Be brilliant, play cunning, and discover how to play craps the proper way!
Dice and dice games date all the way back to the Middle Eastern Crusades, but current craps is approximately a century old. Current craps come about from the ancient Anglo game called Hazard. No one absolutely knows the beginnings of the game, but Hazard is believed to have been made up by the Anglo, Sir William of Tyre, in the 12th century. It is theorized that Sir William’s soldiers bet on Hazard during a blockade on the fortification Hazarth in 1125 AD. The title Hazard was gotten from the fortress’s name.
Early French colonizers imported the game Hazard to Canada. In the 18th century, when expelled by the British, the French headed down south and discovered refuge in the south of Louisiana where they after a while became known as Cajuns. When they were driven out of Acadia, they brought their favored game, Hazard, along. The Cajuns modernized the game and made it more mathematically fair. It’s believed that the Cajuns changed the name to craps, which is acquired from the name of the non-winning throw of 2 in the game of Hazard, known as "crabs."
From Louisiana, the game migrated to the Mississippi river boats and throughout the nation. A great many consider the dice builder John H. Winn as the founder of current craps. In 1907, Winn assembled the current craps setup. He created the Don’t Pass line so players 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.
