Craps
Craps is a dice game where players wager against the casino on the out come of one roll, or a series of rolls of two dice. It can be played with 1or more players. Players take turns rolling two dice. The player rolling the dice is called the shooter. The game is played in rounds, with the first roll of a new round called the come-out roll.
On the come-out roll if the total of the two dice are 7, 11, 2, 3, or 12 the round ends immediately and the shooter must roll another come-out roll. A result of 2, 3 or 12 is called craps while a result of 7 or 11 is called a win or a natural. When any other number (4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10) is rolled on the come-out roll this number becomes what is called the point. If a point is established then the shooter will re-roll the dice continuously until either a 7 is rolled or the point is rolled again. If the shooter rolls the point again the round ends and the game starts over with the same shooter rolling another come-out roll. If the shooter rolls a 7 instead of the point, this is called seven-out, the round ends and the dice pass to the next player to the left, who becomes the new shooter.
