The recorded history of Craps dates all the way back to a dice game referred to as Hazard, which dates back to Bernard de Mandeville in New Orleans in Early 1800’s. Hazard is believed to be a descendant of Azzahr, meaning ‘the die’ a game played by Arabs.
The game evolved as it spread out from the Arab countries to Europe and then to England. By the early 1700s, formal game rules for Hazard had been established. France adopted the English variation of Hazard and is thought to have been imported to the us by early French colonizers. In the mid-Eighteenth century, when the British defeated the French in Canada, the French settlers moved to Louisiana. Dice were played on river boats, clubs and wharfs and a simplified ‘US’ version of Craps was developed. The game moved west and is a popular game that is participated in all over the United States and throughout the planet.
