Craps is a popular casino game that originated among the French and spread around the world. It is a dice game played on a specially-designed table with multiple players betting against each other or against the casino. It is one of the fastest-paced and most exciting wagering opportunities in any casino.
The basic rules of craps are relatively simple. Players make wagers on the outcome of the roll of two dice. The shooter (the player who rolls the dice) must place a bet on either the Pass line or the Don't Pass line. Those who bet on the Pass line win when the shooter rolls a 7 or 11, while those who bet on the Don't Pass line win when the shooter rolls a 2 or 3. If the shooter rolls any other number (4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10), that number becomes the “point”. In this case, the shooter must roll the point before rolling a 7. If the shooter rolls a 7 first, then the Pass line bettors lose and the Don't Pass line bettors win.
