I'm working on a Virtual Boy version of the casino game Craps for my Virtual Boy game "Chris's Casino". But there's one problem: I don't know the rules. I read some rules on Wikipedia and I've implemented "Pass" and "Don't Pass" bets, as well as rolling the dice. I don't understand the "Come" and "Don't Come" bets. If I get this working, I think I'll call it done, since it seems like 4 games is enough.

Like I've said before, I think Video Poker is undoable, at least by me, because of the amount of cards involved and the multitude of ways you can win. I'd have to check the values, suits over and over again, and the code would become so convoluted, I wouldn't know what I had coded before, then I'd become frustrated, and quit.

So I'm asking for a little bit of help for this Craps game. If you're an expert on Craps, please PM me and I'll send you the current Virtual Boy ROM of the game. It's very hot in here, which is odd because it's almost 2 am. I went to sleep at 9am and woke up at 10pm. So hopefully I can be awake to go somewhere. Seems a shame that most small stores open at 11am.
