The Player that rolls the dice.

Come-Out Roll

This is any roll before a point is established. It is an attempt to win a Pass Line bet by rolling 7 or 11. Pass Line bets lose if the come-out roll is 2, 3 or 12. After rolling 7, 11, 2, 3 or 12, the Shooter comes out again. If any other number is rolled, a Point is established.

Point

This is a number - four, five, six, eight, nine or ten, that the Shooter is trying to roll to win the Pass Line bet.

Back to Top

Establish a Point

This is when you roll a Point on the come-out roll.

Back to Top

Making a Point

This is when the Shooter re-rolls the Point, once it has been established. Once a Point is established, re-rolling the Point wins, seven loses and any other number does not affect the Pass Line bet.

Note:
The Shooter rolls until he makes the Point, or rolls a seven.
