Craps is a dice game of chance available at most mobile casinos in Mali. Each round of the game begins with the shooter rolling two dice. They are referred to as the ‘come out roll’ and the shooter is marked with the ‘shooter’s button’. Depending on the result of the come out roll, the shooter would either win, or lose, or carry on with the game for another round.
If the shooter rolls a ‘natural’ (i.e. 7 or 11), they win automatically. However, if they roll ‘craps’ (i.e. 2, 3, or 12), they lose immediately. In all other cases (i.e. 4 to 10), the number rolled becomes the ‘point’ and the shooter continues to roll until they either roll another 7 or the same number as the 'point', in which case the shooter wins.
In addition to these core rules, there are also ‘side bets’ which have different rules and payouts. These bets are typically placed before the come out roll and can be rolled in addition to the point or the natural. It is important for players to be aware of the various side bets available at mobile casinos in Mali to make informed decisions.
