Casino craps is a very popular game.  Playing craps in a casino can be a really fun way to make some fast money.  Casinos make playing craps very easy to do and there are many people who love to play craps. If you are in a casino and you find the loudest and most rowdy table that is probably the craps table and if you like to play craps you should hang out around that table.

 

For those people who do not know how to play craps you can easily learn.  There are plenty of books that are just full of information about how to play the game of craps in a casino.  You can also look online to find out as much information as you possibly can.  I have to say though I feel that the best way to learn how to play the game of craps is to actually take lessons on how to play craps in a casino.  Yes a casino will actually teach you how to play a game and how to gamble.  See the reason behind this is because if you do not know how to play one of the casino games like craps at all then you will probably not try but if you take a class and learn how to play a basic game of craps then you will try to play.  Then the casino has you playing another game and their chances of winning your money greatly increased over when you were not playing any game at all. So why would they not want to teach people how to play their games. 

 

Some of the basics about craps that you should know though are very simple.  First the game is played with a pair of dice.  One person will throw the pair of dice down the craps table and this person is called the "shooter".  Craps is a game that is played in rounds.  So the first round that the shooter throws is called the "come out roll".  This roll is the very first of the rounds.  If the shooter rolls the two dice and the total of both are 2,3,7,11,or the number 12 then the round ends right there and then and another come out roll is thrown.  If a 2, or a 3, or a 12 is rolled it is called craps and the numbers 7 and 11 are called a "natural" or sometimes those two numbers are called a "win".  On the come out roll if a 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or a 10 is rolled then that number becomes what is known as the "point". Ok so now the shooter will roll again and if there was a point on the come out roll the shooter will need to roll the dice over and over again until either the point is rolled again or a seven is rolled.  Now if the point is rolled again then the round ends and the shooter continues to roll the dice.  If however a seven is rolled then this is called a "seven out" then the round ends and the shooter will pass the dice to the next person on their left.  Then this person now becomes the new shooter.

 

Now craps is not a confusing game once you have the basics of the whole game.  There are plenty of people who love it and even though there is a lot to remember about how to play the game after a while it is all second nature.  So the information in this article has only covered the basics of the throwing of the dice and now you know how to be a shooter and what you need to do.
