How to Play Craps- Part 1
If you play casino games, no doubt you have heard of the game of craps. It is one of the most popular games in the gambling market because of its fun and exciting play. When you walk into a land-based casino no doubt you are going to hear loud yells and screams—most likely those are going to come from the craps table. Though it is a game of luck, there are still some rules you have to follow to play. Here are the basics. The game is a dice-based game. it is played on a table and you get two dice to throw. Normally the business of dice is taken seriously in the casino. Dice are normally thrown out after eight hours of play and regularly inspected for faults. If any are found, then they are dismissed and a new pair of dice are brought into the game.
At the beginning of the craps game the shooter has to bet on the “pass” line or the “don’t pass” line. The shooter than gets the dice—normally five of them and has to pick which ones to play with. There are rules about the dice though. Players can only hold them with one hand and the dice must hit the opposite wall at the end of the craps table. Normally any craps table has up to twenty players having fun around it and that’s what makes it such a fun gambling game. Every player gets his or her chance to throw the dice unless a player opts to wager on the thrower instead. There are various wagers allowed at the table and this is what makes the game so popular and fun. In a game of craps there will be a few rounds to get through and the dice moving clockwise around the table. There are going to be two phases to get through in a game too: the come out and the point. When the round starts, the shooter has to make the “come out” roll. If the shooter gets a roll of two, three or a twelve, then the come out roll is called a “crap out.” That ends the round and the players all end up losing. If the shooter gets a seven or an eleven, then those who made pass line bets win. The shooter has to continue rolling until he rolls a four, five, six, eight, nine or a ten.
