The background of Craps dates back to a dice game referred to as Hazard, which dates back to Bernard de Mandeville in New Orleans in 1813. Hazard is thought to be a descendant of Azzahr, which means ‘the die’ a game played by Arabs.

The game evolved as it spread out from the Arab territories to Europe and then England. By the early 1700s, cultivated rules for Hazard had been developed. France adopted the English version of Hazard and is assumed to have been imported to the us by early French colonists. In the mid-18th century, when the British defeated the French in Canada, the French settlers migrated to Louisiana. Dice were played on river boats, casinos and wharfs and a modernized ‘US’ variation of Craps was developed. The game moved west and is a popular game that is played all over the United States and around the world.

The name ‘Craps’ is presumed to be a French expression of the word crabs, which alludes to a pair of ones. There are two general forms of Craps that are enjoyed-street Craps and casino Craps. Street caps, accurately called since it is played on the streets is where a tosser sets a point and then attempts to roll that point. The betting is made either for or against the tosser and a player must cover the wager in order for the game to carry on.

In casino Craps, which is the normal game, played in betting houses, the casino banks the game. The participants play against the casino-the house covers all of the bets of all of the individuals. Craps was a very popular game but in the last 20 years had divided itself and different games, like poker and black jack became more well-loved. However, Craps is observing a surge in fame once again in internet betting houses and in real world casinos.
