Playing craps

The players form a ring around the playing surface (floor, table, bed, etc.), which is known as the center. In a small casino, lottery game, each player may roll the dice once and the one rolling the highest total shoots first.

This is his center bet and other play. era are invited to fade it. The shooter is betting he will win; the players who fade him are betting he will lose.
The shooter takes the dice In his hand and rolls them out, preferably so that they hit a wall and bounce back, if the playing area affords the means to enforce this rule.

So long as the shooter wins, he remains the shooter. But he may voluntarily pass the dice to the man at his left when the current bets are settled. When the shooter wins it is known as a pass, when he loses, it is known as a miss.
