Craps Terms
Don’t you feel more comfortable in your environment if you know your surroundings,
how everything is dealt with and the lingo or terms that are used in association
with what is going on? Almost in everything we do anymore there is slang mumble
jumble and if we want to fully enjoy the activity we best be getting to know all
there is out there. Once you have it all down, it is like you are now part of
a private club. Maybe it is childish but maybe that is why games are fun.

called the "come out" roll. Pass bets win when the come out roll is
7 or 11, while pass bets lose when the come out roll is 2, 3, or 12. Don't bets
lose when the come out roll is 7 or 11, and don't bets win when the come out roll
is 2 or 3. Don't bets tie when the come out roll is 12 (2 in some casinos; the
"bar" roll on the layout indicates which roll is treated as a tie).
