Be smart, play clever, and learn how to play craps the proper way!
Games that use dice and the dice themselves goes all the way back to the Crusades, but modern craps is approximately one hundred years old. Modern craps formed from the 12th Century English game referred to as Hazard. Nobody knows for certain the ancestry of the game, however Hazard is believed to have been created by the Anglo, Sir William of Tyre, in the 12th century. It is theorized that Sir William’s soldiers gambled on Hazard during a blockade on the fortress Hazarth in 1125 AD. The title Hazard was derived from the fortress’s name.
Early French settlers imported the game Hazard to Acadia. In the 1700s, when expelled by the British, the French headed down south and located sanctuary in the south of Louisiana where they after a while became known as Cajuns. When they departed Acadia, they brought their favorite game, Hazard, along. The Cajuns broke down the game and made it mathematically fair. It’s believed that the Cajuns changed the title to craps, which is acquired from the name of the losing throw of snake-eyes in the game of Hazard, recognized as "crabs."
From Louisiana, the game extended to the Mississippi barges and all over the nation. A great many acknowledge the dice builder John H. Winn as the father of modern craps. In 1907, Winn designed the modern craps setup. He created the Do not Pass line so gamblers can bet on the dice to not win. At another time, he created the spaces for Place bets and put in place the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.
