In any casino, the craps table often has the loudest and most excited crowd. This is because when the shooter wins, everyone wins. Its also because craps offers some of the best odds in the entire casino, giving players the best chance to win money. In this talk, the rules of craps will be explained. Also, the concept of markov chains will be introduced, and a finite markov chain will be used to model the game of craps.
