Be brilliant, play cunning, and discover how to play craps the ideal way!
Games that use dice and the dice themselves date all the way back to the Crusades, but current craps is only about a century old. Modern craps come about from the old English game referred to as Hazard. Nobody knows for certain the ancestry of the game, however Hazard is believed to have been invented by the Englishman, Sir William of Tyre, around the 12th century. It’s theorized that Sir William’s soldiers bet 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 brought the game Hazard to Acadia. In the 18th century, when displaced by the English, the French moved south and discovered refuge in southern Louisiana where they at a later time became known as Cajuns. When they were driven out of Acadia, they brought their best-loved game, Hazard, along. The Cajuns broke down the game and made it fair mathematically. It is said that the Cajuns altered the title to craps, which was acquired from the name of the losing toss of snake-eyes in the game of Hazard, known as "crabs."
From Louisiana, the game extended to the Mississippi river boats and across the nation. A good many consider the dice maker John H. Winn as the father of modern craps. In 1907, Winn developed the modern craps setup. He created the Don’t Pass line so players can bet on the dice to lose. At another time, he designed the spaces for Place bets and added the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.
