A game played by one or more players against a casino is bank craps. The casino covers all player bets at a table and sets the odds on its payout. Players take turns rolling two dice. The player rolling the dice is called the "shooter". Other players at the table will make bets on the shooter's dice rolls. Rounds are played in the game. The first roll of a new round is called the "come-out roll". To begin, the table minimum on either the "Pass" line or the "Don't Pass" line must be betted by a player who wants to be a shooter. The shooter is then presented with five dice by the stickman. Two of them are picked. If the Point numbers 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10 are rolled, the come-out roll is over. The shooter continues until he rolls either the point or a seven. The pass line wins if the shooter rolls the point. The pass line loses if a seven is rolled. The dice is passed to the new shooter. Players can make a large number of bets for each round or each roll. There are four casino employees in a casino craps. A boxman guards the chips, supervises the dealers and handles coloring out players. Bets are collected and paid by two base dealers standing to either side of the boxman. Across the table from the boxman a stickman stands. He takes bets in the center of the table, announces the results of each roll, collects the dice with a wooden stick, and directs the base dealers to pay winners from bets in the center of the table. Each employee makes sure winners are paid out correctly. The shooter is usually insisted to roll with one hand and that the dice bounce off the far wall of the table by the dealers. These requirements keep the game fair. Recreational or informal playing of craps outside of a casino is referred to as street craps or private craps. In street craps there is no bank to cover bets. Players bet against each other, cover or fade each other's bets. Depending on the laws and usage of money instead of chips street craps can be illegal. There are many variations of street craps. Street craps has more simplified betting options unlike more complex proposition bets offered by casinos. A Pass or a Don't Pass bet is made by the shooter if he wants to roll the dice. For the game to continue the shooter's stake must be covered by another player. The person covering the shooter will always bet against the shooter. As long as there is another player willing to cover the shooter other players may make bets.
