Be brilliant, play clever, and master craps the proper way!
Dice and dice games date back to the Middle Eastern Crusades, but current craps is approximately 100 years old. Modern craps evolved from the ancient Anglo game referred to as Hazard. No one knows for certain the origin of the game, however Hazard is said to have been made up by the Anglo, Sir William of Tyre, in the twelfth century. It is theorized that Sir William’s horsemen gambled on Hazard during a siege on the fortification Hazarth in 1125 AD. The name Hazard was acquired from the castle’s name.
Early French colonists imported the game Hazard to Canada. In the 1700s, when driven away by the British, the French headed down south and discovered safety in southern Louisiana where they after a while became known as Cajuns. When they departed Acadia, they took their preferred game, Hazard, along. The Cajuns modernized the game and made it fair mathematically. It’s believed that the Cajuns adjusted the title to craps, which is gotten from the name of the losing throw of two in the game of Hazard, recognized as "crabs."
From Louisiana, the game migrated to the Mississippi barges and all over the country. A good many acknowledge the dice maker John H. Winn as the father of current craps. In the early 1900s, Winn developed the current craps setup. He added the Don’t Pass line so gamblers could wager on the dice to not win. At another time, he invented the spaces for Place wagers and added the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.
