Be cunning, play brilliant, and learn how to play craps the right way!
Games that use dice and the dice themselves date all the way back to the Middle Eastern Crusades, but current craps is just about one hundred years old. Modern craps evolved from the 12th Century English game referred to as Hazard. No one absolutely knows the origin of the game, but Hazard is believed to have been created by the Anglo, Sir William of Tyre, in the 12th century. It’s theorized that Sir William’s knights gambled on Hazard through a blockade on the castle Hazarth in 1125 AD. The name Hazard was derived from the castle’s name.
Early French colonists brought the game Hazard to Canada. In the 18th century, when driven away by the British, the French relocated south and discovered refuge in the south of Louisiana where they after a while became Cajuns. When they departed Acadia, they took their best-loved game, Hazard, with them. The Cajuns modernized the game and made it more mathematically fair. It’s believed that the Cajuns changed the title to craps, which was gotten from the name of the non-winning throw of two in the game of Hazard, referred to as "crabs."
From Louisiana, the game moved to the Mississippi scows and across the nation. A great many consider the dice maker John H. Winn as the father of modern craps. In the early 1900s, Winn developed the modern craps setup. He added the Do not Pass line so gamblers could wager on the dice to lose. Later, he created the spaces for Place wagers and put in place the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.
