Principles Of Dice Game 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. Two dice are rolled by the players in turn. The "shooter" is the player rolling the dice. Other players at the table will make bets on the shooter's dice rolls. Rounds are played in the game. The "come-out roll" is the first roll of a new round. To begin, the table minimum on either the "Pass" line or the "Don't Pass" line must be betted by a player who wants to be a shooter. The stickman then presents the shooter with 5 dice. He picks two of them. The come-out roll is over if the numbers 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10 are rolled, and they become the Point. The shooter continues until he rolls either the point or a seven. The pass line wins if the shooter rolls the point. The pass line loses if the shooter rolls a seven. Then the next player (clockwise) becomes the shooter. A large number of bets for each round or each roll can be made by players. A casino craps requires four casino employees. 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 the other is paying out winners 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.Street craps is recreational playing of craps outside of a casino. The difference between street and bank craps is that there is no bank in street craps. For the game to be played players' bets against each other are covered or faded. If money is used instead of chips street craps is an illegal form of gambling. Street craps has many variations. Unlike more complex proposition bets offered by casinos, street craps has more simplified betting options. If the shooter wants to roll the dice he is required to make either 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.
