Shooter
The Player that rolls the dice.
Come-Out Roll
This is any roll before a point is established. It is an attempt to win a Pass
Line bet by rolling 7 or 11. Pass Line bets lose if
the come-out roll is 2, 3 or 12. After rolling 7, 11, 2, 3 or 12, the Shooter
comes out again. If any other number is rolled, a Point is
established.
Point
This is a number - four, five, six, eight, nine or ten, that the Shooter is
trying to roll to win the Pass Line bet.
Establish a Point
This is when you roll a Point on the come-out roll.
Making a Point
This is when the Shooter re-rolls the Point, once it has
been established. Once a Point is established, re-rolling the Point
wins, seven loses and any other number does not affect the Pass Line
bet.
Note:
The Shooter rolls until he makes the Point, or rolls a seven.
Box Cars
This is when the Shooter rolls two 6’s.
Craps Out
This is when the Shooter rolls a two, three or twelve on the come-out roll.
