Playing craps isn't as hard as you might think. The first time you ever get to a craps table, make a small bet on the pass line. The pass line is the strip that runs all around the craps table's layout. This small bet that you just made on the pass line is a bet on the first throw of the dice is a bet on the come-out roll. At this point, you're hoping to roll a 7 or an 11 if you're the shooter, or hope that the person who is throwing the dice rolls a 7 or an 11. On the come-out roll, a 7 or an 11 is a winner automatically, so if that happens, you're already a winner. On the other hand, if the shooter rolls a 2, a 3, or a 12, then he's rolled "craps", which is an automatic loss. Any other number establishes a pass-line point. The shooter's goal at this point is to roll this number again before rolling a 7. If he does roll the pass-line point before rolling a 7, then again, you win. But if he rolls a 7 before rolling the pass-line point, then you lose, and the hand ends. In this case, the dice move to another player, who becomes the new shooter.
