Dice Game Behaviour How to behave at the craps table? There are unwritten rules of craps etiquette besides the game rules. There is a certain etiquette that craps players stick to. A bet is placed while the dice are in the middle of the table.Before you make a bet have it clear in your mind what bets you are going 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. The opposite end of the table should be hit with the dice when they are thrown. 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 dealers and the players aren't allowed to touch and handle the chips directly to each other. The dealer takes the cash laid down on the layout and places chips in front of the player. Like any other table game, the casino can ask a player to leave the table or the casino for any reason. Without fear of offending anyone a player may pass the dice to the next player when offered the dice to shoot. There must always be a shooter. Pass line or don't pass line should be betted by him to continue the game. Tip the dealers. Dealers in the US don't get paid that much. Tossing chips onto the table and saying "For the dealers" or "For the boys" is the most common way of tipping. To place a bet for the dealers is also common. A two-way bet is partly for the player and partly for the dealers. Though the the dealers' bet is smaller than the player's bet, it is appreciated. To change dice in the middle of a roll is considered bad luck. The shooter calls "Same Dice!" if he doesn't want a new die. Food, drinks, cigarettes, and other things are remained off the chip rail and aren't held over the table. To leave the table after a successful come-out roll is felt by the players to be bad luck. When the shooter is ready to roll, players should remove their hands from the table area to avoid interfering with the dice. "Hands high, let 'em fly" or "dice are out, hands high" is often said by the stickman. Coloring up should be done only when the player is preparing to leave the table. It is generally permissible to color up and then decide to stay for one more round. But it is impolite to color up multiple times while at the same table.Craps is considered to be one of the most popular table games ib the casino. Craps is played in nearly every casino today. Some gamblers consider Craps to be too complicated. In fact it is very easy to play Craps. Craps has its own extensive jargon like ‘boxcars’, ‘hard ways’ and ‘horn bet’. Craps is usually played on a large sunken table. A pair of dice is used as the main element of the game. The dice are thrown by the ‘shooter’. Shooter is a player who is currently holding the dice. All active players have to make bets and only then the game starts. Each active player is to choose one of the numerous bets. Craps is very popular in US casinos. Craps is a fast and exciting game with a lot of action. The intricacy of rules, betting options, and payout ratios make Craps unique among casino games. Many Craps bets offer very favorable odds to the player. If you bet wisely, you can keep the house’s advantage to a very small percentage (about 0. 6% in the best cases). Among the best bets are Pass and Come, especially when you take advantage of the associated free odds bets. The main advantage of Craps is that all you need is a pair of dice and a few friends. It is the casino version of the game that gives Craps its reputation of being a fast paced, exciting game. Players often begin with Craps in the casino because it is one of the easiest games. The main idea of the game is that you place a bet on what is referred to as the “passline bet”. Only when all the bets are placed the dice are rolled. You win if you roll 7 or 11. You lose your bet if the total is 12,3,2. If the total is any other number except 7,11,12,3,2 this number is called a point number. In the case of a point number this number has to be rolled again before 7 , if it happens you win. You lose if 7 is rolled first. There is one more bet available for Craps players. Odds bet means that the casino does not have its usual house advantage and it also hedges on true odds. At some casinos players can be taught the rules and the strategy of the game.
