Dice Numbers In Craps

The shooter has just received the dice and is on his come-out roll. If he rolls any of the point numbers above on his come-out roll, that constitutes the 1-count. If he rolls a 2, 3, 7, 11, or 12 on the come-out, the count has not started yet.

As craps uses two standard six-sided dice, it is important to first understand there are a total of 36 possible dice rolls. From this, some numbers have a statistically higher chance of landing because they have more combinations on the dice roll. For example, there are exactly six ways to roll a seven: 1 and 6. Here’s a collection of our favorite names for dice combinations in craps. Because the number seven is the most frequently rolled number on the dice, it has the most nicknames. Sevens, by the way, are jerks, except on what’s called the “come-out roll.”.

Numbers

The shooter's first roll of the dice is known as the come-out roll and he wins if he throws 7 or 11 (known as a natural) and loses if he throws a 2, 3, or 12 (known as craps). Any other number (4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10) is known as the shooter's point and the shooter continues to roll the dice until he either rolls his point number again or he rolls a 7. If the shooter rolls his point number before a 7, he wins. If the shooter rolls a 7 before his point number, he loses. Once the round is decided, a new round is played as before with a new come-out roll.

The shooter continues to roll the dice in subsequent rounds until he rolls a 7 when trying for his point number. The player to his left may then become the new shooter unless he declines, in which case the next player to the left may take up the dice, and so on, until someone takes up the position.
