Be smart, play clever, 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 a century old. Modern craps developed from the 12th Century English game referred to as Hazard. Nobody absolutely knows the origin of the game, although Hazard is said to have been invented by the Anglo, Sir William of Tyre, around the 12th century. It’s theorized that Sir William’s paladins enjoyed Hazard amid a blockade on the citadel Hazarth in 1125 AD. The title Hazard was gotten from the fortification’s name.
Early French colonizers brought the game Hazard to Canada. In the 1700s, when exiled by the English, the French relocated down south and settled in the south of Louisiana where they a while later became known as Cajuns. When they departed Acadia, they took their favored game, Hazard, along. The Cajuns modernized the game and made it mathematically fair. It is said that the Cajuns adjusted the name to craps, which is derived from the term for the non-winning throw of two in the game of Hazard, referred to as "crabs."
From Louisiana, the game moved to the Mississippi riverboats and all over the nation. A great many think the dice builder John H. Winn as the founder of modern craps. In 1907, Winn created the current craps layout. He created the Don’t Pass line so gamblers could bet on the dice to lose. Afterwords, he invented the boxes for Place wagers and added the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.
