The table is covered with a betting layout, where you can place chips to make different types of bets. There are two ways to bet on Craps, the "right" way, that is with the dice, or the "wrong" way, against the dice. Any number so rolled is thereafter referred to as the "Point". In the bonus round, rolling the number that got you into the bonus round wins, while a 7 loses, and any other number is irrelevant. After the point is rolled the dice will be rolled continuously until the same point is rolled again or a 7.

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. After seeing all bets are down, the stickman pushes a few sets of dice to the shooter. A player can place Pass-Line bets, and if the initial roll is a 7 or 11, the player wins.

At the start of a turn a shooter is chosen. If the shooter rolls 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10 the shooter must roll this same number again (to win) before rolling the number 7.

How do you behave at the craps table? There are craps etiquette rules besides the rules of the game itself. Craps players stick to a certain etiquette. Place your bet while the dice are in the middle of the table. Before you make a bet have it clear in your mind what bets you are going to place. The dice isn't supposed to be handled with more than one hand. To put the dice on the table, let go, then take them with the other hand is the only way to change hands. The opposite end of the table should be hit with the dice when they are thrown. A more controllable short roll is called a "no roll". If a die or both dice leave the table, it is also a "no roll". Dealers aren't allowed to touch the players or hand chips directly to a player, and vice versa. The dealer takes the cash laid down on the layout and places chips in front of the player. The casino can ask a player to leave the table or the casino for any reason. A player may pass the dice to the next player when offered the dice to shoot. A shooter must be one of the players. He should bet on either the pass line or don't pass line to continue the game. Do tip the dealers. In the US dealers aren't paid much. To tip the dealers the chips are tossed onto the table and it is said "For the dealers" or "For the boys". Placing a bet for the dealers is also common. A two-way bet is one that is part for the player and part for the dealers. Though the the dealers' bet is smaller than the player's bet, it is appreciated. Changing dice in the middle of a roll is considered bad luck. If a new die isn't wanted, the shooter 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. To leave the table after a successful come-out roll is bad luck. To avoid interfering with the dice players should remove their hands 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. To color up and then decide to stay for one more round is generally permissible. But to color up multiple times while at the same table is impolite.
