| Craps: The Game Rules in Full |
|
|
In order to play Home Craps, you have one of two options:
1) make a replica of a Craps tabletop, using whatever you can get your hands on, or
2) buy a green felt Craps tabletop which are available from the homepoker.com chipstore. The latter is obviously the more enviable option, as playing this game on a piece of cardboard might be a little less exciting and more cheap-looking.
In short, there will be very little of interest on this page unless you are actually able to play Home Craps, either at a friend's place or hosting it in your own home.
What you will find here are the rules, play, and hosting of Home Craps.
The stakes are alot smaller. The stakes in Home Craps would differ very little from the stakes of a night of Home Poker. The host would define the table's stakes, much as in Home Poker, as a nickel-table, dime-table, quarter-table, dollar-table, etc.
Payoffs are different. Las Vegas and Atlantic City casinos offer varying payoffs for certain bets on the Craps table. The host will need to define the table's payoffs, or remain satisfied with what is printed on the felt tabletop when you buy it. The experienced Craps player will find certain things on this page that may not comply with casino Craps rules...remember that this is Craps modified to fit the Home Poker table.
This is the Craps table...the one you buy at a store looks the same as the one you see in a casino. Any underlined links on this page will return you to this picture so that you can see on the table what is being referring to. Use your web browser's Back button to return to the point that you were reading.
Betting on the table is motivated by two things: 1) the rolling of the dice until 7 or a predetermined number are rolled, and 2) the one-shot, fast money bets. The first system of betting centers around the number that is designated as the point, while the second centers, for the most part, on certain combinations of dice rolled.
It is insignificant who picks up the dice and rolls them. It is not just the roller that is betting on the table, it is everybody but the host (from here on in, called the House) betting on what the roller will roll. A single player will continue to roll their dice until their turn comes to an end, at which point the dice are passed to another player who rolls until their turn comes to an end. But, the important thing to remember is the fact that the person rolling is not significant to the betting (unless you're superstitious). The roller could be anybody. The roller doesn't even have to bet, they can just roll. Or the roller can clutter the table with bets. It is only the outcome of the dice that is important.
