How Casino Craps is Played: A Complete Guide

Craps is a popular and fast-paced casino dice game that involves betting on the outcome of the roll or a series of rolls of two dice. It attracts players with its dynamic gameplay and social atmosphere, often played at a specialized table with its own unique betting options. Understanding the rules and various bets is essential for anyone looking to enjoy this thrilling casino experience.

At its core, craps revolves around the shooter rolling the dice. The first roll of a betting round is called the "come-out roll." Players bet on the outcome, aiming for a 7 or 11 to win immediately, or avoiding 2, 3, or 12, which result in a loss. If another number is rolled, that number becomes the "point," and players then bet on the shooter rolling the point again before a 7 appears. The game incorporates a variety of bets, including pass line, don’t pass, come, and don’t come, each with its own odds and strategies.
