Craps is a casino dice game that involves a great deal of action and strategy, both with money and the dice. The game of craps has many exciting aspects to it. The concept of playing craps is to roll a number (a point) with two dice and then roll that same number again before a seven is rolled. The person at the craps table that rolls the dice is called “the shooter.” Craps can be as simple as betting on one number and either winning or losing on each roll, or as complex as making a bet, waiting until the shooter rolls a target, or “point” number, then hoping the shooter can roll the same number again. That procedure can go on for any number of rolls. The rules to craps are easy to follow, but due to the fast pace of the game it is hard to learn the game by just watching it. That is why you need to try it out! What makes the game trickier to understand are the variety of bets players can make. Beginner craps players can make simple bets on single numbers and win or lose with each roll. As you play craps more often however, you'll find more advanced bets such as laying the odds essential to any winning craps strategy. When there is a number marked by the “pucks,” it means that the number is the “point” of the game. This is the number that the shooter is trying to make before seven rolls. If the point is made, the puck is turned “off” and the shooter shoots again. It is now a “come out roll.” A “come out roll” means that it is the beginning of the game and there in no point established. If the next number that rolls is a 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10, then that is the point of the game. The shooter again tries to shoot the point before seven. If seven rolls before the point, we call that a “seven out.” The shooter loses control of the dice and we give the dice to the next shooter. A new shooter makes a point and then tries to make the point before a seven, just as the previous shooter. It certainly sounds like a really interesting game to us – there is no point to wait around, just join up to 20 players on the Craps table and enjoy the game!
