Be cunning, play clever, and discover how to play craps the proper way!
Dice and dice games goes back to the Crusades, but modern craps is approximately a century old. Modern craps evolved from the old Anglo game referred to as Hazard. No one knows for certain the ancestry of the game, but Hazard is said to have been invented by the Englishman, Sir William of Tyre, around the twelfth century. It’s theorized that Sir William’s soldiers enjoyed Hazard amid a siege on the castle Hazarth in 1125 AD. The name Hazard was gotten from the fortification’s name.
Early French colonizers imported the game Hazard to Acadia. In the 18th century, when banished by the British, the French headed down south and discovered sanctuary in southern Louisiana where they at a later time became known as Cajuns. When they departed Acadia, they took their favorite game, Hazard, along. The Cajuns broke down the game and made it mathematically fair. It’s believed that the Cajuns altered the title to craps, which is gotten from the term for the losing toss of snake-eyes in the game of Hazard, known as "crabs."
From Louisiana, the game moved to the Mississippi riverboats and across the country. A great many think the dice maker John H. Winn as the creator of modern craps. In the early 1900s, Winn assembled the current craps setup. He created the Do not Pass line so gamblers can wager on the dice to not win. At another time, he invented the spaces for Place wagers and added the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.
