What “puppy paws” equal, in craps Crossword Clue

 A pair of fives in craps is called "puppy paws." This is a slang term that is thought to come from the fact that the dice that make up a pair of fives look like puppy paws.

In craps, the goal is to roll a 7 or 11 on your first roll. If you do, you win. If you roll any other number, that number becomes your point. You must then roll that number again before rolling a 7. If you roll a 7 before rolling your point, you lose.

A pair of fives is a good roll in craps because it is a relatively low number that is easy to roll again. If you roll a pair of fives on your first roll, you have a good chance of winning the game.

Seven out: Rolling a 7 on your first roll. This is a losing roll.
