Craps is a popular dice game typically played in a casino as well as informal settings. It is played with a pair of dice in which players bet on dice rolls. When one is playing Craps, money is then wagered against either the casino or the other players in the game. Hard Ways Bets are located in the center of the Craps table, and are placed by the dealer. Hard Ways may be bet on any roll. The four possible Hard Ways Bets are Hard Six (two 3's) and Hard.

Craps is one of the most exciting table games in any casino. The clinking of chips, the cheering and the colorful jargon (not to mention colorful characters) add up to an unforgettable game and what many consider to be an essential part of the Las Vegas experience.
Apr 20, 2017 The next time you are in the casino stop and listen when you approach the table games. From the craps pit, you will probably hear whooping and hollering as you see high-fives and other animated gestures coming from the players. Craps is by far the most exciting game in the casino and the players are not afraid to let their emotions show.
Craps, though, can sometimes be daunting to new players.
Never fear! We decided to get the inside scoop about craps from longtime casino pro, Guido Metzger, Director of Gaming Operations for the downtown casinos of Boyd Gaming. Boyd Gaming operates three downtown casinos, the Fremont Hotel & Casino, California Hotel & Casino and Main Street Station Casino, Brewery and Hotel.
Guido Metzger knows craps inside and out, so he gave us a quick video tutorial for beginners.
As Metzger says, the basics of the game are fairly straightforward, so stick to the two or three simple bets (pass line, plus odds—ask a dealer about the odds bet, because it's not marked on the table) until you become more comfortable at the craps table.
Remember, on the 'come out' roll, 7 or 11 wins and 2, 3, 12 lose. Seven is the most commonly-rolled number, so you're sitting pretty on the come out roll!
If another number is rolled, the number is marked by the dealers, and the shooter needs to hit that number again, before a 7, to win.
That's it! No, really. Everything else is flair.
Of course, the more you know, the fun there is to be had at craps.
Here are a few more craps tips from our resident craps whiz, Guido Metzger.
