Be clever, play cunning, and master craps the proper way!
Dice and dice games date back to the Crusades, but modern craps is approximately a century old. Current craps evolved from the ancient English game referred to as Hazard. Nobody absolutely knows the birth of the game, although Hazard is said to have been discovered by the Anglo, Sir William of Tyre, in the twelfth century. It’s believed that Sir William’s horsemen enjoyed Hazard during a blockade on the citadel Hazarth in 1125 AD. The name Hazard was acquired from the fortress’s name.
Early French settlers brought the game Hazard to Canada. In the 1700s, when expelled by the British, the French headed down south and settled in southern Louisiana where they after a while became Cajuns. When they fled Acadia, they took their preferred game, Hazard, with them. The Cajuns modernized the game and made it fair mathematically. It is said that the Cajuns changed the title to craps, which was gotten from the name of the non-winning toss of two in the game of Hazard, known as "crabs."
From Louisiana, the game moved to the Mississippi riverboats and throughout the country. A few think the dice builder John H. Winn as the founder of current craps. In 1907, Winn built the modern craps layout. He put in place the Do not Pass line so players can wager on the dice to not win. Later, he developed the spaces for Place wagers and put in place the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.
