Casino craps is a game with dice played in casinos all over the world. It is an interesting game though very difficult to play. The players have to rely on their tactics and lots of luck. In casino craps, the casino bank covers the bet of the players.  Running the game must include at least four players. The person sits in the middle of the table is the boss, or a boxman. He keeps a constant watch over the game. The two people sitting either side of him pay off the winners and rake in the losers’ chips. Each dealer handles all the players on his side.

The velocity of the game is controlled by the stickman. After seeing all bets are down, the stickman pushes a few sets of dice to the shooter. The players roll a pair of dice cross the table so that they hit the wall at the opposite end. In the 1st roll the following things may happen

Number Evolved                           Status

7/11                                            Natural – Win - you win the equivalent amount of       
chips you have bet on the pass line.

2/3/12                                         Craps – Lose - the dealer picks up your pass-line bet.                                                                                                                                                                                                  
However, the shooter does not relinquish the dice. He
continues to roll until he "sevens out”

4/5/6/8/9/10                                Box point - the object then is to keep rolling the dice                                                                                                                                                          
until you make that number again You lose, however,
if you roll a seven before making your box point.

Best places to bet – if you are betting the pass line, always take your full odds in back of your pass line bet. If double odds are offered, take the option. Increase your bets on wins; do not double up on losses.
