Be brilliant, play smart, and discover how to play craps the ideal way!
Dice and dice games date all the way back to the Middle Eastern Crusades, but current craps is just about 100 years old. Current craps evolved from the 12th Century Anglo game called Hazard. Nobody absolutely knows the origin of the game, although Hazard is said to have been discovered by the Englishman, Sir William of Tyre, sometime in the 12th century. It’s believed that Sir William’s soldiers gambled on Hazard amid a siege on the fortress Hazarth in 1125 AD. The title Hazard was acquired from the castle’s name.
Early French colonizers imported the game Hazard to Canada. In the 18th century, when driven away by the English, the French headed down south and located sanctuary 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 modernized the game and made it fair mathematically. It is believed that the Cajuns changed the name to craps, which was gotten from the term for the non-winning toss of two in the game of Hazard, referred to as "crabs."
From Louisiana, the game moved to the Mississippi barges and throughout the nation. Many acknowledge the dice maker John H. Winn as the father of modern craps. In the early 1900s, Winn built the current craps layout. He put in place the Do not Pass line so players could wager on the dice to not win. At another time, he created the spaces for Place bets and put in place the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.
