The game of dice and their use in gambling dates back to 5000 years ago.
We have found dice in Sumerian royal graves in Ur (ancient Chaldea, today Iraq). In ancient Rome and Greece, people used to play with cubic dice (6 faces). Like in the contemporary game, the total points of two opposite faces was 7 (1+6; 2+5; 3+4).
The dice used to play craps are the same that are used in several other games. They are cubes with 6 faces with the numbers from 1 to 6 on them.
In order to play craps you need a support, a table on which each match takes place.
A regular match of craps, needs some dealers to be played according to the rules.
There are four dealers around a table considered to be “normal”. Each of them needs to stay in a specific place and has got a specific role.
In the game of craps, the player who throws the dice is the one who makes a “shooter”.
S/he throws the dice in the attempt to make a combination of two numbers. All of the players around the table (between 14 and 16) have the possibility to throw the dice, one by one.
