Be cunning, play brilliant, and master craps the correct way!
Games that use dice and the dice themselves date all the way back to the Crusades, but modern craps is approximately one hundred years old. Modern craps formed from the old English game referred to as Hazard. No one knows for certain the ancestry of the game, however Hazard is believed to have been discovered by the Anglo, Sir William of Tyre, around the 12th century. It is supposed that Sir William’s soldiers played Hazard through a blockade on the castle Hazarth in 1125 AD. The title Hazard was gotten from the fortress’s name.
Early French colonists brought the game Hazard to Canada. In the 1700s, when displaced by the English, the French moved down south and settled in the south of Louisiana where they after a while became known as Cajuns. When they were driven out of Acadia, they brought their best-loved game, Hazard, with them. The Cajuns simplified the game and made it fair mathematically. It is said that the Cajuns altered the title to craps, which is gotten from the name of the losing toss of 2 in the game of Hazard, known as "crabs."
From Louisiana, the game extended to the Mississippi river boats and all over the country. A few think the dice maker John H. Winn as the father of modern craps. In 1907, Winn created the current craps layout. He added the Do not Pass line so gamblers can wager on the dice to lose. Later, he created the spots for Place wagers and added the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.
