Up to around 20 players can play at a craps table. Each player will take a turn throwing the dice. Each new game of craps starts with what is called a roll called the Come Out. This roll can only be made once the prior shooter stops making winning rolls.

The new game commences with a different shooter. If he or she does throw a winning roll, they roll until they are no longer a winner and the next person on their left starts a new game.

A craps table is separated into two sides with a center area. The sides contain areas called Pass and Don’t Pass bets, Come and Don’t Come bets, Odds bets, place bets, and field bets. Pass bets win when the roll is a seven or eleven and loses when it is a two, three, or twelve while don’t pass bets is the exact opposite.
