Casino Craps For Real

When the point has been established, an “ON” puck will be placed on the point. The game is played with a pair of dice, which are thrown by the ‘shooter’, a player who is currently holding the dice. On the other hand a total of 2, 3, 7, 11, or 12 on the come out roll immediately ends the round. After the point is rolled the dice will be rolled continuously until the same point is rolled again or a 7.

Once the shooter establishes the "Point", the dealer will move this puck to that "Point" number and turn it the white side up. There are quite a number of bets to choose from. The result of the roll determines which bets win or lose. Each throw of the dice is called a "roll". The object of Craps is to predict the number displayed on the dice after the dice toss. The so-called "Pass Line" is a strip on the table layout marked by two lines roughly two inches wide and it rims the entire table layout across from the Box Man. It is white on one side and black on the other, and is used by the dealers to identify the "Point". Box Cars: this is when the Shooter rolls two 6's. If a 7 is rolled you lose your bet. In the simplest form of the game you place a bet on the Pass Line and attempt to roll a seven.

Pass Line bets lose if the come-out roll is 2, 3 or 12. On the "Come Out" roll, the "Pass Line" bet wins if the shooter rolls a 7 or an 11.

The shooter's goal is to pass. Other players may join in and place their own bets. We'll ignore the bad bets completely. The game is played by tossing the dice from one of the short ends of the table to the other (make sure that both die hit the opposite side wall of the table) Payoffs are made based on the number combination displayed when the dice come to rest. (That's two-hundredths of one percent, not two percent! When the shooter fails to make his or her "Point", the dice are then offered to the next player for a new "Come Out" roll and the game continues in the same manner. You can get your socks back by rolling two 7's, but the only way to reclaim your 401k is to roll a 2, 3, 4, and 5 in order while the stickman shows you naked pictures of your mom.

What are the rules of behaviour at the craps table? There are craps etiquette rules besides the rules of the game itself. There is a certain etiquette that craps players stick to. While the dice are in the middle of the table place your bet. Have it clear in your mind what bets to place. Players handle the dice with one hand. The only way to change hands is to put the dice on the table, let go, then take them with the other hand. The player should hit the wall at the opposite end of the table throwing the dice. A short roll will be called a "no roll" because it is more controllable. If a die or both dice leave the table, it is also a "no roll". The players aren't allowed to be touched by the dealers, and chips aren't allowed to be handled directly. Players should lay the cash down on the layout, the dealer will take it and then place chips in front of the player. A player can leave the table or the casino for any reason, asked by the casino. When offered the dice to shoot, a player may pass the dice to the next player without fear of offending anyone. There must always be a shooter. Pass line or don't pass line should be betted by him to continue the game. Do tip the dealers. Dealers in the US don't get paid that much. To tip the dealers the chips are tossed onto the table and it is said "For the dealers" or "For the boys". To place a bet for the dealers is also common. A bet that is part for the player and part for the dealers is a two-way bet. Though the the dealers' bet is smaller than the player's bet, it is appreciated. It is considered bad luck to change dice in the middle of a roll. If one or both dice leave the table, and the shooter doesn't want a new die he should immediately and loudly call "Same Dice!". Food, drinks, cigarettes, and other things shouldn't be held over the table and should remain off the chip rail. Leaving the table after a successful come-out roll is felt to be bad luck. Players' hands should be removed from the table area when the shooter is ready to roll. It is often said by the stickman: "hands high, let 'em fly" or "dice are out, hands high". Coloring up should be done only when the player is preparing to leave the table. It is generally permissible to color up and then decide to stay for one more round. But it is impolite to color up multiple times while at the same table.
