Be brilliant, play smart, and master craps the proper way!

Games that use dice and the dice themselves goes back to the Crusades, but modern craps is only about a century old. Current craps formed from the old Anglo game called Hazard. No one absolutely knows the beginnings of the game, however Hazard is believed to have been invented by the Anglo, Sir William of Tyre, sometime in the 12th century. It's theorized that Sir William's horsemen bet on Hazard during a blockade on the castle Hazarth in 1125 AD. The name Hazard was acquired from the fortress's name.

Early French colonists imported the game Hazard to Canada. In the 1700s, when exiled by the British, the French moved south and settled in the south of Louisiana where they a while later became known as Cajuns. When they left Acadia, they took their favorite game, Hazard, along. The Cajuns streamlined the game and made it fair mathematically. It is believed that the Cajuns adjusted the title to craps, which is derived from the term for the bad luck throw of 2 in the game of Hazard, referred to as "crabs."

From Louisiana, the game migrated to the Mississippi river boats and all over the country. A good many acknowledge the dice maker John H. Winn as the creator of modern craps. In 1907, Winn created the modern craps layout. He appended the Don't Pass line so players can wager on the dice to not win. Later, he invented the spots for Place bets and added the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.
