Craps

Overview

Players place bets on the outcome of two dice when playing craps, or Seven-Eleven. It can be found both at brick-and-mortar casinos and online. There are two types of gambling games: it’s a game of competition between players or against the bank. Moreover, Craps is a very social game, and the table at a Las Vegas or Macau Craps table is usually surrounded by screaming players.

What is the origin of the name Craps?

“Street craps*” is a game that can be played almost anywhere because it requires very little equipment, as all you need is a pair of dice. The game of craps was played crouched on the floor or sidewalk around this time, hence the term “craps,” which is derived from the French language “crapaud,” which means “toad.”

What is the best way to play craps?

Despite its simple rules and confusing terminology, craps is a casino game that can intimidate beginners. In come-out rolls, the shooter throws the dice. When the shooter throws the dice, three outcomes are possible:

Natural

Normally, a 7 or 11 results in a win, allowing you to roll again.

Craps

With a 2, called Snake Eyes, a three, or a twelve, you lose. There is a second chance, however.

Point

There are 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10 numbers on the dice. Once the dice are rolled again, the players hope to hit the same number. This results in a win, and it is unnecessary to roll a second pair of dice.

It is important to note that the sequence above does not contain a 7. Since 7 is not a lucky number, you are “seven out” if you roll one, and your bet round is over.

Verdict

When you get the hang of it, Craps can be plenty of fun (even though it can appear intimidating at first due to the number of people that tend to crowd around the table).

Zulu Gold Slot Features

When playing Zulu Gold, players will find that there are many special symbols, each of which provides a unique function that increases their chances of winning:

Colossal Symbols

All symbols that pay out appear as giant symbols, including the wild symbol. It can occupy two, three, or four squares on a reel, and perform some pretty awesome functions.

A symbol matching the colossal symbol will appear in the space under the symbol if there is one left.

In cases where colossal symbols fall below regular symbols of smaller sizes, the colossal symbols will crush them. Symbols that are the same size, bonus symbols, or wild symbols will not be destroyed.

Zulu Stacks

The Zulu Stacks feature makes it easier for you to land wins and expand the reel set. It is possible to stack symbols two, three or four high.

Spreading Wilds

The wild gold lion symbol also has a special meaning. As it travels across the reels, it will create trails of wilds in each cascade.

Charged Wilds

In reality, they are wilds with extra lives, but they look like Zulu Stacks.

Verdict

All the Gold slots from ELK Studios have been great, but Zulu Gold is a particular standout. This game is both visually stunning and mechanically superb.

Another welcome addition to the free spins bonus is the increasing multipliers.
