Come Out Roll
Come out roll is nothing but the rolling of the dice and reading the numbers that come up in the dice.
The first rolling of the dice making the betting round is known as the
Come Out roll – Every new game in Craps starts with the Come Out roll.
A Come Out roll is followed only when the previous shooter did not make
any point or seven out, in other words failed to make a winning roll.
The new game starts with a new shooter, and after he makes his point a new come out roll is initiated.
Come out roll essentially marks the beginning of a new game.
The game proceeds clockwise with the next shooter being a new player, left to the previous player.
