If you are wanting excitement, noise and more fun than you might be able to bear, then craps is the only game to play.

Craps is a quick-paced game with whales, budget gamblers, and everyone in the middle. If you are a people-watcher this is one casino game that you’ll like to observe. There is the big spender, gambling with a huge amount of money and making boisterous announcements when she bets across the board, "520 dollars across," you’ll hear him say. She’s the player to observe at this game and they know it. The whale will either win big-time or lose big-time and there’s no in the middle.

There’s the low-roller, most likely trying to acquaint himself with the whales. He will inform the other bettors of books she’s read on dice throwing and converge on the most accomplished shooter at the table, prepared to confer and "pick each others brains".

There’s the student of Frank Scoblete latest craps workshop. While Frank is the best there is, his disciple must do his homework. This guy will require five minutes to setup his dice, so practice patience.

My preferred players at the craps table are the undeniable gentlemen from the old days. These elderly guys are usually composed, mostly congenial and most likely will always give hints from the "good old days."

When you take the plunge and decide to join the game, be sure you utilize good etiquette. Locate a place on the rail and place your cash on the table in front of you in the "come" area. Never ever do this when the pair of dice are being tossed or you will be known as the very last personality I wanted to talk of, the jerk.
