Game rules
Craps is a game in which set of players can participate at once. Craps are played at the big table with high boards and pair of dice which are thrown by the marksman. In game two playing dice are used. Result of each throw is the combination of the dropped dice and the sum of numbers from 2 to 12.
Game consists of two stages when bones are dropped. These stages are called the first throw in a round - «Come Out Roll» when the number «Point» is defined and all subsequent throws after number definition «Point» - «Point Roll».
Before the game winning rates («Pass Line») or loosing ones («Don’t Pass Line») are placed for the player dropping dice. Other rates, except «Сome» and «Don’t Come» are also allowed. Further the first throw is made. After the first throw the following combinations are possible:
Craps (the sum of points is equal to 2, 3, 12) - the rate «Pass Line» loses, the rate «Don’t Pass Line» wins in the relation 1:1 at drop of 2 or 3 and simply comes back to the player at drop of 12.
Natural (the sum of points is equal to 7 or 11) - the rate «Don’t Pass Line» loses, the rate «Pass Line» wins in the relation 1:1.
Point (the sum of points is equal to 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 12) - the dropped number in this case is fixed.
In a stage «Point Roll» the rates «Pass Line» and «Don’t Pass Line» are played under such scheme: dice are thrown until 7 doesn’t drop out or «Point». In this case the rate «Pass Line» loses, and «Don’t Pass Line» wins 1:1. In case of drop of «Point», on the contrary, «Pass Line» wins 1:1, and «Don’t Pass Line» loses. Thus at both stages of game the player can do various additional rates.
After the end of draw game again begins with the first round. Rates on «Pass/Don’t Pass Line» are accepted only before the first round; however, there are similar rates under the name «Come» and «Don’t Come» which are accepted always, except the first round.
