Be brilliant, play clever, and learn how to play craps the correct way!
Dice and dice games date all the way back to the Crusades, but current craps is approximately 100 years old. Modern craps evolved from the old Anglo game called Hazard. Nobody absolutely knows the beginnings of the game, but Hazard is said to have been discovered by the Englishman, Sir William of Tyre, sometime in the 12th century. It is theorized that Sir William’s paladins gambled on Hazard during a blockade on the fortress Hazarth in 1125 AD. The name Hazard was derived from the fortification’s name.
Early French colonists imported the game Hazard to Acadia. In the 1700s, when exiled by the English, the French headed south and discovered refuge in the south of Louisiana where they after a while became Cajuns. When they left Acadia, they took their favored game, Hazard, along. The Cajuns streamlined the game and made it more mathematically fair. It’s believed that the Cajuns adjusted the name to craps, which was derived from the name of the losing toss of 2 in the game of Hazard, referred to as "crabs."
From Louisiana, the game migrated to the Mississippi scows and all over the country. A good many acknowledge the dice maker John H. Winn as the founder of current craps. In 1907, Winn designed the modern craps setup. He appended the Don’t Pass line so gamblers could bet on the dice to not win. Later, he designed the spots for Place bets and put in place the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.
