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, the history of modern craps is a lot shorter – only hundred years. 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. 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. There are evidences for dice games even in Egypt dating back to 2600 BC which may prove that dice games did originate in the Arabic world. Some evidences indicate that in the time of the Holy Roman Empire the game of craps was also popular. 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. 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. The game was played in luxuries casinos and many of the nobility were fond of Hazard. Having adopted the game from their neighbors, the French changed the name of it.*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. 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.
