Abstract:
Craps is played by rolling two standard cubical dice with sides numbered 1 to 6. The dice are called fair if each number is equally likely to be rolled and unfair or loaded otherwise. The play of the game is determined by the total distribution of the dice, and we are going to explore some interesting questions such as whether it would be possible to play this game with a loaded pair of dice, with the same probabilities of game events as if fair dice were being used.
