Craps Rules - How to Play Craps

Craps rules can be brought down to How to Play Craps. One player holds the control of the dice at one time, called the shooter. Their throw dictates the success or failure of all the bets that have been placed on the table. Who has the control of the dice follows in a clockwise direction according to craps rules, and each player has an opportunity. The control of the dice remains in one player's and until he or she rolls a seven. You may also pass on your turn if your do not chose to roll the dice. When the player is ready, the stickman supplies that person with the dice by using a stick. There are usually 5 or 6 dice offered to the shooter, from which they select 2, again according to known craps rules.

Before rolling the dice the shooter my make a bet, either a Pass Line or a Don't Pass line. Then the shooter rolls the dice, hopefully hitting the walls of the table on the opposite end of the table from themselves. The dice should roll the entire length. This come-out roll establishes the point that must be repeated, before a seven is rolled. This happens in the following circumstances:

• When the person who previously controlled the dice has shot a seven
• When there is a new person in control of the dice and they are shooting for the first time.
• When a shooter has rolled either a seven or eleven on a previous "come-out" roll of the dice.
• When they have rolled craps (a dice face count of 2,3, or 12) on a previous "come-out"
• When the shooter has repeated a point without rolling a seven.
