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

Dice and dice games date all the way back to the Middle Eastern Crusades, but current craps is approximately one hundred years old. Current craps formed from the ancient English game called Hazard. Nobody absolutely knows the beginnings of the game, but Hazard is said to have been discovered by the Englishman, Sir William of Tyre, sometime in the 12th century. It's theorized that Sir William's horsemen gambled on Hazard through a siege on the fortification Hazarth in 1125 AD. The title Hazard was gotten from the citadel's name.

Early French settlers brought the game Hazard to Acadia. In the 1700s, when exiled by the English, the French relocated down south and located safety in southern Louisiana where they after a while became Cajuns. When they were driven out of Acadia, they took their favorite game, Hazard, with them. The Cajuns simplified the game and made it fair mathematically. It is believed that the Cajuns adjusted the title to craps, which was derived 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 river boats and all over the country. Many consider the dice maker John H. Winn as the father of current craps. In 1907, Winn built the modern craps setup. He created the Don't Pass line so players could bet on the dice to lose. At another time, he created the spots for Place bets and added the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.
