There are a lot of debates concerning craps history. The scholars suppose that dice and dice games in general appeared few thousands years ago. However, the history of modern craps is a lot shorter – only hundred years. The scientists have some different points of view about craps history and accept a few facts as true. An ancient English game called Hazard is considered by most of the scientists to be the ancestor of the modern craps. 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. Some evidences indicate that in the time of the Holy Roman Empire the game of craps was also popular. Being in camp, Roman soldiers used to shave down pig knuckles into the shapes of cubes, and toss them onto their inverted shields as a form of entertainment. That is why we use the term "to roll the bones" nowadays. 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. Having adopted the game from their neighbors, the French changed the name of it.*New name of the game was Craps which is a corruption of "Crabs". The game could have been brought to America either by the French or by the British. By the 19th century craps was simplified and the modern layout of the game was invented by John H. Winn. 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. Now craps is played online by many people.
