Editing Craps (section)

== Etiquette ==
Craps is among the most social and most superstitious of all gambling games, which leads to an enormous variety of informal rules of etiquette that players may be expected to follow.<ref name=":1" /><ref name=":3" /><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.poormansguidetocasinogambling.com/blog/proper-craps-etiquette |title=Proper Craps Etiquette |website=Poorman's Guide to Casino Gambling |access-date=2018-08-19}}</ref><ref name=":4">{{cite news |url=https://www.crapspit.org/craps-table/proper-etiquette-craps-table/ |title=Proper Craps Etiquette at the Craps Table |work=CrapsPit.org |access-date=2018-08-19 |language=en-US}}</ref> An exhaustive list of these is beyond the scope of this article, but the guidelines below are most commonly given.

=== Tips ===
Tipping the dealers is universal and expected in Craps. As in most other casino games, a player may simply place (or toss) chips onto the table and say, "For the dealers", "For the crew", ''etc.'' In craps, it is also common to place a bet for the dealers. This is usually done one of three ways: by placing an ordinary bet and simply declaring it for the dealers, as a "two-way", or "on top". A "Two-Way" is a bet for both parties: for example, a player may toss in two chips and say "Two Way Hard Eight", which will be understood to mean one chip for the player and one chip for the dealers. Players may also place a stack of chips for a bet as usual, but leave the top chip off-center and announce "on top for the dealers". The dealer's portion is often called a "toke" bet, which comes from the practice of using $1 slot machine tokens to place dealer bets in some casinos.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1" /><ref name=":3" /><ref name=":4" />

In some cases, players may also tip each other, for example as a show of gratitude to the thrower for a roll on which they win a substantial bet.<ref name=":1" />

=== Superstition ===
Craps players routinely practice a wide range of superstitious behaviors, and may expect or demand these from other players as well.

Most prominently, it is universally considered bad luck to say the word "seven" (after the "come-out", a roll of 7 is a loss for "pass" bets). Dealers themselves often make significant efforts to avoid calling out the number. When necessary, participants may refer to seven with a "nickname" such as "Big Red" (or just "Red"), "the S-word", etc.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1" /><ref name=":3" /><ref name=":4" />
