Principles Of Bank Craps Bank craps is a game 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. Players take turns rolling two dice. The dice are rolled by the "shooter". Other players at the table will make bets on the shooter's dice rolls. The game is played in rounds. The "come-out roll" is the first roll of a new round. To begin, a player who wants to be a shooter must bet the table minimum on either the "Pass" line or the "Don't Pass" line. 5 dice are presented to the shooter by the stickman. He picks two of them. The numbers 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10 become the Point if they are rolled, and the come-out roll is over. The shooter will now continue rolling until either the point is rolled or a seven. The pass line wins if the shooter rolls the point. The pass line loses if a seven is rolled. Then the dice is passed (clockwise) to the next player who wishes to become the new shooter. A large number of bets for each round or each roll can be made by players. Four employees play in a casino craps. A boxman guards the chips, supervises the dealers and handles coloring out players. Bets are collected and paid by two base dealers standing to either side of the boxman. Across the table from the boxman a stickman stands. 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 shooter is usually insisted to roll with one hand and that the dice bounce off the far wall of the table by the dealers. These requirements keep the game fair.Informal craps playing is called street or private craps. The most notable difference between playing street craps and bank craps is that there is no bank or house to cover bets in street craps. For the game to be played players' bets against each other 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.
