This term is commonly used by Craps players to refer to a specific roll of the dice, where the outcome equals four. The phrase “Little Joe” specifically applies when the roll is made with a 1 on one die and a 3 on the other. While four can be achieved through other combinations, this particular roll has become associated with the nickname.
Little Joe Example
For example, a shooter rolls the dice, and it lands on a 1 and a 3, which totals four. The players might exclaim, “Little Joe!”
