Object of Craps
A "shooter", the person rolling the dice, starts the game when all bets are down and the stick man pushes the dice to him to begin his roll. The shooter throws the dice across the table so they strike the farthest end of the table from where the shooter is standing.
This is so the dice cannot be controlled and the outcome cannot be predetermined. The first roll can have any of the following outcomes; Craps which is a 2,3 or a 12 and a loser, pass which is 7 or 11 and a winner, or a "point" number which can be 4,5,6,8,9,10. When the shooter throws a 2,3 or 12 everyone on the pass line loses, but the shooter may "keep" the dice or continue to roll. If a 7 or 11 is rolled everyone on the pass line wins and the shooter continues to throw.
When a 4,5,6,8,9, or 10 is thrown this becomes the shooters "point" and he continues to roll the dice until he (A) makes the "point" or (B) sevens out whichever comes first. If he makes his point he wins and is allowed to continue to roll the dice. If he rolls a seven while on a point he loses and the dice are passed to the next shooter and the process is repeated.
