Be clever, play smart, and master craps the correct way!
Dice and dice games goes back to the Middle Eastern Crusades, but modern craps is just about a century old. Modern craps come about from the ancient Anglo game called Hazard. Nobody absolutely knows the ancestry of the game, but Hazard is believed to have been created by the Englishman, Sir William of Tyre, around the twelfth century. It’s theorized that Sir William’s horsemen enjoyed Hazard amid a blockade on the castle Hazarth in 1125 AD. The name Hazard was gotten from the fortification’s name.
Early French colonists imported the game Hazard to Nova Scotia. In the 1700s, when exiled by the British, the French relocated south and settled in southern Louisiana where they at a later time became known as Cajuns. When they fled Acadia, they took their preferred game, Hazard, along. The Cajuns modernized the game and made it mathematically fair. It is said that the Cajuns changed the name to craps, which was gotten from the term for the losing toss of two in the game of Hazard, recognized as "crabs."
From Louisiana, the game extended to the Mississippi barges and throughout the country. A great many acknowledge the dice builder John H. Winn as the founder of current craps. In the early 1900s, Winn designed the modern craps layout. He put in place the Do not Pass line so gamblers could bet on the dice to lose. Afterwords, he invented the spots for Place bets and added the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.
