			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There is something to be said for a great Craps site, and it can be tough to figure out how to find it. Many of the big online casino portals focus on blackjack or poker, but not many have a specialization in craps – which can lead to concern for the player as they feel that they are left out there to fend for themselves. But every now and then a great portal that comes along will have the ability to bridge that divide and <a href="http://www.crapshero.com/" target="_blank">www.crapshero.com</a> is one of those sites. If you are looking for a great site and want to understand what you are looking at, this is a great place to start.</p>
<p>The site will not only give you a listing of the best online craps casinos that are out there, but they offer you bonuses, pay outs, ratings, and a link to download the casino to your computer. For many people the pay out rate is the most important thing, but for others it is about the bonus – so you get to see both and decide which of their top ten you are most interested in.</p>
<p>But then the site goes on to describe the game for you so that you can get a basic understanding of how it came to be and they tell you how to play if you have not before. The tips and tricks that they share with you can help you in the end figure out how to play that is best for you and allow you to start looking at the amount of money that you could possibly win if you come up with a good strategy that works for you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It seems like we are constantly hearing about these casino employees that decide that they are not making enough money so they choose to rip off the casino that they are working at. And yet they never think that they are going to get caught – that is the beauty of it. They don’t think for a moment that the casino is going to see them stealing – even though they are trained to watch for both employees and customer who are ripping them off. One would hope that their dealers would be a bit smarter than that, but unfortunately they are not.</p>
<p>So it comes down to Delaware State Police arresting Gina A. Savinell of Smyrna for stealing money from the casino. She was no <a href="http://www.crapshero.com/" target="_blank">craps hero</a> that is for sure as the 37 year old was caught by the casino taking checks from the craps table. Police said that after investigating they discovered Savinell was the guilty party. They searched her locker at work and they found heroin and cash. Then they got a search warrant for her house and they found more heroin, drug paraphernalia and gaming checks.</p>
<p>Police are charging her with two counts of possession with intent to deliver, second-degree conspiracy, two counts of endangering the welfare of a child and drug paraphernalia. Not only that, but police ordered her held in the Women&#8217;s Correctional Institute in lieu of a secured bond. You can check <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betting">Wikipedia, betting</a> illegally and stealing the money from the table are just not good ideas. Why she thought she would not get caught, or why she thought bringing all of her drugs, etc. to her job was a good idea is beyond us, but hopefully this will be an eye opener for her and she can get herself clean.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For those that want to play craps, they might find that the game is a bit confusing. You can go on <a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/">www.cbsnews.com</a> and look for information, but it can be tough to find anything that helps you. But all gambling games can seem confusing if you do not know what you are looking for. There are plenty of choices that you can make when playing any game of gambling and different strategies that you can employ when playing. For most gamblers there are plenty of places that you can go when searching out strategies to employ with the game. You can go to any of the <a href="http://bestonlinecasino.net/best-online-casinos/" target="_blank">top 10 online casinos</a> and look up poker, blackjack, etc. and you will be inundated with options. However, this is not the case with craps. It can be very difficult to find good ways of playing, so you will want to keep that in mind when choosing what to play.</p>
<p>But if you have already committed yourself to craps, you should know that there are three basic ways to bet on the game.  You can play Pass Line, Odds Bets, or Place Bets. Pass Line is where the odds favor the house by a much smaller amount, and if you hit a seven or eleven on the first roll of the dice you win. If you get a total of two, three, or twelve, you lose. If you get four, five, six, eight, nine or ten then you get the &#8220;point number&#8221; or &#8220;place number.&#8221; If you get that point again before you roll a seven you lose.</p>
