Craps history, like the history of many other casino games is a debatable question. The scholars suppose that dice and dice games in general appeared few thousands years ago. However modern craps appeared much later - only hundred years ago. There exist some versions cocerning craps history and there are not many facts that are considered to be true. To begin with, the modern variant of the craps game certainly originates from an ancient English game called Hazard. One point of view is that an Arabic dice game called "Al Zar" was the ancestor of craps which was brought to Europe by 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. There is also an evidence that a form of craps can be dated back to the time of the Holy Roman Empire. Roman soldiers shaved down pig knuckles into the shapes of cubes, and tossed them onto their inverted shields for entertainment while in camp. Therefore the expression "to roll the bones" appeared. By the 17th century there wasn't a single tavern in England where the game Hazard wasn't played as it became very famous. A lot of people, even nobility, liked this game very much and it was played in the most luxuriant casinos of England. 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 game was called 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. A great number of people play craps online nowadays.
