Craps
Craps is the casino table game that popularized the numbers 7 and 11. By hitting 7 or 11 at the roll of two dice, some bets win and others lose. The line-ridden craps table comes across as a tad too intimidating to the uninitiated, as opposed, say, to minding a 52-card deck, multi-colored wheel, or one-armed machine.
Craps Game Rules
But the truth is simple: in craps, all you really need to do is bet on what numbers each roll of the dice will produce, and some of these bets are the most profitable you will ever make, whether in a land-based or Internet Casino.
The Object of the Game
The goal of playing craps differs between a player and a shooter, which refers to the player whose turn it is to throw the dice across the craps table. Each throw of the dice is known as a "roll". For a shooter, the object of the game is to establish a "point" number by throwing the dice, and then to roll that point number a second time before rolling a 7.
For the other players who are not the designated shooter, the object of the game is to wager on the outcome of each roll. A third goal for participants might be to watch out for that 7, known as craps, because when a 7 is rolled, certain bets lose and a session of the game is put to an end. Hitting an 11, known as a natural, makes and breaks specific bets as well.
