| CRAPS
The
cheers and applause you hear on a casino floor can only mean
one things: A "shooter" in the craps pit must be "throwing"
a tremendous hand. This exciting and fast paced game can appear
to be very intimidating to the beginner. Once the novice understands
the various bets, the game becomes enjoyable. A craps table
has three dealers: The dealer controlling the dice and standing
on the outside of the game is the Stickman. The two dealers
on the inside of the game make the player's payoffs and the
Boxman sits in the middle, watching the payoffs carefully.
Listen to the Stickman as he calls the game — it's exciting.
Each player must place their wagers before the shooter throws
the dice and we are ready to go as the "shooter" throws the
dice.
There
can be any number of throws between the Come Out roll and
the end of the round. If a 7 comes before the Point, the shooter
sevens out and the dice are passed to another player for the
start of the next round. On the other hand, if the shooter
hits the Point, he or she can elect to keep rolling for the
next round. A shooter who rolls a 2, 3 or 12 on the Come Out
roll craps out and passes the dice to the next player. Rolling
a natural on Come Out (7 or 11) lets the shooter keep the
dice for another Come Out roll.
There
are a variety of bets that can be made on each throw, some
are conditional and some are bets against a specific result.
Some bets can stay on the table for the entire round, some
bets span rounds and some are only viable for a single throw.
All the variability makes craps interesting, fascinating and
fun to play.
The
best way to start playing Craps is with a Pass Line bet on
the Come Out roll. A 7 or 11 on Come Out make it an immediate
winner, paying 1-to-1. If a Point is established, then the
Pass Line bet will pay 1-to-1 if the Point is repeated before
a 7. Ask our professional craps dealers to explains all the
beting options.
