Be clever, play smart, and master craps the ideal way!
Dice and dice games goes back to the Crusades, but current craps is only about one hundred years old. Current craps formed from the 12th Century Anglo game referred to as Hazard. Nobody knows for certain the origin of the game, however Hazard is believed to have been made up by the Englishman, Sir William of Tyre, in the 12th century. It is supposed that Sir William’s soldiers played Hazard through a blockade on the castle Hazarth in 1125 AD. The name Hazard was gotten from the castle’s name.
Early French settlers brought the game Hazard to Canada. In the 18th century, when driven away by the English, the French moved down south and discovered refuge in the south of Louisiana where they at a later time became Cajuns. When they fled Acadia, they brought their favored game, Hazard, with them. The Cajuns broke down the game and made it fair mathematically. It’s believed that the Cajuns adjusted the name to craps, which was derived from the name of the losing toss of snake-eyes in the game of Hazard, referred to as "crabs."
From Louisiana, the game extended to the Mississippi river boats and across the nation. A few acknowledge the dice builder John H. Winn as the founder of modern craps. In 1907, Winn created the current craps setup. He added the Don’t Pass line so players can bet on the dice to not win. Later, he established the spots for Place wagers and added the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.
