Play Casino Craps

ive seen this happening continuously in the dice game craps. im just curious. also, why do people snap their fingers right after they roll the dice, before the dice even stop rolling? what good does that do? is it good luck?
and also how many people do you need to play the game craps? if you are playing with 1 person only, do you say “i bet you a dollar ill win” and then you hit a 7 or 11 and win that 1 dollar. is that how its played? and if you play with like 3 or 4 people and you bet, who are you betting againts and who is going to pay you if you win? and im not talking about casino craps, just regular basic also known as “street” craps.

I live in IL and was visiting a casino in California where they play craps with cards instead of dice. Why in the world are the laws in California against dice games?

Officially, the game was originally called “crabs” by the people who invented it (I don’t remember why it was called crabs). When the game was brought to the U.S. in the south, the pronunciation was “craps” and the name stuck.
Personally, I prefer the other version of the tale. Before gambling was completely legal, there used to be an employee in illegal gambling halls who’s sole responsability was to eat the dice in case of a police raid. That’s why they call it “craps”.

Coz they already have Craps toilet bowls, silly.

The ones in Oklahoma have craps.
