Craps

Craps is played with a pair of dice which is thrown by a person that the casino calls "The Shooter" - this is the player who holds the dice at that moment. Other players are allowed to join in the game and place bets.

The biggest and noisiest table in the casino is normally the craps table! You can usually spot it because there often a lot of people leaning over the table making quite a noise!

Craps is actually quite a simple game once you learn the rules

Playing Craps

As mentioned above - Craps can be a simple game and although there are lots of different betting options you only need to learn a few of them to get started.

In a nutshell you are betting on the outcome of the numbers rolled by the Dice.

The simplest bet to make is to bet on the "Pass" line in the hopes that a 7 or an 11 is rolled on the dice. If you bet on this, and a 7 or an 11 is rolled you receive even money and get to make another bet.

This first roll of the dice is known as the "Come Out " Roll.

If you don't roll a 7 or an 11, then a 'point' is established on the number of the value on the dice rolled. Once a point is established you need to try and roll the same number again before the 7 is rolled. Once the 7 is rolled you lose your bet. Once a point has been established you can't take your bet away from the Craps table.

Types of Bets

There are lots of different kinds of bets that can be placed in Craps:

"Pass Bet"
The "Pass Bet" is the simple bet where you bet on a 7 or 11

"Don't Pass Bet"

"Come Bet"
The "Come Bet" is the same as the "Pass Bet" but cannot be made on the 1st roll - which is known as the "Come - out " roll.
