The game evolved as it traveled from the Arab countries to France and then England. By the early 1700s, formal rules for Hazard had been established. France adopted the English version of Hazard and is thought to have been brought to America by early French settlers. In the mid-1700s, when the English defeated the French in Canada, the French settlers relocated to Louisiana. Dice were played on river boats, clubs and wharfs and a simplified ‘American’ version of Craps was developed. The game moved west along with the frontier and is a popular game today that is played all over the United States and around the world.

The name ‘Craps’ is believed to be a French pronunciation of the word crabs, which means a pair of ones. There are two basic forms of Craps that are played-street Craps and bank Craps. Street caps, aptly named because it is played on the streets is where a shooter establishes a point and then tries to make that point. The betting is made either for or against the shooter and someone must cover the bet in order for the game to continue. In bank Craps, which is the common game, played in casinos, the casino banks the game. The players play against the house-the casino covers all of the bets of all of the players. Craps used to be a quite popular game but in the last 20 years had divided itself and other games, such as poker and black jack became more popular. However, Craps is seeing a come back in popularity once again in online casinos and in real casinos. |
