Be clever, play brilliant, and pickup craps the correct way!
Games that use dice and the dice themselves goes all the way back to the Crusades, but current craps is approximately 100 years old. Current craps evolved from the ancient English game referred to as Hazard. Nobody absolutely knows the ancestry of the game, but Hazard is believed to have been discovered by the Englishman, Sir William of Tyre, in the 12th century. It’s presumed that Sir William’s soldiers enjoyed Hazard through a blockade on the citadel Hazarth in 1125 AD. The name Hazard was gotten from the citadel’s name.
Early French colonizers imported the game Hazard to Nova Scotia. In the 1700s, when driven away by the English, the French relocated south and discovered sanctuary in the south of Louisiana where they at a later time became Cajuns. When they were driven out of Acadia, they brought their preferred game, Hazard, with them. The Cajuns simplified the game and made it mathematically fair. It’s said that the Cajuns changed the title to craps, which is gotten from the term for the bad luck throw of two in the game of Hazard, referred to as "crabs."
From Louisiana, the game moved to the Mississippi scows and throughout the nation. Many acknowledge the dice builder John H. Winn as the father of modern craps. In 1907, Winn built the current craps layout. He put in place the Do not Pass line so players can bet on the dice to not win. Afterwords, he developed the spaces for Place wagers and put in place the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.
