Be brilliant, play brilliant, and discover how to play craps the right way!
Games that use dice and the dice themselves goes back to the Crusades, but current craps is just about 100 years old. Current craps come about from the old English game referred to as Hazard. Nobody absolutely knows the birth of the game, although Hazard is believed to have been discovered by the Englishman, Sir William of Tyre, sometime in the twelfth century. It is presumed that Sir William’s soldiers played Hazard through a siege on the fortress Hazarth in 1125 AD. The title Hazard was gotten from the fortification’s name.
Early French settlers imported the game Hazard to Canada. In the 18th century, when displaced by the English, the French relocated down south and found sanctuary in the south of Louisiana where they at a later time became Cajuns. When they fled Acadia, they took their preferred game, Hazard, along. The Cajuns modernized the game and made it fair mathematically. It is said that the Cajuns changed the title to craps, which was acquired from the term for the bad luck toss of two in the game of Hazard, recognized as "crabs."
From Louisiana, the game moved to the Mississippi riverboats and across the nation. A great many acknowledge the dice maker John H. Winn as the founder of current craps. In the early 1900s, Winn created the current craps layout. He added the Do not Pass line so players can wager on the dice to lose. At another time, he created the spaces for Place wagers and put in place the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.
