In Iraq, the game of craps has been part of the country's culture for many years. It is a game of dice where two dice are thrown simultaneously and the numbers on the dice are used to calculate the player's winnings. The rules of craps in Iraq are similar to those of other countries. To begin the game, a bet is placed on the outcome of the roll of the dice. The player then throws the two dice on the playing surface and the number rolled on each dice is added together.
If the total of the two dice is seven or eleven, then the player wins immediately; however, if the total is two, three, or twelve, the player loses the bet. If any other total is thrown, the total is marked and the player continues to roll the dice until the total is either seven or the original total. If the original total is thrown again before the seven, the player wins the bet.
