Be cunning, play clever, and discover how to play craps the ideal way!
Games that use dice and the dice themselves goes all the way back to the Crusades, but modern craps is approximately a century old. Modern craps come about from the 12th Century English game referred to as Hazard. Nobody absolutely knows the origin of the game, however Hazard is said to have been invented by the Anglo, Sir William of Tyre, in the 12th century. It’s supposed that Sir William’s soldiers wagered on Hazard amid a siege on the fortification Hazarth in 1125 AD. The name Hazard was gotten from the castle’s name.
Early French colonizers brought the game Hazard to Acadia. In the 18th century, when expelled by the English, the French moved south and settled in the south of Louisiana where they after a while became known as Cajuns. When they left Acadia, they took their favorite game, Hazard, along. The Cajuns streamlined the game and made it fair mathematically. It’s said that the Cajuns adjusted the title to craps, which was acquired from the name of the non-winning throw of snake-eyes in the game of Hazard, known as "crabs."
From Louisiana, the game extended to the Mississippi riverboats and all over the nation. Many consider the dice builder John H. Winn as the father of modern craps. In 1907, Winn built the current craps setup. He appended the Do not Pass line so gamblers can bet on the dice to not win. At another time, he designed the boxes for Place wagers and put in place the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.
