Be clever, play clever, and discover how to play craps the ideal way!
Games that use dice and the dice themselves date back to the Middle Eastern Crusades, but current craps is approximately a century old. Current craps developed from the old Anglo game called Hazard. Nobody knows for sure the ancestry of the game, however Hazard is said to have been invented by the Anglo, Sir William of Tyre, around the 12th century. It is believed that Sir William’s horsemen wagered on Hazard through a siege on the citadel Hazarth in 1125 AD. The title Hazard was gotten from the fortress’s name.
Early French colonizers imported the game Hazard to Acadia. In the 1700s, when displaced by the English, the French moved down south and settled in southern Louisiana where they after a while became Cajuns. When they departed Acadia, they took their favorite game, Hazard, with them. The Cajuns broke down the game and made it mathematically fair. It is believed that the Cajuns changed the name to craps, which is derived from the term for the non-winning throw of snake-eyes in the game of Hazard, recognized as "crabs."
From Louisiana, the game extended to the Mississippi river boats and throughout the nation. A good many acknowledge the dice builder John H. Winn as the founder of current craps. In the early 1900s, Winn built the modern craps setup. He appended the Don’t Pass line so players could bet on the dice to not win. Afterwords, he developed the spaces for Place bets and put in place the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.
