Rolling dice for entertainment and betting dates back to the dawn of civilization. Excavations show that early peoples in Egypt and Rome played dice carved from bone and wood. These informal games were played by soldiers, royalty, and common citizens alike. Over the centuries, these simple games of chance evolved into structured casino table games. The pinnacle of casino dice entertainment is craps, a staple of modern gaming floors.
+ +Hazard: The English Ancestor of Modern Craps +
The game we play today has its roots in Hazard, a medieval English dice game. The game was named after the fortress of Hazarth, played by Crusaders during long sieges. It was a highly complicated game with multiple rules governing the winning totals. Even with these hard rules, Hazard remained the favorite table game of English nobility. In the 1700s, French players adapted the game, renaming it creps, which later became craps.

During the 1800s, street craps was often rigged by hustlers using weighted dice. This changed in 1907 when John H. Winn, a dice maker, redesigned the table layout. He added the Don't Pass line, giving gamblers the option to wager for or against the dice thrower. This stopped fixed-dice scams, since players could profit from a shooter's bad roll. Winn's version, known as "Bank Craps," quickly became the standard format in Las Vegas casinos.
