Craps is without a doubt one of the most exciting games in the casino. People yelling, shouting and the adrenaline raging give you one of the best casino experiences around. With all the excitement, however, some people may find the game a bit hard to follow. Read these guidelines to understand the game a little better.

First, a little about the equipment.Craps is played on a table made specifically for use in the casino, which has walls made of a foam-like material which is designed to ensure randomness of the roll. The dice are made to high standards and are replaced routinely after eight hours of use. The craps staff consits of a boxman, a stickman and two dealers.

A game of craps starts with a "Come out roll." this happens when the kast shooter loses, i.e., fails to make the Point or seven out. When this happens, the dice are passed to the next player directly to the left and the games continue this way in a clockwise fashion.

During the craps game the dice are rolled accross the table layout. This consists of two mirror-image sections divided by a center partition. the sections are marked Pass and Don't Pass Line bets, Come and Don't Come bets, Odds bet, Place bets and Field bets. The center area is shared by both side areas and contains the Proposition bets.

There are different types of bets that you can make at the craps table. In "Pass Line Bets" you win if the roll is a natural and lose if it is craps. If a point is rolled then you must repeat it before a seven is rolled so that you win. In Come bets the rules are the same as pass line bets only here you can make this bet only after the point on the pass line has been determined. These are only two of the many types of bet that you can make.

Payoffs in craps are high, but so is the house edge, so you have to know what you are doing before you bet large amounts of money. An understanding of the people who manage the game is also important in playing. The Box man is the craps table supervisor and he is the one who doles out the chips. Each Dealer is responsible for the bets made at his end of the table. Whenever you want to make a bet give your money to the dealer and he will place the bet for you. Floor men are the people who supervise that the games in the casino will go according to regulations. the stickman is the person who calls out the dice rolls and returns the dice to the thrower. He is also responsible for placing proposition bets.
