Craps (previously known as crabs) is a
casino dice game. Craps is a
simplification of the Old English game
hazard. Players wager money against the
casino on the outcome of one roll, or of
a series of rolls of two dice.
Craps can also be played in less formal
settings and is said to be popular among
soldiers. In such situations side bets
are more frequent, with one or several
participants covering or "fading" bets
against the dice. Players take turns
rolling two dice, and they all bet on
the same roll, regardless of who is
rolling.
The player rolling the dice is called
the "shooter". The first roll of a new
round is called the "come-out roll." All
bets are based on the total of both dice
together, or on the specific combination
of the roll.
Craps features a plethora of bets, but
the most fundamental is the "pass line"
wager, which nearly all players make. On
a come-out roll, the pass line bettors
win when either a 7 or 11 is rolled. A
2, 3, or 12 loses, and is called
"craps".
When any other number (4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or
10) is rolled, it is called the point.
Once a point has been set, the pass-line
bettor wins if the point is rolled
again, and loses if a 7 is rolled first
("seven-out"). A shooter will continue
to roll (even if he/she rolls craps)
until a seven-out, at which point the
dice pass to the next shooter for a new
come-out roll.
