Craps is one game you are virtually certain to find in any reputable brick-and-mortar casino or online gambling room. It seems that people just can’t get enough of this game, which is not surprising when you see the kind of nonstop excitement it can generate. All it takes is one good night at the craps table to hook a player for life. Though considered a game uniquely suited to the American national character (whatever the heck that is) craps actually derives from an Olde English diversion known as “hazard.” This article will take a look at some of the most basic ‘nuts and bolts’ aspects of the modern form of the game. At its core, craps is a casino dice game in which players place money bets against the casino on the outcome of one roll, or of a series of rolls with two dice. In a casino setting, the craps table is run by four individuals. The Boxman is at the top of the pyramid, responsible for guarding the chips and overseeing the dealers. Two Base Dealers flank the Boxman, collecting and paying bets. The Stickman stands directly across the table from the Boxman, announces the results of each roll and then collects the dice with a wooden stick. The players take turns rolling the dice.

A typical game of craps can encompass a wide range of different bets, but the most fundamental is the pass line wager, which is a bet most of the players will make. On a come-out roll, the pass line betters win when either a 7 or 11 is rolled. A 2, 3, or 12 loses, and is called “craps.” When any other number (namely 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10) is rolled, this is known as the ‘point.’ Once the point is set, the pass-line better wins if the point is rolled again, and loses if a 7 is rolled first. This fairly common type of occurrence is referred to as a ‘seven-out.’ Following a seven-out, the dice pass to the next shooter for a new come-out roll. |
