There are a lot of debates concerning craps history. The history of the dice and the dice games history in general is few thousands years old. However modern craps appeared much later - only hundred years ago. There are several versions to the "true" craps history, yet there are several facts that are accepted by all experts and historians. An ancient English game called Hazard is considered by most of the scientists to be the ancestor of the modern craps. Some scholars believe that Hazard descended from an Arabic dice game Al Zar and then came to Europe with the merchants. Thanks to some evidences for dice games even in Egypt dating back to 2600 BC we can conclude that dice games were really created in the Arabic world. There is also an evidence that a form of craps can be dated back to the time of the Holy Roman Empire. 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. That is why we use the term "to roll the bones" nowadays. The game Hazard became very popular in England and it was played almost in every tavern in the country. Many of the nobility played this game in luxuries casinos. The French adopted the game from their neighbors across the English Channel but changed the name in order to distinguish themselves from the Englishmen.*The French called this game Craps which is a corruption of "Crabs". The game could have been brought to America either by the French or by the British. At the beginning of the 19th century craps history takes another turn as John H. Winn simplified Craps and invented the modern layout to the game. But as the decades past, and especially at the beginning of the 1990's, slots caused a decrease in the popularity of craps games, but thanks to the Internet age the game managed to pull back its honor. A great number of people play craps online nowadays.
