Be brilliant, play clever, and pickup craps the ideal way!
Dice and dice games date all the way back to the Crusades, but current craps is approximately a century old. Current craps evolved from the ancient English game called Hazard. Nobody knows for sure the birth of the game, but Hazard is believed to have been created by the Anglo, Sir William of Tyre, around the twelfth century. It is supposed that Sir William’s horsemen played Hazard amid a siege on the fortification Hazarth in 1125 AD. The name Hazard was gotten from the fortification’s name.
Early French colonizers brought the game Hazard to Canada. In the 18th century, when driven away by the British, the French moved down south and found sanctuary in southern Louisiana where they eventually became Cajuns. When they departed Acadia, they brought their favorite game, Hazard, with them. The Cajuns streamlined the game and made it fair mathematically. It’s believed that the Cajuns altered the name to craps, which is acquired from the term for the bad luck toss of two in the game of Hazard, known as "crabs."
From Louisiana, the game migrated to the Mississippi barges and across the country. Many consider the dice builder John H. Winn as the founder of current craps. In 1907, Winn designed the modern craps layout. He appended the Don’t Pass line so players can bet on the dice to lose. Later, he developed the spaces for Place wagers and added the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.
