HOW TO PLAY CRAPS

Craps can be an intimidating game for the beginner. The table seems to have about a hundred different kinds of bets. Critical to the understanding of Craps is that it is a game of rounds. The first roll in a round is called the Come out roll. Sometimes the outcome of a round will be determined on the Come out roll. In particular a 2, 3, 7, 11, or 12 on the Come out roll immediately ends a round. If any other total is rolled (4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10) that number is called the Point. A white puck is placed on an area of the table to designate what the Point is, in case you forget. If a Point is rolled the dice will be rolled continuously until the same Point is rolled again or a 7.

1. Start with a bet on the Pass Line.
2. Roll a 7 or 11 on the first roll and you win.
3. Roll a 2, 3 or 12 and you lose.
4. If any other number is rolled, a 'point' is established and you must re-roll that point before rolling a 7 to win.

Be sure to take the Free Odds once the Point is made - it's the best bet in the house.
