It is very important to understand the words
used in the game before you can understand the game.
A pass is a successful roll or series of rolls. People betting
on the shooter being successful can place their bets on pass.
Those who want to bet that he won't be successful place their
bets on dont pass.
The first roll in a sequence is called a come out. If the
dice comes out a 7 or an 11, it's called a natural, and everone
who bet on pass wins automatically and a new come out is rolled.
If the come out is a 4,5,6,8,9, or 10, that number becomes
the shooter's point. The player wins if the point occurs before
a 7 is rolled. If so, pass wins, and a new come out is rolled.
If a 7 appears after the come out and before the point re-occurs,
the player has sevened-out, pass bets lose, don't pass bets
win, and a new come out is rolled.
When the come out is a 2,3, or 12 - a crap - all pass bets
lose and most don't pass bets win. Bets can be placed before
each roll of the dice.
