> “We killed most of the cards-based craps games, including one at Agua Caliente casino near Palm Springs. That’s where we won $335,000

I grew up a few miles east of this casino, I wondered where craps went when I ended up there during a bachelor party.

I don't understand what "cards-based craps" is. I'm only familiar with the dice kind.

It's explained pretty exhaustively in this article.

Take 12 cards, 2 sets of 1 through 6. Shuffle and deal one from each set to the player. This is identical to rolling the dice.
