The History of Craps
Introduction
Craps, a thrilling dice game with a rich history, traces its roots back to an ancient game called Hazard. This game, thought to be a descendant of the Arabic game Azzahr, was introduced by Bernard de Mandeville in 1813 in New Orleans.
Evolution of the Game
As Hazard journeyed from Arab countries to France and England, formal rules were established by the early 1700s. The French adopted the English variant, and early settlers brought it to America. Following the English victory over the French in Canada in the mid-1700s, French settlers relocated to Louisiana. Here, the American version of Craps began to take shape, evolving on riverboats, clubs, and wharfs across the country. Today, Craps is popular throughout the United States and worldwide.
Understanding the Name
The name "Craps" likely originates from the French pronunciation of "crabs," referring to a pair of ones. The game has two main forms: street Craps and bank Craps.
- Street Craps is played informally on the streets. A shooter establishes a point and attempts to hit that point, with bets placed for or against the shooter.
- Bank Craps, the version commonly found in casinos, is where players compete against the house, which covers all bets.
Popularity and Appeal
Though Craps' popularity waned with the rise of poker and blackjack, it is experiencing a resurgence in both online and brick-and-mortar casinos. The game's appeal lies in its social nature, often characterized by lively interactions at the table. It's both a team effort and a chance for individual gain, with the potential for significant winnings.
Getting Started with Craps
At first glance, Craps might seem complex. However, once you understand the rules and dynamics, it becomes an engaging and straightforward game to follow.
In conclusion, Craps is not only a game of chance but also a social experience, captivating players with its rich history and the excitement it brings to the casino floor.
