It is possible to divide the craps layout into four main areas: player side, dealer side, proposition box and the come. Proposition BoxThe prop box contains all the bets that make money for the house. You will find bets such as: horn, YO (11), any craps, any seven, hardway bets and others. This area is massive and takes up the middle of the craps table.Player SideThe player side is where you place your pass line bets and don’t pass line bets down. You also have the Big 6 and Big 8 as well as the field. Dealer SideThe bets on the dealer side of the craps layout include the place bets, come and don’t come bets (after a number has been rolled) and the don’t place bets.The ComeThe dealer and the player sides are separated from each other with an empty void. In this void, you place your come bets.

Every shooter starts with come out roll, then he keeps on throwing the dice until he repeats the point. If he fails the dice are given to the next player. The objective of the game is to throw the dice so that the total was 7 or 11. In the case of a point the shooter keeps on throwing the dice until he throws the same number.

Box man is the craps table supervisor who sits between the stickman and directly behind the thousands of dollars worth of chips that the casino keeps on hand at each craps table. Dealers are responsible for the bets on the table. Stickman: is the casino employee who calls out the dice rolls and returns the dice to the shooter. The stickman also is responsible for the placing and paying off bets.
