Craps
The Dice Dilemma
Why the casino's most exciting game just looks complicated

Blackjack players approach their game with the studiousness of a professor. Roulette players are like cartologists, mapping their way around the multi-numbered layout. Baccarat players are serious gamblers, with their emotions riding the game's twists and turns. And slot players stare at their machines with a mind-numbing expression, only breaking their motion to quickly celebrate a win.

But over in the corner, you hear some yelling and rooting. You see a crowd of people gathered around what appears to be a pit, but is actually a craps game. Craps, or dice, is easily the casino's most exciting game. When the dice are falling the right way, there are few other experiences that rival the camaraderie that the players feel at that table. As the shooter rolls number after number (but no seven, please), craps can be exhilarating, and more importantly, profitable.

But craps can also be the most frustrating of all casino games. Because to play craps successfully, you have to understand how to place and decipher a variety of bets, it's important to stay alert and positive. But that is rarely possible when ever other role is a "Seven out!"