<p>Odds Bets means that you can make a bet after the point is established. So you roll an eight, you can bet on the point. You might place a $5 bet on odds and if you bet and you get a six you will get $6 if you win. If the point is five or seven you get $7.50. If you get a four or ten for the point you can get an additional $10 for each $5 bet. However, if you get a seven you lose it all. Finally, there is Place Bets. These are the most fun to play. Let’s say that the eight is still your base point, and you bet on the other numbers to win. Each time your number comes up you win. But not only that, so does everyone else. So every time your number comes up everyone is a winner. It is a great feeling!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Kansas Star Casino was the place to be this weekend, for the craps table was hopping with players. Residents and tourists alike have been hitting the casino hard and much of that probably has to do with the fact that it is only the second state owned casino around. The site is about nine miles south of Wichita, which makes the city a big draw in terms of revenue for the casino. According to their books, they have brought in $21.5 million their first month open. They were packed full on the day after Christmas, their first day open, and have not stopped bringing the people in since. Whether it is craps, or slots, it does not matter because Kansans like their gambling.</p>
<p>Of the money that came in from the casino, $4.7 million went directly to the state, and the cities of Mulvane, Sumner and Sedgwick all got $215,624 for the month. The state’s gambling addiction fund got $431,248 and the casino’s manager – Peninsula Gaming – got $15.7 million. They got the lion’s share as they are responsible for all of the expenses related to the operating of the casino.</p>
<p>Now many say that you can play craps online at a site like <a href="http://play-crapsonline.org/" target="_blank">http://play-crapsonline.org</a> but it just is not the same as playing it live. With the casino still set to expand more than they have already, you can imagine how much more they are bound to do in revenues, which means more money for everyone involved. The casino is planning on adding in more craps tables, a 12 table poker room, blackjack tables, etc. as well as 2,000 more slot machines. It will truly be a gaming hub.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For those that might be interested in trying to <a href="http://www.crapshero.com/">play craps</a>, there are some simple things that you can do to help yourself out. First have an understanding of the game that you are going to play and second, have money with you to lose while you try it out. You can find a site that offers free craps as well which will help you hone your game, but you will really need to get out there in the thick of things to know for sure. There are four people running the game at any one time. There is the boxman who is the guy in the middle of the table, and is the boss of the game. He watches the game to make sure that everyone else is doing what they are supposed to.</p>
<p>Then there are two dealers who are handling the players on their side of the table. Then finally there is the stickman who stands on the players’ side of the table and controls the actual action in the game. He gives the dice to the player and takes the dice from the player. He also watches to make sure that there is nothing funny going on with the dice. The players place their bets and someone throws the dice. The player throws the dice to the other end of the table and depending on what you have thrown you may just have won or lost.</p>
<p><a href="http://online.wsj.com/" target="_blank">The Wall Street Journal</a> has some interesting articles pertaining to craps and if you are interested in learning more about the industry you might want to check them out to gain some more insight on it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It is interesting to see the lines that have been drawn for many of the gamblers at the Aqueduct Racetrack. On one side you have those that follow the horses. They are playing the long shots, or the safe bets, and hoping for a win. They watch the horses run and hope that their horse is the one that comes in first. However, there are many days that they watch their horses lose one after another and although they have lost completely during the course of the day they still think that the people who play the craps and slot machines are the suckers.</p>
<p>For those that play the craps games, etc. they put their money in the machine and in a fraction of the time it takes the horse to run that lap they have either lost or won their wager. Most of them leave without having won, and they look at the ones that are playing the horses and they say that they are the suckers, not them.</p>
<p>But when it comes down to it, both sides are playing what they enjoy. Those that follow the horses for the most part stick on their side and those that play the games do the same. They could go home and play <a href="http://www.on-linecasino.eu/craps.html" target="_blank">craps online</a>, but they like the social aspect of playing there with friends. The horse racers are the same way. They could go home and watch the races on <a href="http://www.youtube.com/">youtube.com</a> or some similar program, but they cannot bet on their horses so they have to go to the track if they have any hope of winning. Moving from one area to the other you can’t help but notice the worn, stained carpet for the horse racing side and the brand new blue carpet on the slot machine side. There is definitely an attempt to get the players to come and stay on the side of the games for they know that there is more money coming in from them than there is from the horses. But the fact that each side on average ends up in the same predicament at the end of the day, they really should not be turning their noses up at each other.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ok, so as far as games go there are some that just have better names than others. Baccarat sounds positively exquisite, poker sounds tough and craps – well, there have been better names for a game that is for sure. However, don’t let the name fool you because underneath it is a terrific game just waiting to be played. Not only that, but once you understand the game you will find that it is fast paced and a ton of fun.</p>
