Tips for Hosting Home Craps Games

By Matthew Sagehouse

Craps is a very exciting and high energy game that is very popular in the casinos. Would you like to have the excitement of this game in your home? Well, you're in luck, because there are a wide variety of craps supplies available for your home.

The luxurious and fancy casino style craps table should be hard to duplicate, with the smooth shiny felt, fancy mirrors, and stylish pyramid rubber bumpers. These special features combined with the elegant wood work and padded rails make the task difficult but not impossible, since there are several options available with all of these features.

If you need something that is easier to store when you are finished with it, then you should consider purchasing a craps felt layout. These layouts are made of felt and have printed on them, a craps game layout. You can spread them out on your kitchen or dining room table and when you are finished, they can be folded up to be easily put away.

One of the most important parts of the game of craps is the dice. You can choose to purchase regular casino play dice or you can opt to purchase a set of high quality, precision dice that have been serialized. These dice sets are manufactured with strict quality standards and are precision balanced with flush faces.

You are going to need some other items for your craps game. You will need buttons for betting and marking. You will also need a dice stick, which is used by the stickman to retrieve dice during the game. A dice boat to hold your dice would also be a nice addition to your game. All of these accessories will help to make your craps game more exciting.

When a particular player at the table wants to call off his bets, the off side of an On/Off button is used. When he is ready to resume his bets the button is flipped to the on side. The dealer uses a larger, On/Off puck, to indicate the current point and to indicate when the point is off which occurs in the first round of play. Both the On/Off button and the On/Off puck are available for you to use in your home.

The buy/lay button is available as a simple 1.25 inch wafer style button. This button is used to place bets during a craps game. A buy bet is placed on any point number, except the current point number. In this bet, the craps player is betting that the chosen number will come up before the number 7. The lay bet is also placed on a chosen point number, but in this bet, the player is betting that the 7 will come up before the chosen number.
