Playing Dice Game

Bank craps is played by one or more players against a casino. The casino covers all player bets at a table and sets the odds on its payout. Rolling two dice players take turns. The player rolling the dice is called the "shooter". Bets on the shooter's dice rolls are made by other players. Rounds are played in the game. 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. The numbers 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10 become the Point if they are rolled, and the come-out roll is over. Rolling is continued until until either the point or a seven is rolled. If the shooter is successful in rolling the point, the result is a win for the pass line. If a seven is rolled the pass line loses. Then the dice is passed (clockwise) to the next player who wishes to become the new shooter. Players can make a large number of bets for each round or each roll. There are four casino employees in a casino craps. The chips are guarded, the dealers are supervised and the coloring out players is handled by a boxman. Bets are collected and paid by two base dealers standing to either side of the boxman. 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 winners are paid out correctly. The dealers insist that the dice must be rolled with one hand and bounced off the far wall of the table. These requirements help to keep the game fair.
Recreational or informal playing of craps outside of a casino is referred to as street craps or private craps. In street craps there is no bank to cover bets. Players bet against each other, bets are covered or faded. Depending on the laws and usage of money instead of chips street craps can be illegal. There are variations of street craps. Unlike complex bets offered by casino craps street craps has more simplified betting options. To roll the dice the shooter makes a Pass or a Don't Pass bet. Another player must choose to cover the shooter to create a stake for the game to continue. The person covering the shooter will always bet against the shooter. Once the shooter is covered, other players may make Pass or Don't Pass bets, or any other proposition bets, as long as there is another player willing to cover.
