The way that craps is played is slightly more involved. When a game starts, the dice are handed to a new player, and that player rolls the dice to establish a Point. Point numbers can be either 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10. If a player rolls any other number, they must roll again until they establish their point number.

Once a player establishes their point number, they have to shoot again until they roll their point number again. If the player shoots a 7 before they roll their point number for the second time, they seven out, and loose the game, and the next player takes their turn.
