Abstract: A game of chance involves use of a pair of dice or other randomizing device to obtain a first number set, wherein a first wager immediately wins when the first number set from the dice/device adds up to one of the numbers in a selected Numbers Group or Wagering Zone. A winning wager, or portion of the winning wager, may be parlayed to a second tier wager to determine whether the next roll of the dice/device will produce a second number set that is the same as the first number set. The Wagering Zones may be incorporated/combined with traditional casino game layouts, for example, Craps, slot-machine, Blackjack, or Roulette types of layout. In many board or table embodiments, wagers, based on speculation of what will be the first number set and subsequent number sets, are placed directly on the playing surface, with second tier wagering zones provided to prevent confusion with others' “fresh” wagers on the subsequent rolls.

Abstract: Crapless Craps, a game that has existed for more than 20 years, is a modification of standard craps designed to eliminate the possibility of the pass line bettor losing on the come-out roll. However, it has several serious drawbacks that have prevented it from achieving significant popularity with the gambling public. No-Crap Craps is a modification of Crapless Craps created to overcome these shortcomings. This aim is achieved by regarding every number except 7 as a point number, but with numbers 2 and 3 grouped together as 2-or-3, and numbers 11 and 12 grouped together as 11-or-12. When betting against the shooter, a seven-out after point 11-or-12 pays half. The result is that the house advantages of the pass line bet and the don't pass bet are exactly those of standard craps.
