Craps Games Gambling Software
It now becomes important to mention a device that looks like a hockey puck called the "Puck". Shooter : The Player that rolls the dice. 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. Point: this is a number - four, five, six, eight, nine or ten, that the Shooter is
trying to roll to win the Pass Line bet. Craps is played on a large sunken table with dice thrown by the shooter. The boxman, who sits behind the
middle of the table, is the boss. Depending on the bet placed by the player, the player is either betting with (Don't Pass Line bet) or against (Pass Line bet) the house winning. There are quite a number of bets to choose from. " The object then is to keep rolling the dice until you
make that number again. So you put a chip on the Pass Line, and then you want the shooter to roll a seven, which is called a Dead Leprechaun, so that's why you'll hear the other players screaming, "Dead Leprechaun, Dead Leprechaun! Each dealer handles all the players on his side. Betting that the shooter will make his/her "Point" is called betting "with the shooter" (called "betting right") and betting that the shooter will not make his/her "Point" is called "betting against the shooter" (called "betting wrong") Rolling any of these numbers on the "Come Out" roll is called "establishing the "Point". Craps is usually played on a large sunken table. Making a Point: this is when the Shooter re-rolls the Point, once it has been established. Short summary: Right after you place your bet, rolling a 7 or 11 wins, while a 2, 3, or 12 loses. Once a point is established your objective is to roll the same number again before the next 7 is rolled. At this point place another chip below (due South) of your original bet. You can, however, bet with the shooter even while the game is in progress by placing a "Pass Line" bet without odds. Craps is one of the more exciting and social table games played in Casinos today. Before the new shooter rolls the dice on his or her "Come Out" roll, there are a variety of bets that can be made. The game is played with a pair of dice, which are thrown by the ‘shooter’, a player who is currently holding the dice. This is a continuation of that shooter's roll, although technically, the "Come Out" roll identifies a new game about to begin. The players take turns rolling the dice. In other table games someone else is dealing you the cards or spinning the little marble. Now, stay with me here, because here's where it gets complicated: If you make a bet on the Pass Line, then you can't place any other bets except a Field Bet, Hardways, Big 6, Seven-Up, or Double Orange Latte. It is strongly suggested that you read up about the kinds of bets available in the Types of Bets section. The inside walls of the table are covered with a serrated egg-carton like foam, designed to make the dice bounce around to assure randomness. The shooter is the player who is currently holding the dice. These bets win if 6 or 8 is rolled and lose if 7 is rolled. At the end of the roll, your winnings and any other bets are added back to your credits, unless that bet is a point bet. If you win the dealer will give you another chip, which you'll pick up, and let your original bet play again. If you play as recommended, you'll enjoy a very low house edge of less than 1%. 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. That player isn't allowed to roll either, but the dice become "dead" when they hit the third dead player, so a new pair is chosen by the stickman and given back to the first player. If you bet on that roll then you win if any number below 8 comes up but you lose if the stickman starts coughing up blood. The objective is to bet whether the Shooter will roll a winning combination. Now, no matter what number has been rolled, if the shooter throws the dice so hard that they leave the table, he's said to be Banging the Babysitter, and has to give two of his chips to the youngest female player at the table. It is one of the few truly social games played in modern casinos, and one of the few played with dice. If
another number is rolled initially, this number is called the point, and that
roll “Establishes the Point”. The bet loses automatically if the shooter rolls 2, 3 or 12. That players selects a pair of dice and is ready to roll them across the table
so that they hit the wall at the opposite end. Only the numbers 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10 can be a point number and all other rolls on the dice have special meanings depending on when they are rolled (before or after a point is established) It's unique in that the players roll the dice, so they're the ones who determine whether they win or lose.

Bank craps is a game played by one or more players against a casino. All players' bets are covered and the odds on the payout are set by the casino. Players take turns rolling two dice. The "shooter" rolls the dice. Other players at the table will make bets on the shooter's dice rolls. The game is played in rounds. The "come-out roll" is the first roll of a new round. 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 stickman then presents the shooter with 5 dice. He picks two of them. The numbers 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10 become the Point if they are rolled, and the come-out roll is over. The shooter will now continue rolling until either the point is rolled or a seven. If the point is rolled, the result is a win for the pass line. The pass line loses if a seven is rolled. Then the next player (clockwise) becomes the shooter. Players can make a large number of bets for each round or each roll. In a casino craps there are four employees. A boxman guards the chips, supervises the dealers and handles coloring out players. Two base dealers stand to either side of the boxman and collect and pay bets. A stickman stands directly across the table from the boxman. The bets are taken, the results of each roll are announced, the dice are collected and the dealers are directed to pay winners by him. Each employee makes sure the other is paying out winners correctly. The dealers insist that the dice must be rolled with one hand and bounced off the far wall of the table. These requirements keep the game fair. Informal craps playing is called street or private craps. The difference between street and bank craps is that there is no bank in street craps. Players bet against each other, bets are covered or faded. If using money instead of chips and depending on the laws of where it is being played, street craps can be an illegal form of gambling. Street craps has many variations. Unlike more complex proposition bets offered by casinos, street craps has more simplified betting options. 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. Once the shooter is covered, other players may make Pass or Don't Pass bets, or any other proposition bets, as long as there is another player willing to cover.
