Craps Good Luck What are the rules of behaviour at the craps table? Besides the rules of the game itself, there are unwritten rules of craps etiquette. A certain etiquette is sticked to by the players. A bet is placed while the dice are in the middle of the table.Have it clear in your mind what bets to place. Players aren't supposed to handle the dice with more than one hand. The only way to change hands is to put the dice on the table, let go, then take them with the other hand. When throwing the dice, the player should hit the wall at the opposite end of the table. A short roll is more controllable, it will be called a "no roll". It is also a "no roll" if a die or both dice leave the table. The players aren't allowed to be touched by the dealers, and chips aren't allowed to be handled directly. Players lay the cashdown on the layout and the dealer places chips in front of the players. Like any other table game, the casino can ask a player to leave the table or the casino for any reason. When offered the dice to shoot, a player may pass the dice to the next player without fear of offending anyone. A shooter must be one of the players. Pass line or don't pass line should be betted by him to continue the game. Do tip the dealers. Dealers in the US don't get that much. The most common way of tipping is to toss chips onto the table and say, "For the dealers" or "For the boys". It is also common to place a bet for the dealers. A bet that is part for the player and part for the dealers is a two-way bet. The dealers' bet is smaller than the player's bet. It is considered bad luck to change dice in the middle of a roll. If the shooter doesn't want a new die he immediately and loudly calls "Same Dice!". Food, drinks, cigarettes, and other things shouldn't be held over the table and should remain off the chip rail. To leave the table after a successful come-out roll is felt by the players to be bad luck. To avoid interfering with the dice players should remove their hands from the table area when the shooter is ready to roll. The stickman will often say "hands high, let 'em fly" or "dice are out, hands high". Coloring up should be done only when the player is preparing to leave the table. Coloring up and then staying for one more round is generally permitted. But to color up multiple times while at the same table is impolite.It is not wise to play the game, especially with big bets, if you are inexperienced in the game. Make sure you know the rules and some peculiarities of the game before betting. There are plenty of opportunities to practice online without involving any money. The more experienced you are the better player you are. A vital feature of an efficient craps strategy involves a good understanding of the smart bets on the table.
