How Do You Spell CRAPS?

Pronunciation: [kɹˈaps] (IPA)

The word "craps" is commonly used to refer to a popular dice game played in casinos. Its spelling can be explained through the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) phonetic transcription. The word is pronounced kræps, with the "c" being silent, and the "a" in "craps" is pronounced as the "a" in "cat." The "ps" at the end of the word is pronounced as a voiceless bilabial stop, like the "p" in "pat." So, while the spelling might seem unusual, the pronunciation of the word is easily understood through the IPA transcription.

CRAPS Meaning and Definition

1. Craps, also known as "dice" or "shooter," is a popular casino gambling game that involves rolling two six-sided dice. The objective of the game is to bet on the outcome of the dice roll, either by predicting the total value of the dice or specific combinations.

   In craps, players take turns being the "shooter," meaning they roll the dice. Before the shooter rolls, players can place bets on various areas of the craps table, including the "pass line" and "don't pass line." The shooter then throws the dice against the wall of the table, and the result is determined by the combined value of the dice facing up.

   If the total of the dice is 7 or 11 on the first roll, those who bet on the pass line win. On the other hand, if the total is 2, 3, or 12, those who bet on the don't pass line win. If the result is any other number, that number becomes the "point," and the shooter continues rolling until either the point is rolled again or a seven is rolled.

   Craps is a fast-paced game that offers various betting options, such as "come" and "don't come" bets, odds bets, and proposition bets. It provides an exciting and social atmosphere, often accompanied by loud cheers and camaraderie among players. Craps is played in both land-based casinos and online gambling platforms, attracting players around the world with its suspense and potential for big wins.

Etymology of CRAPS

The word "craps" is derived from the earlier English dice game called "hazard". The game was popular in the Middle Ages and originated from the Arabic word "al-zahr", meaning "dice". Over time, "hazard" evolved and was brought to New Orleans by French settlers in the 18th century. The game underwent further changes and eventually got its modern name, "craps". The exact origins and pathway of the word's etymology are not entirely clear, but it is believed to have been influenced by French and English linguistic elements.
