Craps casino rules

Craps game is played at a specially created table with the special markings. To start the game one player must shoot the dice, but as the craps playing rule says the shot must be done in a right way. Firstly, it is forbidden to roll the dice with two hands, the dice must be hold in one hand or the roll is considered to be not legal. Moreover, after the roll the dice must jump off the end of the table, nevertheless if this rule is not followed the dice throw can not be counted. Before the very premiere throw which is called "Coming out Roll" the gambler places his bets on the special betting space on the table. This space is separated into three parts according to their purpose. These three parts have the markings which shows the Pass and Don't Pass Bets, Come and Don't Come Bets, Field Bets, Place Bets, and Proposition Bets. In case the gambler places the Pass line bet he or she has the probability to win if number 7 or 11 occurs. When a 2, 3, or 12 comes out the craps player loses. Other occurring numbers in the come out roll are a "point". According to the craps playing rule if  the "point" occurs the dice must be thrown again and again till a 7 or 11 falls out and in that case the player wins.

The craps player which chooses a Don't Pass Bet can win only when a 2 or 3 occurs however if either a 7 or 11 appears the bet is losing. In case that was the second throw after the point appeared, a Point Roll, so the dice are thrown again and again until the same point appears. This time the craps player is winner if a 7 or 11 is rolled first, but if the same point is rolled first, the craps player is loser. In case the other numbers are thrown the dice are thrown again until the mentioned numbers appear.

Come Bet is similar to the Pass Line bet, but as the rules state this bet can be made only when point comes out on the pass line bet. It is indicated after the very first roll. The 7 and 11 numbers will win while the 2, 3, and 12 are losers. Again the come point is to be rolled over and over.

Don't Come Bet is the reverse of Come Bet, that’s why according to the craps playing rule basics in case the 2 or 3 appears the gambler is winner, but if a 7 or 11 comes up the player loses.
