Smart Bets In Bank Craps One or more players play against a casino in bank craps. All players' bets are covered and the odds on the payout are set by the casino. Two dice are rolled by the players in turn. 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 first roll of a new round is called the "come-out roll". 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. The shooter is then presented with five dice by the stickman. Two of them are picked. 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 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. There are variations of street craps. Unlike complex bets offered by casino craps street craps has more simplified betting options. The shooter is required to make either a Pass or a Don't Pass bet if he wants to roll the dice. 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.
