In craps, bones is a slang term for dice. The term “bones” has historical roots, as early dice were often made from bones or other similar materials. In craps, the throw of the dice is the central action, and “rolling the bones” is a phrase used to describe this process.
In craps, players place bets on the outcome of the roll or a series of rolls of these dice. The game is known for its fast pace and the wide variety of betting options available. Despite the informal name, the action of rolling the “bones” involves the same standard cubic dice with six faces, numbered 1 through 6, that are used in many other dice games.
