Craps

Meaning and Definition of Craps in Gambling

The term craps defines a high-stakes dice game governed by specific wagering protocols on the outcome of a single or multiple rolls of a pair of dice. Regulatory frameworks distinguish between street craps and table craps, with the latter being subject to rigorous operational standards in both terrestrial and digital casino environments. In a regulated setting, the game is facilitated by designated personnel, including a boxman for game supervision and a stickman responsible for dice management and result proclamation. Participating players, or shooters, engage in betting structures either in favor of or against specific outcome probabilities. Due to the high-velocity nature of the gameplay and the complexity of available wagering options, operators are often required to provide comprehensive procedural guides to ensure player transparency and compliance with jurisdictional gaming standards.
