And then there isn’t just one dealer like at the blackjack table or roulette wheel, but four!
A bead of sweat tickles your brow and you walk away from the intimidating Craps table and decide to invest your money at the Wheel of Fortune slot machine or tackle a few hands at the three-card poker table.
Go Back!

Welcome to the Craps Table!
You’ve heard the sudden bursts of cheers as you’ve strolled past the crowded Craps table.
You have even seen the countless TV shows and movies with the dice flying in slow motion over the green felt before knocking against the wall. The dealer barks out, Winner!
and then the table roars with applause.
Now you want in.
But as you step up to an empty, unused craps table in a Vegas casino just to survey the complex boxes with terms like Field
and Pass Line
, you’re hesitant. You have second thoughts about going to an active table and putting $20 down because it just seems so impossible to play.
And then there isn’t just one dealer like at the blackjack table or roulette wheel, but four!
A bead of sweat tickles your brow and you walk away from the intimidating Craps table and decide to invest your money at the Wheel of Fortune slot machine or tackle a few hands at the three-card poker table.
