The game of Craps

Rules of play:1. Played with two dice (six faces to a die – numbers 1-6 per face)2. Sequence of betting rounds (or just rounds)3. At least one roll of the dice per round – sum the numbers on each4. The 1st roll is called the “come out roll”5. If come out roll produces 2,3,7,11, or 12, the round is over6. Otherwise the sum (4,5,6,8,9,10) is called the point7. Rolls continue until either point is made or a 7 is rolled8. Then the round ends.

Types of Bet:1. Pass line bet: Bettor wins if the come out roll is a natural (7, 11) and loses if it is craps (2, 3, 12). If a point is rolled (4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10) it must be repeated before a 7 is thrown in order to win. If 7 is rolled before the point is made, the bettor loses. 2. Come bet: Same rules as the pass line bet. However, the bettor can make this bet only after the point on the pass line has been determined.

The first roll after placing the bet sets the come point. The bettor wins if it is a natural (7, 11) and loses if it is craps (2, 3, 12). The bettor wins on other rolls if the come point is repeated before a 7 is rolled and loses if a 7 is rolled first.

3. Don't pass line bet: Opposite of the pass line bet. Ex: (7, 11) loses on come out

4. Don't come bet: Opposite of come bet. Ex: 1st roll after come point wins if (2,3,12)
