Be brilliant, play cunning, and master craps the correct way!
Dice and dice games date back to the Crusades, but modern craps is approximately 100 years old. Current craps evolved from the ancient English game called Hazard. No one absolutely knows the beginnings of the game, but Hazard is said to have been created by the Anglo, Sir William of Tyre, around the twelfth century. It’s theorized that Sir William’s paladins bet on Hazard through a siege on the castle Hazarth in 1125 AD. The title Hazard was acquired from the fortress’s name.
Early French colonizers imported the game Hazard to Canada. In the 1700s, when displaced 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 fled Acadia, they took their favored game, Hazard, along. The Cajuns broke down the game and made it fair mathematically. It is believed that the Cajuns altered the title to craps, which is acquired from the name of the non-winning toss of snake-eyes in the game of Hazard, recognized as "crabs."
From Louisiana, the game migrated to the Mississippi barges and across the nation. A great many consider the dice builder John H. Winn as the creator of current craps. In the early 1900s, Winn designed the modern craps setup. He added the Don’t Pass line so gamblers can wager on the dice to lose. Afterwords, he established the spots for Place wagers and added the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.
