Solution

Craps is a dice game in which the players make wagers on the outcome of the roll, or a series of rolls, of a pair of dice. Players may wager money against each other (playing \"street craps\", also known as \"shooting dice\" or \"rolling dice\") or a bank (playing \"casinocraps\", also known as \"tablecraps\", or often just \"craps\"). Because it requires little equipment, \"street craps\" can be played in informal settings.

There are many local variants of the calls made by the stickman for rolls during a craps game. These often incorporate a reminder to the dealers as to which bets to pay or collect.Rolls of 4, 6, 8, and 10 are called \"hard\" or \"easy\" (e.g. \"six the hard way\", \"easy eight\", \"hard ten\") depending on whether they were rolled as a\"double\" or as any other combination of values, because of their significance in center table bets known as the \"hard ways\". Hard way rolls are so named because there is only one way to roll them(i.e., the value on each die is the same when the number is rolled). Consequently, it is more likely to roll the number in combinations (easy) rather than as a double (hard).Two is \"snake eyes,\" because the two ones that comprise it look like a pair of small, beady eyes. During actual play, more common terms are \"two craps two\" during the come out roll because the pass line bet is lost on a come out crap roll and/or because a bet on any craps would win.

Four, usually hard, is sometimes referred to as\"Little Joe from Kokomo.\" or \"Little Joe on the front row\" or just \"Little Joe\".

Eleven is called out as \"yo\" or \"yo-leven\" to prevent being misheard as \"seven\". An older termfor eleven is \"six five, no jive\" because it is a winning roll.

Twelve is known as \"boxcars\" because the spots on the two dice that show 6-6 look like schematicdrawings of railroadboxcars; it is also called\"midnight\", referring to twelve o\'clock; and also as\"double-action field traction\", because of the (standard) 2-to-1 pay on Field bets for this roll and the fact that the arrangement of the pips on the two dice, when laid end-to-end, resemble tire tracks.
