Craps- Layout and Procedure

-Layout-

The craps table is about the size of a regulation pool table, but has high sides to keep to two dice in bounds. The inner walls are cushioned to allow the dice to bounce energetically off the wall. The pattern of betting possibilities never includes all possible bets, the surface varies with local or regional policy. Players place bets with the help of a dealer. The presiding authority is the boxman. He monitors the transactions between the dealers and players. He makes sure the dealers place chips where the players designate, and make sure they make accurate payoffs. When a disagreement arises between players and dealers, the boxman resolves it. The player usually gets the benefit of the doubt on first complaint. The dealers usually keep the game going at a pace comfortable to all players, so there bets can all be placed appropriately.

 

-Procedure-

The way craps works, there is no limit to the amount of players on a table at one time. (Limits will only be set by individual casino servers). Everyone can bet on or against a successful roll of the dice. The shooter can bet against himself, as the other players can bet on his rolls. Everyone at the table can be included, and the limits to your bets are boundless!
