The player simply announces or calls out what their wager should be and the casino extends credit to him or her. When a player places a call bet, they practically have the dealer or another staff member book a bet for them provided that they don't have any chips left on the rack or enough money in hand to convert to more chips. It would be best to start by explaining in more detail what a call bet is. The reason for this is simple, most brick and mortar venues do not accept the so-called “Call” bets at their craps tables so players are not allowed to participate in the game on credit.
Of course, in order to make a wager, one is expected to have enough chips or money to exchange for more chips to play with.
