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

Dice and dice games goes all the way back to the Middle Eastern Crusades, but modern craps is only about one hundred years old. Modern craps developed from the ancient Anglo game referred to as Hazard. Nobody absolutely knows the beginnings of the game, although Hazard is said to have been discovered by the Anglo, Sir William of Tyre, sometime in the twelfth century. It is supposed that Sir William’s knights bet on Hazard amid a blockade on the citadel Hazarth in 1125 AD. The title Hazard was gotten from the citadel’s name.

Early French colonizers imported the game Hazard to Canada. In the 18th century, when banished by the British, the French relocated down south and discovered sanctuary in the south of Louisiana where they a while later became Cajuns. When they fled Acadia, they took their best-loved game, Hazard, with them. The Cajuns streamlined the game and made it mathematically fair. It is believed that the Cajuns adjusted the name to craps, which is gotten from the term for the bad luck throw of two in the game of Hazard, known as "crabs."

From Louisiana, the game extended to the Mississippi river boats and across the nation. A few think the dice maker John H. Winn as the creator of modern craps. In 1907, Winn developed the modern craps layout. He added the Don’t Pass line so gamblers could wager on the dice to lose. Afterwords, he invented the spots for Place wagers and put in place the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.
