History & Background

Craps evolved from an English dice game called "Hazard," which dates back to at least the Crusades era (12th-13th century). Legend attributes Hazard's invention to Sir William of Tyre during the siege of a castle called "Hazarth."

The game was brought to New Orleans by French-Creole colonists, who called it "Crapaud" (French for "toad") - possibly because players crouched on sidewalks like toads while playing.

In 1907, American dice maker John H. Winn revolutionized the game by inventing the "Don't Pass" bet, which allowed players to bet against the shooter. This eliminated the need for rigged dice and made Craps fair for casinos.

Street Craps (the two-player version) remains popular in urban areas. The game uses simpler rules than casino Craps, focusing on the pass/don't pass mechanic. During WWII, American soldiers spread Craps globally, and it became one of the world's most popular dice games.
