Craps is a game using 2 dice, which are tossed onto a table and bounced off the table's wall. Casino craps uses a felt covered table, which features different areas that symbolize all of the betting option for each game. The players will place their bets and chips on these areas before the dealer gives the shooter the dice. Once the shooter has the dice no more bets are allowed. The players all take turns as the shooter and some may even pass to the next player.
Street craps is essentially the same game yet most popular among friends and urban cultures. This game utilizes curbs and stairs rather than the casino version, which uses a table. This is how the game really gained its fame and popularity. Since craps is played using dice, players can participate with friends without having to go to a casino in order to do so. And with online casinos all over the web, these players can also take part in their games in the comfort of their own homes.
