Craps Variations
|
Craps has several main variations, which allow the game to be played in many different environments.
- Bank Craps, the most widely known and played version of craps, can be found in most casinos. Players may wager for or against the shooter, but bets cannot be made against each other; all bets must be placed with the house. Chips are used in place of cash, and both the table layout and rules are standard.
- New York Craps can be found in many illegal gambling houses on the eastern coast of the United States and in certain parts of Eastern Europe. Players must buy box numbers 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, and 10, which include a five percent dealer charge. The table layout does not include spaces for Come or Don`t Come bets. A `lookout` sits on a stand high above the table to monitor the game.
- Scarney Craps is a mix of both Bank Craps and New York Craps. The game lacks a space for Come and Don`t Come bets and does not have a dealer charge. Scarney Craps makes use of proposition betting and generally pays a unit more than Bank Craps.
- Private Craps is an informal version of craps played with real cash. The game can be played on any surface suitable for dice rolling. Players determine who goes first by the highest roller, then the shooter places his cash in the `center` in front of him as his center bet while other players bet against him. Players may change their bets at any time if the shooter does not roll an immediate win or loss on his come out throw.
- Money Craps is played with cash and allows players to choose if they would like to bet against each other or the house. Betting options include the Lose Line, Win Line, and box numbers. Players have the option of using the `Book` to place their bets for them, but he charges five percent on the total amount bet. The house limits in this craps version are extremely high, varying from game to game, and can be played indoors or outdoors.
