POPULAR CASINO GAMES  CRAPS

Craps - At land based casinos, craps games can jolt you from all angles with its quick and crowded gameplay. Playing online gives you the opportunity to learn the rules and make smart bets that will increase the likelihood of winning. The positive news is that there are more good bets to make than bad bets, so the range of difficulty isn't high at all.

The objective of the game is to bet on dice roll results by a shooter (person rolling the dice). Player can bet on any dice roll result. To keep shooting, the shooter must keep winning otherwise the dice is passed on to the next person. First, the shooter rolls a pair of dice in an initial ¨come-out¨ roll. If it adds up to 7 or 11, they win and roll the dice again. If the totals are 2, 3, or 12, the shooters loses and the dice is passed on to the next player. A value of 4-6 or 8-10 allows the shooter to keep on rolling, and the numbers that show up are coined ¨the point.¨ After a come-out roll makes a point, the shooter continues to shoot until he matches the come-out roll again or until they roll a 7. Other players positioned around the table must place bets on the come out rolls and the rolls thereafter. Players can bet for or against the shooter. Betting against the shooter is widely considered disrespectful, so online gambling could present a more comfortable way of betting against your counterpart.
