Learning how to play craps can at times be as enjoyable as playing craps as it’s a highly interactive spectator sport.

Your interaction on average is limited to placing bets and cheering on the shooter (or jeering him as the case may be) and in some cases teaching others how to play.

The Die is passed around the table from person to person in a clock wise rotation. It’s considered rude to insert yourself into the rotation early (placing yourself in rotation to recieve the die as one of the next couple of shooters).

To be a shooter while you play you must have a bet on the table.

Once you’re a shooter you quite simply roll until you loose. There’s nothing like hitting a streak in Craps with an excitable table. They go nuts with every roll. It’s quite a lot of fun.

As an observer, get involved, but don’t lean into the table enough so that the die may hit you. It’s considered bad luck.

Of course many of the rules on how to play craps apply exclusively to playing craps in a casino. To play craps online, you simple need the software. Until they develop highly interactive multi-person craps games, when you play craps online now you’ll be playing alone.

Which is still however a great way to learn the nuances of how to play craps.
