crapgame
Rolling for stakes
A crapgame is a session of craps—the dice gambling game where players bet on the outcome of rolled dice.
The term often suggests informal or street gambling rather than casino play: There was a crapgame going on in the alley behind the bar.
Also spelled as two words: crap game.
