Craps

Craps is a dice game in which the players make wagers on the outcome of the roll, or a series of rolls, of a pair of dice. Players may wager money against each other (playing “street craps”, also known as “shooting dice” or “rolling dice”) or a bank (playing “casino craps”, also known as “table craps”, or often just “craps”). Because it requires little equipment, “street craps” can be played in informal settings.

Bank craps or casino craps is a game played by multiple or a single player betting on the outcome of the dice. The players and casino employees stand or sit around a large oval craps table. In most houses sitting at a craps table is discouraged unless a player has medical reasons for requiring a seat.
