👉 The craps weapon, also known as the "craps knife" or "craps cut," is a specialized piece of parlor card weapon used in craps tournaments to gain an unfair advantage. It resembles a small, sharp knife with a pointed tip and is designed to be wielded by the craps dealer or player who wants to manipulate the game's outcome. The weapon is typically held in the dominant hand and used to strike the dealer's exposed cards, particularly the 7, which is known as the "craps point." By hitting the 7, the dealer's total reaches a critical point where they are forced to either double their bet or risk losing everything, often leading to a significant loss for the dealer. This tactic is illegal and considered cheating in most craps games, as it disrupts the game's fairness and integrity.
