Craps is a dice game played by one or
more people. To begin, two dice are thrown by
the shooter (you) from one end of a table to the other and
is known as the "comeout roll" .
The dice
must hit the wall at the other end of the table to count.
The shooter then tries to establish a number 4,5,6,8 or
10. The dealer will then place a "puck" that
says "off" on one side and "on" on
the other. He will place this puck on the number rolled "on" side
up.It will always be "off" side up on the comeout
roll.
The shooter will then try to roll the
number again before he rolls a seven.
For detailed rules
and examples,

A craps table is run by four people:
A boxman who guards the chips, supervises
the dealers and handles coloring out players; two base
dealers who stand to either side of the boxman
and collect and pay bets; and a stickman who
stands directly across the table from the boxman and announces
the results of each roll and then collects the dice with
a wooden stick. He is also in charge of managing the bets
made on the center of the table.
