Craps Play Rules Games
If you play as recommended, you'll enjoy a very low house edge of less than 1%. Once the shooter establishes a "Point", you can then place an additional bet behind your "Pass Line" bet. 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") It probably won't be your turn to roll right away, and if you're still getting used to the game you can pass your turn (unless you're the only one playing, of course) Most of the other bets at craps are sucker bets, so don't make them. Once a point is established your objective is to roll the same number again before the next 7 is rolled. In the Point phase of the game, the objective is to roll the same number as the Point, before you roll a seven. While you are trying to make the point, you can add extra bets to the table. A "Come Out" roll can be made only when the previous shooter fails to make a winning roll more correctly known as "not making the "Point"" or "seven out". The Clear button removes all chips that are not on established points. Other players may join in and place their own bets. It now becomes important to mention a device that looks like a hockey puck called the "Puck". 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. Shooter : The Player that rolls the dice. Craps is usually played on a large sunken table. 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) Once a Point is established, re-rolling the Point
wins, seven loses and any other number does not affect the Pass Line bet. The object of Craps is to predict the number displayed on the dice after the dice toss. 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. The first roll is called the Come Out roll. 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) The basic idea behind Craps is to establish a "point" number and roll that number again before rolling a 7 (craps) The table is
divided by the center box of proposition bets and by the stickman, who
stands on the players' side of the table. Come-Out Roll: this is any roll before a point is established. The Roll button will start a game of Craps by rolling the dice. The dealer picks up your pass-line bet. Craps is an exciting game with the players all yelling and screaming. To place a wager on any of these bet types simply left-click on the table to increase the size of your bet, and right-click to decrease. As soon as it goes to OFF, then put your betting chip on the part of the table marked PASS LINE. Short summary: Right after you place your bet, rolling a 7 or 11 wins, while a 2, 3, or 12 loses. This is a continuation of that shooter's roll, although technically, the "Come Out" roll identifies a new game about to begin. Craps is a dice game, in which all bets are placed against the house. While the game does look complex and has its own extensive jargon like ‘boxcars’, ‘hard ways’ and ‘horn bet’ it is a relatively simple game to master. After rolling 7, 11, 2, 3 or 12, the Shooter
comes out again. A game of Craps can consist of two distinct phases, the Coming Out phase and the Point phase. If he doesn't roll either of those, then the dice are handed to the next player, who isn't allowed to roll, and so play passes to the next player. The table is covered with a betting layout, where you can place chips to make different types of bets. A new game in Craps begins with the ""Come Out"" roll. The puck stays on this "Point" until the shooter either makes his "Point" or until he sevens out. The Big 6 and Big 8 bets are displayed at the lower left of the screen. The Redo button reverses the effect of the Undo. The stickman controls the action of the dice and the pace of the game. This is called "taking odds".

What are the rules of behaviour at the craps table? Besides the rules of the game itself, there are unwritten rules of craps etiquette. There is a craps etiquette that players stick to. Place your bet while the dice are in the middle of the table. Have it clear in your mind what bets to place. The dice is handled with one hand. To change hands you put the dice on the table, let go, then take them with the other hand. When throwing the dice, the player should hit the wall at the opposite end of the table. A "no roll" is a more controllable short roll. A die or both that left the table are also "no roll". The dealers and the players aren't allowed to touch and handle the chips directly to each other. 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. At least one player must always be a shooter. Pass line or don't pass line should be betted by him to continue the game. Tip the dealers. Dealers in the US don't get paid that much. The most common way of tipping is to toss chips onto the table and say, "For the dealers" or "For the boys". A bet is also commonly put for the dealer. 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. To change dice in the middle of a roll is considered bad luck. If the shooter doesn't want a new die he immediately and loudly calls "Same Dice!". Food, drinks, cigarettes, and other things shouldn't be held over the table and should remain off the chip rail. Players feel it is bad luck to leave the table after a successful come-out roll. When the shooter is ready to roll, players should remove their hands from the table area to avoid interfering with the dice. The stickman will often say "hands high, let 'em fly" or "dice are out, hands high". Coloring up is done only when the player leaves 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.
