Be brilliant, play smart, and learn how to play craps the correct way!
Games that use dice and the dice themselves goes back to the Middle Eastern Crusades, but current craps is just about one hundred years old. Modern craps evolved from the old English game referred to as Hazard. No one absolutely knows the origin of the game, however Hazard is believed to have been discovered by the Englishman, Sir William of Tyre, in the twelfth century. It’s supposed that Sir William’s soldiers bet on Hazard through a blockade on the fortification Hazarth in 1125 AD. The title Hazard was derived from the citadel’s name.
Early French settlers imported the game Hazard to Canada. In the 18th century, when banished by the British, the French headed down south and found sanctuary in the south of Louisiana where they after a while became Cajuns. When they departed Acadia, they took their favored game, Hazard, along. The Cajuns modernized the game and made it more mathematically fair. It’s said that the Cajuns changed the title to craps, which is acquired from the term for the bad luck toss of 2 in the game of Hazard, known as "crabs."
From Louisiana, the game extended to the Mississippi river boats and throughout the nation. A good many think the dice maker 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 gamblers can bet on the dice to not win. Afterwords, he created the boxes for Place wagers and added the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.
