Be brilliant, play clever, and learn how to play craps the correct way!
Games that use dice and the dice themselves date all the way back to the Crusades, but current craps is just about 100 years old. Modern craps come about from the ancient Anglo game referred to as Hazard. No one absolutely knows the beginnings of the game, although Hazard is said to have been invented by the Englishman, Sir William of Tyre, around the 12th century. It is theorized that Sir William’s soldiers wagered on Hazard during a siege on the citadel Hazarth in 1125 AD. The title Hazard was gotten from the fortification’s name.
Early French settlers imported the game Hazard to Nova Scotia. In the 18th century, when expelled by the British, the French moved south and discovered safety in southern Louisiana where they after a while became Cajuns. When they left Acadia, they took their favored game, Hazard, with them. The Cajuns modernized the game and made it more mathematically fair. It’s believed that the Cajuns altered the title to craps, which was gotten from the term for the non-winning toss of snake-eyes in the game of Hazard, recognized as "crabs."
From Louisiana, the game moved to the Mississippi river boats and across the country. A good many think the dice builder John H. Winn as the founder of current craps. In 1907, Winn designed the current craps setup. He put in place the Don’t Pass line so gamblers can bet on the dice to lose. At another time, he established the spaces for Place wagers and added the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.
