Be cunning, play brilliant, and learn how to play craps the correct way!
Games that use dice and the dice themselves date back to the Middle Eastern Crusades, but modern craps is just about one hundred years old. Current craps come about from the 12th Century Anglo game referred to as Hazard. Nobody absolutely knows the beginnings of the game, but Hazard is said to have been made up by the Anglo, Sir William of Tyre, around the 12th century. It’s believed that Sir William’s horsemen played Hazard amid a siege on the fortification Hazarth in 1125 AD. The title Hazard was gotten from the fortress’s name.
Early French colonists imported the game Hazard to Acadia. In the 18th century, when expelled by the British, the French moved down south and settled in the south of Louisiana where they after a while became Cajuns. When they departed Acadia, they brought their best-loved game, Hazard, with them. The Cajuns modernized the game and made it more mathematically fair. It’s said that the Cajuns altered the name to craps, which is derived from the term for the non-winning toss of snake-eyes in the game of Hazard, referred to as "crabs."
From Louisiana, the game migrated to the Mississippi river boats and across the nation. A great many acknowledge the dice builder John H. Winn as the founder of current craps. In the early 1900s, Winn built the modern craps setup. He appended the Don’t Pass line so gamblers can wager on the dice to lose. Later, he established the spaces for Place wagers and added the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.
