Master Craps – Tips and Techniques: The History of Craps
March 11th, 2020 by Aliyah

Be clever, play brilliant, and master craps the ideal way!

Games that use dice and the dice themselves date back to the Crusades, but modern craps is just about one hundred years old. Current craps come about from the old Anglo game referred to as Hazard. No one knows for sure the birth of the game, but Hazard is believed to have been made up by the Englishman, Sir William of Tyre, sometime in the twelfth century. It’s presumed that Sir William’s knights bet on Hazard amid a blockade on the fortress Hazarth in 1125 AD. The name Hazard was gotten from the citadel’s name.

Early French colonizers imported the game Hazard to Nova Scotia. In the 18th century, when banished by the British, the French moved south and settled in the south of Louisiana where they after a while became known as Cajuns. When they left Acadia, they brought their favored game, Hazard, along. The Cajuns broke down the game and made it mathematically fair. It’s believed that the Cajuns altered the name to craps, which was gotten from the name of the losing throw of 2 in the game of Hazard, known as "crabs."

From Louisiana, the game extended to the Mississippi scows and all over the nation. Many think the dice maker John H. Winn as the creator of modern craps. In the early 1900s, Winn assembled the current craps layout. He put in place the Don’t Pass line so players can wager on the dice to lose. Afterwords, he invented the spaces for Place bets and added the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.
