Shooter

Craps

The player currently rolling the dice in a round of craps. The shooter begins with a come-out roll to establish the point, then continues rolling until either the point is made (pass line wins) or a seven out occurs (pass line loses). The shooter must make a pass line or don’t pass bet (minimum table minimum) to be eligible to roll. If a shooter makes their point, they retain the dice and begin a new come-out roll; this can continue indefinitely until a seven out. Dice are passed clockwise around the table to the next player after a seven out. Casino policy typically requires the shooter to use one hand and keep the dice visible above the table surface at all times.
