How To Bet Playing Bank Craps One or more players play against a casino in bank craps. The casino covers all player bets at a table and sets the odds on its payout. Players roll two dice in turn. The "shooter" is the player rolling the dice. Bets on the shooter's dice rolls are made by other players. The game is played in rounds. The first roll of a new round is called the "come-out roll". A shooter bets the the table minimum on either the "Pass" line or the "Don't Pass" line. The shooter is then presented with five dice by the stickman. Two of them are picked. If the numbers 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10 are rolled on the come-out, this number becomes the Point and the come-out roll is now over. The shooter will now continue rolling until either the point is rolled or a seven. If the point is rolled, the result is a win for the pass line. The pass line loses if the shooter rolls a seven. Then the dice is passed (clockwise) to the next player who wishes to become the new shooter. For each round or each roll players can make a large number of bets. In a casino craps there are four employees. A boxman guards the chips, supervises the dealers and handles coloring out players. Two base dealers stand to either side of the boxman and collect and pay bets. A stickman stands directly across the table from the boxman. The bets are taken, the results of each roll are announced, the dice are collected and the dealers are directed to pay winners by him. Each employee makes sure the other is paying out winners correctly. The shooter is usually insisted to roll with one hand and that the dice bounce off the far wall of the table by the dealers. The game is kept fair with the help of these requirements.Recreational or informal playing of craps outside of a casino is referred to as street craps or private craps. The difference between street and bank craps is that there is no bank in street craps. Players must bet against each other by covering or fading each other's bets for the game to be played. If money is used instead of chips street craps is an illegal form of gambling. There are variations of street craps. Unlike more complex proposition bets offered by casinos, street craps has more simplified betting options. To roll the dice the shooter makes a Pass or a Don't Pass bet. For the game to continue the shooter's stake must be covered by another player. The shooter will always be betted against by the person covering him. As long as there is another player willing to cover the shooter other players may make bets.
