How To Shoot Dice (with Pictures) - WikiHow

Shooting dice, also known as street craps, is a classic gambling game where one player (the shooter) rolls a pair of dice and the other players place bets on the outcome of the roll. To start the game, all of the players “ante up” by contributing a small pre-determined amount of money to the pot. Each player then takes a turn rolling the dice and whoever gets the highest roll is the shooter for that round. The shooter picks the betting amount they want to wager, puts the money in the pot, and chooses between 2 betting options: "pass" or "crap." To “pass,” the shooter must roll a 7 or 11 on the initial roll. To “crap,” the shooter has to roll a 2, 3, or 12 on the initial roll. The other players must match the shooter’s wager and choose between “pass” or “crap” before the game can continue. Then, the shooter rolls the dice and if one of the “pass” or “crap” values is reached on the first roll, the game is over and the bets are distributed accordingly to the winners. If the shooter neither passes nor craps out on the first roll, then the number rolled becomes the "point." Now, the only values that matter for the rest of this round are the point value and 7; "pass" and "crap" are no longer relevant. The shooter keeps rolling the dice while everyone watches until either the point or 7 is reached. All bets that the shooter would "pass" are now bets that the shooter will re-roll the value of the point before rolling a 7. All bets that the shooter would “crap” are now bets that 7 will be rolled first. As soon as the shooter rolls the point or 7, the game is over and the pot is distributed evenly to the winners. To start a new round, the players ante up, roll the dice to decide who the new shooter will be, and gameplay continues.
