Craps history, like the history of many other casino games is a debatable question. The history of the dice and the dice games history in general is few thousands years old. However, the history of modern craps is a lot shorter – only hundred years. There are several versions to the "true" craps history, yet there are several facts that are accepted by all experts and historians. To begin with, the modern variant of the craps game certainly originates from an ancient English game called Hazard. Some scholars believe that Hazard descended from an Arabic dice game Al Zar and then came to Europe with the merchants. Some evidences for dice games even in Egypt dating back to 2600 BC allow the scientists to be sure that the Arabic world was the place where craps games appeared first. Some evidences indicate that in the time of the Holy Roman Empire the game of craps was also popular. Soldiers in the Roman Legions used to shave down pig knuckles into the shapes of cubes, and toss them onto their inverted shields as a form of entertainment while in camp. Therefore the expression "to roll the bones" appeared. The game Hazard became very popular in England and it was played almost in every tavern in the country. A lot of people, even nobility, liked this game very much and it was played in the most luxuriant casinos of England. Having adopted the game from their neighbors, the French changed the name of it.*The French called this game Craps which is a corruption of "Crabs". Some claim that the French took the game to America while others think it probably went with the British. The history of craps developed and the game got simplified by John H. Winn. In spite of the decrease in the popularity of craps at the beginning of the 1990's craps is still popular thanks to the Internet age. Now craps is played online by many people.
