The game cycle starts as you place chips - or have the dealer place them - onto the marked betting boxes on the table. Minimum craps bets typically begin at $5.

After you elbow your way in and claim a spot at the rail, you need to get some chips to play with. Wait until after the dealers pay out the winning bets and the dice are sitting idle at the center of the table in front of the boxman. Then ask the dealer for chips by saying “Change please.”
Dealers can’t take money directly from your hand, so drop the bills on the table. If the dealer is busy doing something else, just wait a few seconds. The crew has its own ways to keep track of all the players. After the dealer notices your bills, she takes them and slides a stack of chips back to you. Pick them up and put them in your rail rack — the two grooves on the rim of the table that act as trays for your casino chips.

Casting the dice

The dice are the heart and soul of the craps game. No doubt, you know a die (the singular form of dice) when you see it: that six-sided cube, one to six dots (or pips) marking each face.
In the game of craps, the objective is to bet on the outcome of the roll. So you can help yourself by understanding the various combinations of dice throws. Take a look at Figure 8-1. A pair of dice has 36 possible ways to land on a given throw, which means that you have a 1-in-36 chance of rolling any single combination. But for the most part, the dice total is what matters in craps. A 7 is still a 7, whether the dice come up 5 and 2, 6 and 1, or 3 and 4. Because some totals have multiple combinations, certain rolls are more likely than others.
Craps are also available in the slots online casinos.
