General

Craps (previously known as crabs) is a casino dice game. Craps is a simplification of the Old English game hazard.

The game involves predicting what numbers will be rolled on a pair of dice. The objective is to bet whether the Shooter will roll a winning combination. The Shooter is a person who throws the dice.

The first roll of the dice in a craps round is called the "come out roll". The opening bet in craps, which is placed just before the come out roll, is called the "pass line bet." Pass line bets win if the shooter's come out roll is 7 or 11, and lose when the come out roll is 2 (snake eyes), 3 (cross eyes), or 12 (box cars). If 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10 are rolled on the come out roll then that number becomes "the point". Once the point has been established a plastic disc (the puck) is placed on the table over the box for the number rolled as the point is "4, 5, six, 8, nine, or 10".
