Also known as: open craps

Quick Summary

Money craps, also known as open craps, is a simpler version of the dice game craps, often played in less formal or illegal gambling settings. Unlike bank craps found in casinos, money craps typically uses a table without an elaborate layout. Players in money craps can gamble against each other on the shooter's point numbers. However, for all other wagers, players must bet with the book (the game organizers), and a charge, usually 5 percent, is paid by the players. Private craps games are even more informal, with players betting against each other and proposing or accepting bets as they wish.1
