Be clever, play brilliant, and master craps the right way!
Dice and dice games date all the way back to the Crusades, but modern craps is only about a century old. Modern craps come about from the ancient Anglo game called Hazard. Nobody absolutely knows the origin of the game, however Hazard is said to have been invented by the Englishman, Sir William of Tyre, sometime in the 12th century. It’s presumed that Sir William’s paladins bet on Hazard amid a blockade on the citadel Hazarth in 1125 AD. The name Hazard was gotten from the fortress’s name.
Early French colonizers imported the game Hazard to Canada. In the 1700s, when displaced by the British, the French moved south and settled in southern Louisiana where they after a while became known as Cajuns. When they departed Acadia, they took their preferred game, Hazard, along. The Cajuns broke down the game and made it more mathematically fair. It is said that the Cajuns adjusted the name to craps, which was derived from the name of the bad luck toss of two in the game of Hazard, referred to as "crabs."
From Louisiana, the game migrated to the Mississippi river boats and all over the nation. A good many think the dice builder John H. Winn as the father of current craps. In 1907, Winn designed the modern craps setup. He put in place the Don’t Pass line so players can wager on the dice to lose. Later, he created the spots for Place wagers and added the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.
