Be brilliant, play brilliant, and master craps the ideal way!
Games that use dice and the dice themselves date back to the Crusades, but current craps is approximately a century old. Current craps evolved from the 12th Century Anglo game called Hazard. Nobody absolutely knows the birth of the game, although Hazard is said to have been invented by the Anglo, Sir William of Tyre, in the 12th century. It’s presumed that Sir William’s soldiers wagered on Hazard amid a blockade on the fortress Hazarth in 1125 AD. The name Hazard was derived from the castle’s name.
Early French colonizers brought the game Hazard to Acadia. In the 1700s, when displaced by the English, the French relocated down south and located sanctuary in southern Louisiana where they a while later became known as Cajuns. When they departed Acadia, they took their preferred game, Hazard, with them. The Cajuns streamlined the game and made it mathematically fair. It is believed that the Cajuns changed the title to craps, which is gotten from the term for the non-winning toss of two in the game of Hazard, known as "crabs."
From Louisiana, the game moved to the Mississippi barges and all over the nation. A few consider the dice maker John H. Winn as the creator of modern craps. In 1907, Winn assembled the modern craps layout. He put in place the Don’t Pass line so players could bet on the dice to lose. Later, he designed the spaces for Place wagers and put in place the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.
