Some Fun Craps Terminology

  • Box Cars: This is when the Shooter rolls two 6’s.
  • 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.
  • Craps Out: This is when the Shooter rolls a two, three or twelve on the come-out roll.
  • Cross Eyes: Not a squint player! This is when the Shooter rolls a total of 3.
  • 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, 7 loses and any other number does not affect the Pass Line bet. The Shooter rolls until he makes the Point, or rolls a 7.
  • Point: This is a number - 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10, that the Shooter is trying to roll to win the Pass Line bet.
  • Shooter: The Player that rolls the dice.
  • Snake Eyes: This is when the Shooter rolls two 1’s.
