Point [Meaning] - MasterTerms.com

Point

A Point in Craps is a number established after the first roll (come-out roll) when the shooter rolls a 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10.

Once a Point is set, the shooter must roll that same number again before rolling a 7 to win. If a 7 is rolled before the Point, it results in a loss, also known as “sevening out.” The Point can only be established after the come-out roll, which is the initial roll of a new round.

Point Example

For example, if the shooter rolls an 8 on the come-out roll, the Point becomes 8. The goal is to roll an 8 again before rolling a 7.

Alternative Meanings:
  • Point
    In Baccarat, cards are valued as follows: aces are worth one point, numbered cards retain their face value, and tens, jacks, queens, and kings are worth zero points. If the total value of the hand exceeds 9, only the last digit is used, meaning a hand with a total of 14 counts as 4 points. The goal is to have a hand as close to 9 points as possible.

    Point Example

    For example, if a player is dealt a 7 and an 8, the total would be 15, but only the last digit is used, so the hand is worth 5 points.
