The first roll of any shooter at the craps table is called the (The Come Out Roll).
If the shooter bets on the Pass Line and the first roll is a 7 or 11, he or she is an automatic winner along with all the other players that bet on the Pass Line.

If the shooter Craps Out by rolling (2-3 or 12) the shooter and all players who bet on the Pass Line (Right Betters) automatically lose.
If the shooter rolls any other number (4-5-6-8-9 or 10) that number then becomes the point.

Once the point has been established, a disk marked “on” is placed in the box containing that number.


At this point, players can start to bet Free-Odds on the Line bets. The shooter then continues trying to roll the point number as often as possible, while trying to avoid rolling a 7.
If the shooter rolls a 7 before the point, (Seven Out) the result is a loss.

As long as the shooter is rolling for the point and does not roll a 7 or the point is won there are numerous bets a player can make.

After the previous shooter sevens Out, a new shooter is “Coming Out.”
After the shooter rolls a 7 or 11 on a previous come-out roll (Automatic on Pass Line Bets) the same shooter is coming out.

After the shooter Craps Out (2-3 or 12) on the previous come-out roll, the same shooter is “coming out.”
After the shooter makes the point by repeating it before rolling a 7, the same roller is “coming out.”
