The game of craps has a long history spanning several cultures with roots from the Arab world to Roman times. The version of the game we play today though comes from the English game Hazard which was a hit with taverns in the 17th century.

The game may, to beginners, appear to have a lot of confusing lingo but it’s easy to understand once you know the basic bets like pass and don’t pass and what numbers on the dice get you a win or loss. Betting starts with a dice roll on the come out roll which the shooter wins with a 7 or 11 and loses with a 2, 3 or 12. Any other value takes you to the point round. Every player on the table can bet on one player’s turn to shoot. The dice go around in this fashion as each player chooses whether to roll the dice or not.

Once you have all the bets figured out you can play the game with mastery and improved strategy. However, a beginner is safest going with the pass bet which is easy enough to play.
