As a new player I don't
think I can stress this part of play the most. Craps is a very
mature game. The players are often experienced and rules of play
are very specific (that's why you have 4 casino employees at every
table).
That being said, it
is also a game that is extremely social and encourages new comers.
I guess the best way
explain it, would be a story about the first time I played in
Ceasars back when I was in University. The table was great, everyone
around me was playing anywhere from $100 to $3K on a roll. So
it was a fun table with lots of action.
All the players were
extremely helpful. Each in turn would point out things to me,
almost taking me under their wing.
At one point I threw
down a bet in the horn. The stickman and both dealers didn't see
me place the bet and while it was only a $10 bet when the roll
came in, it took 15 minutes for the Boxman to sort out the resulting
confusion, much to the annoyance of the whole table.
The shooter had been
on a roll and my screw up had killed the rythim of the game.
While the reception
wasn't cold, I did have a couple of players tell me to never do
that again.
I also drew a warning
from the Boxman.
So be careful, know
the rules, and play safe.
In this section, I've
included links on How to play, How to bet and some of the superstitions
that evolve around the game.
