September 30th, 2025 by Gina

Be smart, play smart, and pickup craps the ideal way!

Games that use dice and the dice themselves date all the way back to the Crusades, but current craps is approximately a century old. Current craps come about from the 12th Century Anglo game called Hazard. No one absolutely knows the origin of the game, however Hazard is believed to have been created by the Englishman, Sir William of Tyre, in the 12th century. It is supposed that Sir William’s soldiers played Hazard amid a blockade on the fortification Hazarth in 1125 AD. The title Hazard was gotten from the castle’s name.

Early French settlers imported the game Hazard to Nova Scotia. In the 1700s, when expelled by the English, the French headed down south and settled in the south of Louisiana where they after a while became Cajuns. When they left Acadia, they took their favored game, Hazard, with them. The Cajuns broke down the game and made it more mathematically fair. It’s said that the Cajuns altered the name to craps, which was gotten from the name of the losing toss of two in the game of Hazard, referred to as "crabs."

From Louisiana, the game extended to the Mississippi riverboats and all over the nation. A few acknowledge the dice maker John H. Winn as the founder of modern craps. In 1907, Winn developed the current craps layout. He appended the Do not Pass line so gamblers could bet on the dice to not win. Later, he designed the boxes for Place wagers and put in place the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.
