The craps table is undoubtedly the loudest, most energetic, and most intimidating area on any casino floor.
Once you understand the basic flow of the game, the intimidating layout starts to make perfect sense.
Almost everyone at the table plays the Pass Line, as it represents betting with the shooter to win.
If the first roll of the dice is a 7 or an 11, the entire table celebrates and you double your money.
Because the game is so fast-paced and physical, strict etiquette rules must be followed to keep things moving safely.
Always buy your chips when the dice are in the center of the table, never while the shooter is preparing to throw.
| Rule of Etiquette | Why It Matters | Consequence of Breaking It |
|---|---|---|
| Hands up when dice roll | Dice hitting hands alters the roll | You will anger everyone at the table |
| Never say the word ‚Seven‘ | It is considered incredibly bad luck | You will be glared at by superstitious players |
Do not be afraid to tell the dealers you are new; they are usually very helpful and will guide you through the bets.
