How to Play Craps
Craps is played with 2 dice on a table ( except for street craps which does not use a table ) . Players bet on what they think the outcome of the dice thrown will be. The 'shooter' is the player that is rolling the dice. The first throw is known as the 'come out' throw. If the shooter throws a 7 or 11 he or she immediately wins. If a 2, 3, or 12 is thrown the player loses immediately, this is known as craps. Any other total thrown by the player
is called the players 'point'. The player must continue rolling until a point or a 7 is thrown. If a point is rolled before 7 the player wins.
