The game Craps is believed to be a descendant of the ancient game Hazard, which was invented around 1125 AD. This game is believed to be invented by the Englishman, Sir Williams of Tyre during the siege of a castle called Hazarth or Asart, therefore the name of the game is corruption of the name of that castle. But there is another story to the origination of the game , in Encyclopedia Britannica it is written that Hazard came from Arabic words ‘al zar’ or ‘azzah’ which in english means “the dice” and so this suggests that Hazard (later Craps) was invented in Arabia .

After its invention the country of England fell in love with the game , frequently mentioned in the Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer and played by the Englishmen through the centuries . Sometime around 15-16th century the French took up playing the Hazard and its believed that they changed the name to Craps, using a corruption in the name given to a losing throw of 2 when playing Hazard, known as ‘crabs’.

Later the game came to America through the French Louisiana colony of Arcadia. It was later simplified and turned to the first version of craps in 1813 by Bernard de Mandeville of New Orleans. With these changes the game start to spread in the United States of America and became popular through the rich men. But the Mandeville’s version of Craps had a major flaw – it was vulnerable to to the use of fixed dice to its betting rules, this problem was fixed by John H. Winn who introduced the possibility for players to bet ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ in the layout of the craps table event included a space for ‘Don’t Pass’ bets. With these changes the flaw was eliminated and the game – revolutionized .

Over the years the game of Craps became more and more popular . The soldiers of WWI and WWII played the game relentlessly as a form to entertain themselves. . Even movies were using the game in their story lines as casino craps took over the gambling word.
