If you are wanting excitement, noise and more entertainment than you can likely bear, then craps is simply the game to play.

Craps is a quick-paced gambling game with whales, low-rollers, and everyone in the middle. If you are a people-watcher this is one casino game that you will love to observe. There is the whale, buying in with a huge amount of money and making loud declarations when she bets across the board, "Five Hundred and Twenty across," you will hear the whale say. She’s the gambler to observe at this game and they know it. They will either win big-time or lose big-time and there is no in between.

There’s the low-roller, most likely trying to acquaint himself with the whales. He will let the other bettors of books she’s read up on, on dice throwing and converge on the hottest player at the table, ready to talk and "pick each others brains".

There is the disciple of Frank Scoblete latest craps class. Even though Frank is the best there is, his disciple must do his homework. This guy will take 5 mins to setup his dice, so apply understanding.

My favorite people at the table are the real gentlemen from the good old times. These elderly gents are usually tolerant, almost always congenial and will very likely always share advice from the "great old days."

When you take the plunge and choose to join the game, be sure you use good etiquette. Find a spot on the rail and put your money down in front of you in the "come" spot. Never do this when the pair of dice are moving or you’ll be referred to as the very last personality I wanted to talk about, the jerk.
