn a payout of 7-1 if the total lands on either 2, 3, or 12.
