There are many local variants of the calls made by the stickman for rolls during a craps game.<ref name=Maurer50>{{cite journal |doi=10.1177/000271625026900116 |title=The Argot of the Dice Gambler |first=David W. |last=Maurer |author-link=David W. Maurer |date=May 1950 |volume=269 |issue=1 |journal=The Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science |pages=114–133 |jstor=1027824}}</ref> These frequently incorporate a reminder to the dealers as to which bets to pay or collect.

;Two — [[File:Tabler-icons dice-1.svg|Tabler-icons dice-1]][[File:Tabler-icons dice-1.svg|Tabler-icons dice-1]] "Snake Eyes", "Two Craps Two", "Double Aces", "Loose Deuce", "Snickies"
: The two ones that compose it look like a pair of small, beady eyes.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Reich |first1=Herb |title=Numberpedia: Everything You Ever Wanted to Know (and a Few Things You Didn't) About Numbers |date=2011 |publisher=Skyhorse Publishing |location=New York |isbn=978-1-61608-084-6 |url=https://archive.org/details/numberpediaevery0000reic |url-access=subscription}}</ref>{{rp|41}} During actual play, more common terms are "two craps two" during the comeout roll because the Pass line bet is lost on a comeout crap roll and/or because a bet on any craps would win. "Aces; double the field" would be a more common call when not on the comeout roll to remind the dealers to pay double on the field bets and encourage the field bettor to place subsequent bets and/or when no crap bets have been placed.  Another name for the two is "loose deuce" or "Snickies" due to it sounding like "Snake eyes" but spoken with an accent.
;Three — [[File:Tabler-icons dice-1.svg|Tabler-icons dice-1]][[File:Tabler-icons dice-2.svg|Tabler-icons dice-2]] "Three Craps Three", "Ace Deuce", "Tracy", "Acey Deucy"
: Typically called as "three craps three" during the comeout roll, or "three, ace deuce, come away single" when not on the comeout to signify the come bet has been lost and to pay single to any field bettors.  Three may also be referred to as "ace caught a deuce", "Tracy", or even less often "acey deucey".
;Four (hard) — [[File:Tabler-icons dice-2.svg|Tabler-icons dice-2]][[File:Tabler-icons dice-2.svg|Tabler-icons dice-2]]"Little Joe", "Joe", "Little Dick", "Little Joe from Kokomo", "Little Joe on the Front Row", "Ballerina"
: usually hard, is sometimes referred to as "Little Joe from Kokomo" or "Little Joe on the front row" or just "Little Joe".<ref name=Maurer50/>{{rp|127}}  A hard four can be called a "ballerina" because it is two-two ("[[ballet tutu|tutu]]").
;Five — [[File:Tabler-icons dice-2.svg|Tabler-icons dice-2]][[File:Tabler-icons dice-3.svg|Tabler-icons dice-3]] "Phoebe", "Fever in the South", "West Kentucky", "No Field Five", "Fever"
: is frequently called "no field five" in casinos in which five is not one of the field rolls and thus not paid in the field bets. Other names for a five are "fever" and "little Phoebe".<ref name=Maurer50/>{{rp|129}}
;Six — [[File:Tabler-icons dice-3.svg|Tabler-icons dice-3]][[File:Tabler-icons dice-3.svg|Tabler-icons dice-3]] "Jimmie Hicks", "Jimmie Hicks from the Sticks", "666 Winner 6", "Sixty Days", "Sice"
: may be referred to as "Jimmie Hicks" or "Jimmie Hicks from the sticks", examples of [[rhyming slang]].  On a win, the six is often called "666 winner 6" followed by "came hard" or "came easy".
;Seven — [[File:Tabler-icons dice-6.svg|Tabler-icons dice-4]][[File:Tabler-icons dice-1.svg|Tabler-icons dice-2]] "Six Ace", "Up Pops the Devil", "Up Jumped the Devil", "Big Red", "Seven Out", "Seven Out Seven"
: rolled as 6–1 is sometimes called "six ace" or "up pops the Devil".  Older dealers and players may use the term "Big Red" because craps tables once prominently featured a large red "7" in the center of the layout for the one-roll seven bet. During the comeout, the seven is called "seven, front line winner", frequently followed by "pay the line" and/or "take the don'ts".  After the point is established, a seven is typically called by simply "7 out"{{citation needed|date=April 2017}} or "7 out 7".{{citation needed|date=April 2017}}.
