How many possible dice combinations are there in craps?

Hi @Jogador10! Let’s keep it simple.

So, in craps, you're dealing with two six-sided dice, right? Let's think about it like this:

For Dice 1, you have 6 possibilities (because it can land on any number between 1 and 6). The same goes for Dice 2 – another 6 possibilities.

To find the number of possible combinations when you roll both dice together, you just multiply their individual possibilities:

Dice 1 possibilities (6) x Dice 2 possibilities (6) = 36 total possible combinations.

So, there you have it: 36 unique combinations when you roll two dice in craps.

Remember, this doesn't mean each outcome (sum of the dice) has an equal chance, because there are multiple ways to get, say, a total of 7 (1+6, 2+5, 3+4, 4+3, 5+2, 6+1) but only one way to get a 2 (1+1) or a 12 (6+6). 

But for just raw combinations of the dice? 36 in total.

Hope that helps and may the odds be ever in your favor!  You can read our guide on payouts and odds to learn more about the probability of craps.
