The game of Casino Craps has evolved from the various games of dice played for thousands of years in many different cultures around the world. It is the fastest and most exciting game in the casino. Though there are many rules and variations to the game, the basics are easy to learn quickly.

Craps can be a real nerve-racking game for the beginner. The table seems to have about a hundred different kinds of bets, the players are barking out commands in what seems to be a foreign language, and the pace is too fast to ever ask a question. I can sympathize with the beginner, because at one point in time this was how craps appeared to me.

If this is how you view the game, I have good news. There is one fundamental bet, the "pass line" bet, that almost all players make. You can easily get by knowing just this bet your first time. As you get more experienced, you can add more bets to your repertoire. After just your first five minutes, you should feel comfortable with the flow of the game and can start acting natural, like you've been a craps player for years.
