Craps Table for new Laws

From Pennsylvania to Florida the idea of bringing table games like craps is becoming reality. Not will including craps and other table games at casinos create hundreds of jobs, it's also a fun game for responsible gamblers.



A PokerChest we have a number of craps tables and accessories to help you get into the mood. But with the recession, you can still practice your craps at an affordable medium right from the comfort of your own home with the Reversible Craps & Roulette Folding Table.

Don't let the price fool you! This craps table is made of solid and durable wood, high quality green felt, and fold for easy storage. We'd love to leave you some tips on playing craps effectively... but no one knows what the throw of the die will reveal…that's the exciting part of the game! However, here are three tips to help you bet correctly:

1. The scariest best is called the Field Bet because you bet before the next throw of the dice. Sometimes all of us get that "feeling" of what's coming next. If you feel a little dangerous go for but use it sparingly!

2. Proposition Bets are for the exact outcome... no our favorite but if you are feeling lucky go for it.

3. "Hard Number Bet" is when you bet that two dice numbers will the same. A "Hard 8" would be a 4 and a 4 where a "Easy 8" could be a 5 and a 3.
