Be clever, play clever, and master craps the correct way!

Dice and dice games date all the way back to the Crusades, but modern craps is just about a century old. Current craps formed from the old Anglo game referred to as Hazard. Nobody absolutely knows the birth of the game, however Hazard is believed to have been created by the Anglo, Sir William of Tyre, in the twelfth century. It is theorized that Sir William’s horsemen gambled on Hazard during a siege on the fortress Hazarth in 1125 AD. The title Hazard was gotten from the citadel’s name.

Early French settlers imported the game Hazard to Canada. In the 1700s, when expelled by the English, the French headed south and located sanctuary in the south of Louisiana where they after a while became Cajuns. When they were driven out of Acadia, they took their best-loved game, Hazard, with them. The Cajuns simplified the game and made it mathematically fair. It is said that the Cajuns adjusted the title to craps, which was gotten from the name of the non-winning toss of two in the game of Hazard, recognized as "crabs."

From Louisiana, the game moved to the Mississippi riverboats and all over the country. A great many think the dice maker John H. Winn as the father of current craps. In 1907, Winn designed the modern craps layout. He created the Don’t Pass line so gamblers can bet on the dice to not win. Afterwords, he invented the spaces for Place wagers and added the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.
