How to Play Craps

"Hi, I'm Joseph Hickerson, pit manager in a local casino and on behalf of Expert Village, I am going to give the introduction on how to play casino style craps. In this clip we're going to discuss the object of the game. Even though a crap table can seem confusing, it's actually quite simple. The object of this game is for a shooter to establish a point, then re-roll that point before he rolls a seven. It all starts with the pass line bets. In this example, the shooter rolled an eight. Now, the game is on. If he rolls another eight, it's a winner. If he rolls a seven, the shooter loses. A new series begins when a shooter takes over the dice. He establishes his point by rolling a four, five, six, eight, nine or ten. These are point numbers but because every roll of the dice counts, what happens if he doesn't roll a point number?
