People have gambled for thousands of years. All kinds of games have been invented using six-face dice. The game of craps and its rules have been developed over a long period of time. Even though the craps played in casinos or in a casino online may seem a little complicated, once we learn the rules of the casino game it is quite simple to play.

All we need to play craps are a pair of dice, a good strategy and some money. During the Second World War American soldiers had fun playing craps in their free time. From the battle field to the school yard, craps have proved to be a good entertainment way that can be implemented in several environments.

The origins of craps are not clear. Some people believe that chance games practiced with dice have their origin in the ancient world. In general, it is accepted that the current form of craps played in casinos comes from a game called “hazard”, a popular betting game the English played during centuries.

As Europeans conquered other parts of the world, they took with them their games and hobbies. It is arguable whether the English have to take the credit for introducing the game of craps in the United States. Some people believe the French took the game to the northern country.

The modern craps table was imagined by a man called John H. Winn. With this new table, players had more betting options. A new no-pass area was added, which gave the chance to bet for or against the casino player throwing the dice. When Las Vegas was founded in 1930 craps become part of the casino games and became really popular.
