Easy Way

Craps

A roll of 4, 6, 8, or 10 where the dice show different numbers (not a pair). For example, an “easy 8” is a 2-6 or 3-5 combination, as opposed to the “hard 8” which is 4-4. Easy way rolls cause hardway bets to lose (since the number was made “the easy way” rather than as a pair). The stickman announces easy way rolls to inform players with active hardway bets that those wagers have lost. Easy way combinations are twice as likely to occur as hardway combinations for each box number.