;Eight (hard) — [[File:Tabler-icons dice-4.svg|Tabler-icons dice-4]][[File:Tabler-icons dice-4.svg|Tabler-icons dice-4]] "Eighter from Decatur", "Ada from Decatur", "Square Pair", "Mom and Dad", "Ozzie and Harriet"
: rolled the hard way, as opposed to an "easy eight", is sometimes called an "eighter from [[Decatur (disambiguation)|Decatur]]".<ref name=Maurer50/>{{rp|124}} It can also be known as a "square pair", "mom and dad", or "[[Ozzie and Harriet]]".
;Nine — [[File:Tabler-icons dice-4.svg|Tabler-icons dice-4]][[File:Tabler-icons dice-5.svg|Tabler-icons dice-5]] "Centerfield Nine", "Railroad Nine", "Jesse James", "Nina from Pasadena", "Nina at the Marina", "Niner from Carolina", Old Mike"
: is called a "centerfield nine" in casinos in which nine is one of the field rolls, because nine is the center number shown on the layout in such casinos (2–3–4–9–10–11–12). In Atlantic City, a 4–5 is called a "railroad nine". The 4–5 nine is also known as "Jesse James" because the outlaw [[Jesse James]] was killed by a .45 caliber pistol. Other names for the nine include "Nina from [[Pasadena (disambiguation)|Pasadena]]", "Nina at the [[Marina]]", and "niner from [[The Carolinas|Carolina]]". Nine can also be referred to as "Old Mike", named after [[National Basketball Association|NBA]] Hall-of-Famer [[Michael Jordan]], who wore No. 9 in his FIBA international career, when players could only wear numbers 4 to 15.
;Ten (hard) — [[File:Tabler-icons dice-5.svg|Tabler-icons dice-5]][[File:Tabler-icons dice-5.svg|Tabler-icons dice-5]] "Big Dick", "Big Dick from Boston", "Big Dick the Ladies' Friend", "Dos Equis", "Puppy Paws", "Pair of Sunflowers", "Big John"
: the hard way is "a hard ten", "dos equis" (Spanish, meaning "two X's", because the pip arrangement on both dice on this roll resembles "XX"), or "Hard ten – a woman's best friend",<ref name=Maurer50/>{{rp|121}} an example of both rhyming slang and sexual [[double entendre]]. Ten as a pair of 5's may also be known as "puppy paws" or "a pair of sunflowers" or "Big Dick" or "Big John." Another slang for a hard ten is "moose head", because it resembles a moose's antlers. This phrase came from players in the Pittsburgh area.
;Eleven — [[File:Tabler-icons dice-6.svg|Tabler-icons dice-6]][[File:Tabler-icons dice-5.svg|Tabler-icons dice-5]] "Yo", "Yo-leven", "Six Five No Jive"
: called out as "yo" or "yo-leven" to prevent being misheard as "seven". An older term for eleven is "six five, no jive" because it is a winning roll.  During the comeout, eleven is typically followed by "front line winner".  After the point is established, "good field and come" is often added.
;Twelve — [[File:Tabler-icons dice-6.svg|Tabler-icons dice-6]][[File:Tabler-icons dice-6.svg|Tabler-icons dice-6]] "Boxcars", "Midnight", "Double-action Field Traction", "12 Craps 12"
: known as "boxcars" because the spots on the two dice that show 6–6 look like schematic drawings of railroad [[boxcar]]s; 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.  On tables that pay triple the field on a twelve roll, the stickman will often loudly exclaim "triple" either alone or in combination with "12 craps 12" or "come away triple".

Rolls of 4, 6, 8, and 10 are called "hard" or "gag", when rolled as a double,<ref name=Maurer50/>{{rp|125}} or "easy", when rolled with two different numbers. For example, rolls will be called "six the hard way", "easy eight", "hard ten", etc., 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 different-number combinations (easy) rather than as a double (hard).
