INTRODUCTION TO CRAPS

OBJECTIVE/PREMISE OF CRAPS
Craps is a game of chance played on a sunken table with a pair of dice that are thrown by the Shooter. The objective is to bet on whether the Shooter will throw a winning combination. A game of craps consists of two distinct phases, the Coming Out phase and the Point phase.Coming Out Phase
When the dice are given to a new Shooter, his or her first roll is called the Come Out roll. In this phase, the objective is to roll a 7 or an 11 whilst betting on the Pass Line. If the Shooter rolls a 2, 3 or 12, this is called Rolling Craps or Craps Out, all Pass Line bets lose automatically and the Shooter must roll again until a Point is established.Point Phase
To establish a Point, the Shooter rolls a 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10 in the Come Out phase. The Puck is then placed over this number to identify the Point. The Shooter must continue to roll until he or she makes the Point (a win) or until they roll a 7 (he Sevens Out) and the roll is passed to the player on the Shooter’s left. If Point is made by the Shooter, the roll stays with them and they start the Come Out phase again.That’s about it as far as the mechanics of the craps game go but it is in the craps betting where this exciting game becomes more complicated.
