Glossary

The player who is rolling the dice is called the "shooter". The first roll in a round of Craps is called the "Come Out" roll. If the shooter rolls a 7 or 11, they win. If the shooter rolls a 2, 3 or 12, that's a Craps and they lose. If any other number is rolled it becomes the "Point". The purpose of the "Come Out" roll is to set the Point, which can be 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10. The Dealer places a puck marked "On" above the Point number printed on the table.

The shooter's objective now is to roll the "Point" again before a 7 is rolled, called the "Out 7". If the Point is rolled, the shooter and his fellow bettors win and the round is over. If the shooter rolls "Out 7", they lose and the round is over. If the roll is neither the "Point" nor "Out 7", the shooter continues to roll until they get the "Point" or "Out 7".

All bets must be placed before the shooter rolls. There are numerous ways of betting on Craps, including One Roll Bets, Pass Line Bets, Don't Pass Bets and Come Bets.
