CRAPSPosted by mamooz on September 24th, 2010 CRAPS A gambling game played with two dice in which a first throw of 7 or 11 wins, a first throw of 2, 3, or 12 loses the bet, and a first throw of any other number (a point) must be repeated to win before a 7 is thrown, which loses both the bet and the dice. Craps might very well be the most thrilling, action-packed casino game out there. The sometimes chaotic atmosphere surrounding the live craps pits can be enough to make even the most composed floor managers start pulling out their hair. Even the most experienced players have trouble handling the swings that can occur in a craps game -at least at the higher limits. The Rule of craps follows The shooter's first roll is known as a Come Out. In order to make a simple Pass Line Bet, you would simply lay your chips on the area marked Pass Line. You will win if the shooter hits a natural: 7 or 11. If they roll craps: 2, 3, or 12, you lose. If they happen to hit a shooter's point: 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10, they must hit that point again before rolling a 7 for you to win. Knowing how the pass line works will help your overall understanding of Craps. Like it? Share it! More by this author |
