The History of Casino Craps

[ English ]

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

The game evolved as it spread out from the Arab regions to Europe and then to England. By the early eighteenth century, formal established rules for Hazard had been established. France adopted the British variation of Hazard and is thought to have been imported to the us by early French colonists. In the mid-1700s, when the English beat the French in British North America, the French colonists relocated to Louisiana. Dice were played on river boats, clubs and wharfs and a modernized ‘US’ style of Craps was created. The game moved west and is a popular game that is competed in all over the U.S. and throughout the planet.

The name ‘Craps’ is presumed to be a French pronunciation of the term crabs, which alludes to a pair of ones. There are 2 general varieties of Craps that are played-street Craps and casino Craps. Street caps, aptly named since it is gambled on the streets is where a hurler establishes a point and then tries to make that point. The wagering is made either with or opposed to the hurler and somebody must cover the wager for the game of craps to carry on.

In bank Craps, which is the popular game, played in casinos, the betting house funds the casino game. The players play against the house-the casino covers all of the bets of all of the individuals. Craps used to be a quite loved casino game but in the past 20 years had divided itself and other games, such as poker and blackjack became even more well-liked. However, Craps is observing a surge in popularity once again in net casinos and in real world betting houses.
