There is no certain point of view about craps history even nowadays. The history of the dice and the dice games history in general is few thousands years old. But modern craps is much younger - only hundred years old. There exist some versions cocerning craps history and there are not many facts that are considered to be true. First, it is known that the craps game we know and play today originated from an ancient English game called Hazard. There are scholars that believe Hazard originated from an Arabic dice game called "Al Zar" which means "dice" in Arabic and perhaps the game migrated to Europe with the help of merchants even before the 12th century. 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 exist some facts according to which a form of craps was played in 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. Hence we get the term "to roll the bones". The game Hazard received much popularity in England and in the 17th century there wasn't a single tavern in England where the game Hazard wasn't very well known. A lot of people, even nobility, liked this game very much and it was played in the most luxuriant casinos of England. Later the game was adopted by the French but the name of it was changed.*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. 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. Everyday thousands of people play online craps.
