Be brilliant, play brilliant, and discover how to play craps the proper way!
Dice and dice games date back to the Crusades, but current craps is just about one hundred years old. Current craps come about from the ancient English game referred to as Hazard. Nobody absolutely knows the birth of the game, although Hazard is believed to have been created by the Anglo, Sir William of Tyre, around the 12th century. It’s presumed that Sir William’s paladins played Hazard during a siege on the fortification Hazarth in 1125 AD. The title Hazard was gotten from the castle’s name.
Early French settlers imported the game Hazard to Acadia. In the 1700s, when expelled by the British, the French moved south and settled in the south of Louisiana where they at a later time became known as Cajuns. When they were driven out of Acadia, they took their favored game, Hazard, along. The Cajuns streamlined the game and made it mathematically fair. It is said that the Cajuns adjusted the title to craps, which is gotten from the name of the losing throw of two in the game of Hazard, recognized as "crabs."
From Louisiana, the game extended to the Mississippi riverboats and throughout the nation. A great many consider the dice maker John H. Winn as the founder of current craps. In the early 1900s, Winn designed the current craps layout. He put in place the Don’t Pass line so players could wager on the dice to not win. Later, he established the boxes for Place wagers and put in place the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.
