Be brilliant, play brilliant, and discover how to play craps the proper way!
Dice and dice games goes all the way back to the Crusades, but current craps is approximately 100 years old. Modern craps developed from the ancient Anglo game referred to as Hazard. No one absolutely knows the birth of the game, however Hazard is believed to have been invented by the Anglo, Sir William of Tyre, sometime in the twelfth century. It is theorized that Sir William’s paladins played Hazard amid a blockade on the castle Hazarth in 1125 AD. The name Hazard was gotten from the citadel’s name.
Early French settlers imported the game Hazard to Nova Scotia. In the 18th century, when expelled by the English, the French moved down south and settled in the south of Louisiana where they after a while became known as Cajuns. When they departed Acadia, they brought their best-loved game, Hazard, with them. The Cajuns simplified the game and made it mathematically fair. It’s believed that the Cajuns changed the title to craps, which is gotten from the term for the bad luck throw of 2 in the game of Hazard, known as "crabs."
From Louisiana, the game moved to the Mississippi scows and throughout the nation. A great many think the dice builder John H. Winn as the founder of modern craps. In 1907, Winn developed the current craps setup. He created the Do not Pass line so players can wager on the dice to not win. At another time, he developed the spots for Place wagers and added the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.
