Unlike its casino counterpart, this simplified game is played informally, often on sidewalks, backyards, or even in alleyways. Players roll the dice against a vertical surface, like a wall or curb, to ensure fairness. Due to its low entry requirements and straightforward gameplay, Street Craps has gained immense popularity, making it an accessible and engaging dice game for all.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"OVERVIEW_OF_STREET_CRAPS_AND_ITS_ORIGINS\"><\/span>OVERVIEW OF STREET CRAPS AND ITS ORIGINS<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Street Craps has roots in traditional casino craps but evolved as an informal, community-based dice game. This street version removes the <a href=\"blog\/gambling\/what-is-house-edge\/\">house edge<\/a>, allowing players to bet directly against each other rather than a casino. Historically, Street Craps has been popular in urban areas where players gather to roll the dice and wager on the outcome. This variation relies on player agreements, making it a more flexible and social dice game.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"RULES_AND_GAMEPLAY_OF_STREET_CRAPS\"><\/span>RULES AND GAMEPLAY OF STREET CRAPS<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To be able to play street dice and the game crap out, you need to understand the basics and the overall objective, how to place bets, and what is a shooter&#8217;s bet.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"BASIC_GAMEPLAY_AND_OBJECTIVE\"><\/span>BASIC GAMEPLAY AND OBJECTIVE<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The objective of Street Craps is similar to casino craps\u2014players bet on the outcome of a roll of two dice. The game begins with a player, known as the shooter, rolling the dice. The first roll, called the &#8220;come out roll,&#8221; determines the course of the game. If the shooter rolls a 7 or 11, they win the round. If they roll a 2, 3, or 12 (crap out), they lose instantly. Any other number (4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10) becomes the &#8220;point value.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"HOW_TO_PLAY_CRAPS_IN_STREET_VARIANT\"><\/span><a href=\"blog\/craps\/how-to-play-craps\/\">HOW TO PLAY CRAPS<\/a> IN STREET VARIANT<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Once a point value is established, the shooter rolls the dice again to either match the point value and win or roll a seven and lose.
