Continuing our tutorial on learning the numerous craps terms, let's start where we left off in Part 4. The following terms cover the letters P to R in alphabetical order. Craps terms beginning with other letters are defined in my other articles.

Parlay = Keep all your winnings in action by adding all the winnings of a particular bet to that original bet.
Pass Line = A bet that the shooter will make the point.
Past Posting = Making a bet after the dice have stopped rolling.
Penny = $1 cheques.
Penny Any = A $1 Any Craps bet.
Pips = The dots on a die.
Pit = The area around which all tables are situated. Where the floor people monitor the tables and employees.
Place = A bet that a specific number (i.e., 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10) will appear before a 7.
Player's Card = A casino club card issued to a player that the player uses while gambling so the casino can track the player's play for comps and other business purposes.
Player Position = Each player's position at the table. Typically a maximum of eight players per side. Positions are sequenced 1 through 8 starting at the stickman and moving around the rail to the dealer.
Point = The number that appears on the come-out roll, either a 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10. For a Pass Line bet, the shooter wins by rolling that same number again before a 7.
Point Box = The boxes for the numbers 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, and 10 in or around which Place bets, Come bets, Don't Come bets, Buy bets, and Lay bets are positioned.
Point Number = A box number.
Press = Double the bet.
Pressure = To press a bet.
Proposition Bet = A one-roll bet typically identified in the layout on the center of the table.
Puck = The plastic disk the dealers use to mark the point. The white side reads "on," the black side reads "off."
Purple = $500 cheques.
Quarter = A $25 cheque.
Rack = The grooved rail around the edge of the table where players hold their cheques.
Red Light = Dealers aren't allowed to hustle tips.
Rhythmic Roller = A dice setter.
Right Bettor = A player who bets with the dice (i.e., that the shooter will make a point before a 7). A Pass Line bettor.
