Craps Partners
Craps is the fastest - and certainly the loudest - game in the casino. With the big, colorful
table, chips flying everywhere and players yelling, it's exiting to watch and exciting to play.
Craps also has the one of the lowest house edges against you of any casino game, but only if you
make the right bets. In fact, with one type of bet (which you will soon learn) you play even with the house, meaning that the house has a zero edge. This is the only casino game where this is true.
The craps table is slightly larger than a standard pool table, with a wood railing that goes
around the outside edge. This railing acts as a backboard for the dice to be thrown
against and is sponge-lined on the inside with random patterns so that the dice bounce
randomly. Most table rails also have grooves on top where you can place your chips.
The table surface is a tight fitting green felt with designs to indicate all the various bets
that can be made in craps. It's very confusing for a beginner, but all you really need to
concern yourself with right now is the "Pass Line" area and the "Don't Pass" area.
