How to Play Craps
There are many types of bets available in Craps (both regular and
"supplementary" ones after the first roll), all of which are summarized in the
following two sections below. The dice is passed around the table in order and
each player gets the chance to throw the dice if they so wish.
Initially you start with the "Come out" roll. Some bets are available only for the
come out roll. A black marker is displayed in the top left-hand corner of the Craps
table prior to a come out roll. Some bets are available only after a Point has been
established. A Point is established if the come out roll is either 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10.
The number rolled, is called the Point and the next roll(s) is called the Point roll.
Point rolls continue until the shooter rolls a 7 or the Point. Once this happens, the
sequence starts again with the next roll as a come out roll.
