Playing, or maybe we should say throwing, with dice has at times been an entertaining game that has created community in all types of communities and families. When it comes to casino games in general, the theories behind the game's provenance tend to be several in number and this is true even with craps. Perhaps the most likely explanation is that it comes from the hazard game. Craps was actually called crapaud in an early era, which is a French word for toad and it was based on the fact that at that time the game was played on sidewalks or floors where the players, like toads, leaned over the game dice.
The betting system was developed as a way to prevent players from cheating with so-called rigged game dice and in connection with this was added a feature which meant that players could choose to play with or against the shooter (the one who throws the dice). So what is the reason why craps has become such a popular game on land-based casinos as well as online? Probably it is the simplicity but also the easy accessibility that underlies this. You do not need any prior knowledge to play craps, but you can quickly get into the game because neither rules nor layouts are particularly complicated. In addition, the game is open to all types of players.
Regardless of which variation of craps you choose to play online, the actual game play takes place on a virtual craps board where the computer handles the actual dice throwing for you. Otherwise, there really isn't much that differentiates craps online from classic craps out in the casino halls. The board is basically the same in terms of appearance and is very similar to a pool table. The game as such is about the game's two game dice rolling right, that is, on something you bet on. Shooter is the name of the person who throws the dice and in traditional crap games this role is rotated among the participating players.
So you have to keep thumbs and toes for the game's two dice to roll right and land on one of your bets to win. The score itself starts counting as the first roll occurs, which is called Come Out Roll. The bets in craps are many but you can easily remember the most common ones, which are the ones you will use the most initially. When you get a little warmer in your clothes you can focus your playing on a little more advanced bets and then a smart move is to learn a little more in-depth about the bets.
