Principles Of Street Craps
Bank craps is a game played by one or more players against a casino. All players' bets are covered and the odds on the payout are set by the casino. Players take turns rolling two dice. The "shooter" is the player rolling the dice. Other players make bets on the shooter's dice rolls. 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. He picks two of them. 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. Rolling is continued until until either the point or a seven is rolled. 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. If the shooter wants to roll the dice he is required to make either 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.
