Be brilliant, play brilliant, and master craps the right way!
Games that use dice and the dice themselves goes all the way back to the Crusades, but current craps is just about one hundred years old. Current craps come about from the old Anglo game referred to as Hazard. Nobody absolutely knows the birth of the game, although Hazard is said to have been discovered by the Englishman, Sir William of Tyre, in the twelfth century. It is presumed that Sir William’s horsemen enjoyed Hazard amid a blockade on the castle Hazarth in 1125 AD. The name Hazard was gotten from the castle’s name.
Early French settlers brought the game Hazard to Canada. In the 1700s, when driven away by the British, the French headed down south and found refuge in the south of Louisiana where they at a later time became known as Cajuns. When they left Acadia, they brought their preferred game, Hazard, with them. The Cajuns simplified the game and made it mathematically fair. It’s believed that the Cajuns adjusted the title to craps, which was gotten from the name of the non-winning toss of snake-eyes in the game of Hazard, recognized as "crabs."
From Louisiana, the game moved to the Mississippi barges and throughout the country. A good 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 created the Don’t Pass line so players could bet 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.
