Be brilliant, play brilliant, and master craps the ideal way!
Dice and dice games goes all the way back to the Crusades, but modern craps is approximately a century old. Current craps formed from the 12th Century English game called Hazard. No one knows for certain the origin of the game, but Hazard is said to have been made up by the Englishman, Sir William of Tyre, in the twelfth century. It’s supposed that Sir William’s paladins enjoyed Hazard through a siege on the fortification Hazarth in 1125 AD. The name Hazard was gotten from the fortification’s name.
Early French colonists brought the game Hazard to Canada. In the 18th century, when exiled by the British, the French moved down south and settled in southern Louisiana where they a while later became known as Cajuns. When they fled Acadia, they brought their favorite game, Hazard, with them. The Cajuns modernized the game and made it fair mathematically. It’s said that the Cajuns altered the name to craps, which is gotten from the name of the bad luck toss of two in the game of Hazard, recognized as "crabs."
From Louisiana, the game extended to the Mississippi barges and all over the nation. A few acknowledge the dice builder John H. Winn as the founder of modern craps. In the early 1900s, Winn assembled the modern craps layout. He added the Don’t Pass line so players could wager on the dice to not win. Afterwords, he invented the spots for Place bets and added the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.
