Event: Craps Day 7/11
The casino game Craps is a fast-paced game that involves gamblers standing shoulder-to-shoulder around a table, barking bets at dealers, all the while following strategies in hopes of making easy money. It is reminiscent of the trading pits of old in Chicago and New York.
In Craps it all begins with the Come Out roll, a fresh round with a clean table ready for new bets. With the dice ready to fly, if a 7 or 11 (known as a Natural) is rolled, the table will go crazy with shouts of encouragement, and the house will immediately pay the Pass Line bets.
