Title

How to Play Craps

Description

You're in the casino when you hear a bunch of people start cheering. You head over and see them standing around a big wooden tub with lots of arcane markings and stacks of chips placed hither and yon. Someone tosses a pair of dice, a man with a big curved stick yells &ldquoYo!”, and everyone cheers again. Baffling? If so, then it's time to learn craps! In this interactive workshop you'll learn the rules and what all the different bets mean. You'll get to throw the dice and come away knowing how to play one of the most exciting games in the casino.
