A craps game utilizing specially designed “craps cards” on a unique playing surface similar to a blackjack table with a special rail. There are one or two dealers who draw two cards from an automatic shuffler or shoe consisting of at least six decks. Each deck contains 48 cards, eight each of the six different indicia of those six surfaces on a dice. These two cards are wagered and used as though they were the “roll” in a standard craps game. The table surface utilizes a customized layout with the wagering indicia of a standard craps table and played and wagered in the same manner by one to ten players. The layout of the table has the proposition bets in the middle section and the number, field, come, don't come, pass and don't pass sections on either side. A specially designed rail system has two barrels for chips and a cushion rail.
A method and accompanying apparatus for playing the game of craps with a deck of cards that have the same surface features as the six surfaces of a die. The numbers are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, with dots representing the number on the card. This allows the game of craps to be played in the same manner and with the same rules, with cards substituting for dice.
An apparatus used is a playing surface or layout used for this wagering game is a tabletop with the same size and dimensional designs as a large blackjack tabletop:
An apparatus used is the rail on the outer edge. The edge on the player side of the table consists of two barrels placed front to back as in the rail around a craps table. On the player side of these barrels is a rounded cushion, similar to the player's cushion on a blackjack table. The rail overlaps onto the tabletop on the players' side, but is a flush straight edge along the dealers' side.
An apparatus used is an area for two (2) dealers on the dealers' side of the table, each utilizing his/her own banking tray.
The play of this game is the same as craps with wagers and odds being the same. Bets are made by players in the areas of pass, don't pass, come, don't come, field and individual numbers. All odds and payoffs are the same as craps.
