Just the fact alone that discoveries of cubical looking dice
have been dated to around 600BC, and also the Ancient Indian epic
"Mahabharata" talks of Warriors throwing dice and losing fortunes.
Dice Gambling has been around a long time.
There are many debates over the actual origin of the Game we now
call Craps, but most agree it is based upon the game called "Hazard"
possibly dating back as far as 1125AD. However it evolved, Hazard
became very popular in the English Casinos throughout the years and
into the 17th century.
It is believed that at some point the name craps was actually
derived from the term "crabs", losing 2 throws in a row in Hazard,
either by the French, or by the Americans of the early south who first
played it in the US. At the point the John Winn added the Don't
Pass Bets to the layout it more quickly became even more popular both
on the Riverboats as well as the rest of the country.
Then in the 1930's with Nevada legalizing Gambling, and the
Explosive Growth of the Casino Industry in Las Vegas, Craps has
evolved into one of the Biggest Casino Table Games in any Gaming
Establishment both online or off. In fact, in terms of the amount of
money wagered on each game, Craps is usually number one!
One of the reasons that craps is so popular is the additional
excitement that can be created at busy craps tables. Also the payouts
for bets won can be rather large for aggressive play.
