Be brilliant, play clever, and master craps the right way!
Games that use dice and the dice themselves goes back to the Middle Eastern Crusades, but modern craps is approximately a century old. Current craps developed from the old English game called Hazard. Nobody knows for certain the beginnings of the game, but Hazard is believed to have been invented by the Englishman, Sir William of Tyre, in the twelfth century. It is presumed that Sir William’s paladins gambled on Hazard through a siege on the fortification Hazarth in 1125 AD. The name Hazard was gotten from the citadel’s name.
Early French colonizers imported the game Hazard to Nova Scotia. In the 18th century, when driven away by the British, the French relocated down south and settled in the south of Louisiana where they after a while became known as Cajuns. When they fled Acadia, they brought their favorite game, Hazard, along. The Cajuns broke down the game and made it more mathematically fair. It’s believed that the Cajuns altered the name to craps, which was derived from the name of the non-winning toss of 2 in the game of Hazard, known as "crabs."
From Louisiana, the game moved to the Mississippi barges and all over the country. A great many think the dice builder John H. Winn as the founder of current craps. In the early 1900s, Winn built the current craps setup. He created the Don’t Pass line so gamblers could bet on the dice to lose. Afterwords, he developed the spots for Place wagers and put in place the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.