<p>So what are craps? Craps is the game that you always see people in movies playing that you might not have known the name but you certainly know the moves. You watch them throwing that dice, perhaps they have someone blow on them, and next thing you know someone is hoping for a new pair of shoes. Once you understand what it is they are hoping for the game becomes even more exciting. There is a shooter at the end that has the dice to throw, and everyone else places their bets based on how they think the shooter is going to do.</p>
<p>The first roll is called the “come out roll” and they roll both dice. If they roll a seven or eleven they win as does everyone on the “pass line” which is simply a way of betting. The game goes on from there, and if you want more details as well as some terrific tips to improve your game as well you are going to want to check out <a href="http://onlinecasino.co/craps/" target="_blank">http://onlinecasino.co/craps/</a>. This site has all the craps information that you could need, and talks about the game really in a step by step manner so that you really get a feel for both the betting and the shooting. It is a great site.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When you think about playing craps online, you might be tempted to just search google and see if you can find a great site to play at. Or you could start with a site that you know is going to be great – and that would be any site that offered you the chance to play the games from Microgaming. This online gambling company offers you pretty much anything you can think of in terms of gaming, but they do it in a way that lets you know that they are a company of integrity and will not be cutting corners to make money off of you.</p>
<p>The company has been around since 1994 and they claim to be the first “genuine online casino” to come out. They have about 100 casinos for you to choose from, and they offer everything under the sun. But not only that, they also have an integrity about them that makes players want to participate at their sites. They do not offer any of their gaming services in a country that does not allow it, unlike many others. There are those that find their way around the laws, but Microgaming is not one of them. They know that someday it might be legal to offer their services there and they do not want to jeopardize their position.</p>
<p>They are known for some of the best paying games out there today – Mega Moolah is one of the biggest paying out games today. If you want more information about the company you can go to their <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microgaming" target="_blank">wiki page</a> and read all about how they got their start and how they became the popular company that they are today.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are new to the craps world there are a few things that you need to know before you venture into the realm. Without understanding how the rolls work you could end up not doing very well at the table. Whether you choose to play craps online or at a live craps table, you are going to want to know the basics so that you can understand them. The basic rules for rolls are spelled out below, but if you want more information or details regarding it you can always go to <a href="http://www.crapshero.com/" target="_blank">Craps Hero</a> for they have a lot of information on the game that you will need in order to play it correctly.</p>
<p>When rolling it is important to remember that the shooter rolls with one hand and the dice have to bounce off the far end of the wall that surrounds the entire craps table. If they do not, the game is not considered fair and the roll does not count. This is one way that the boxman, or the dealer for the table, keeps the die from getting switched with another set that might be loaded. If the dice leave the table the dealer has the right to swap them out for another set, but they also have the right to allow them into play after a thorough inspection to make sure that they have not be changed out.</p>
<p>There are many calls that get hollered out during a game, and they are part of what makes up the fun of the game. If you roll a 4, 6, 8, and 10 you have rolled a number either the “hard way” or the “easy way.” Basically they will say “Six the Hard Way” or “Easy Eight.” If you roll a two you will hear “Snake Eyes” because they look like eyes – the two 1’s that have been rolled. Three is called a couple of things, sometimes “Acey Deucey” or “Three Craps Three.” Four is “Little Joe from Kokomo,” and five is “No Field Five.” Six could be “Jimmie Hicks” or “Jimmie Hix from the Sticks.” Seven is “Up Pops the Devil” and eight is “Eighter” or “Square Pair.” The list goes on and on, and the names can change depending on the location where you are playing and the people that you are worth. It just depends on the game. Go to Craps Hero to get a full listing of the terms and titles so that the next time you hit the craps tables you will be in the know with the lingo.</p>
