Craps Guide
Craps
is a dice game played in casinos across the nation.
Preparatory Steps:
1. Learn the layout of the table.
2. Familiarize yourself with the payouts of winning bets.
3. Change money for chips at the craps table.
4. Place the chips in the groove at the edge of the table and shield
them with your body.
Tip: Avoid playing the proposition bets shown in the middle of the layout.
They pay out as described on the layout.
Notice the boxes with the numbers 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 and 10 on either side
of the middle of the layout. These are point numbers and pay the following
when you win:
4
pays 9-to-5
5 pays 7-to-5
6 pays 7-to-6
8 pays 7-to-6
9 pays 7-to-5
10 pays 9-to-5
Notice the boxes to the side and below the Field; these are the Pass Line and Don't Pass Bar boxes. Placing a chip on either of these boxes is, respectively, a bet that the shooter will make the point (roll a 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10) or roll a 7 or an 11. Pass and Don't Pass bets pay even money.
Notice the boxes to the side and below the point number boxes; these are the Come and Don't Come Bar boxes. Placing a chip on either of these boxes is, respectively, a bet that a point number will or will not repeat after being established. Come and Don't Come bets pay even money. Notice the box with the numbers 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11 and 12. This is the Field. Placing a chip in this box is a bet that one of these numbers will be hit after a point number has been established.
In Las Vegas, the layout will contain a Big 6 and 8 box. Placing a chip
in this box is a bet that either a 6 or an 8 will be rolled after the
come-out roll and before a 7 is rolled.
