The Craps is connected to the emergence of dice. The
first artifacts that recall the modern cube, can be
traced back to the Stone Age. Game Cube, as we know it
today, cruising about in the time of ancient Egypt.
With its origin can be dated the history of craps
himself. A big rise experienced craps in the time of
the Roman Empire. The famous quote "Alee exacta est."
or "The die is cast," spoken by Caesar when he crossed
the Rubicon river, was inscribed indelibly in the
history.
Although it's about a metaphor, it shows how popular
was the game of dice. Emperor Claudius wrote a book
about the game strategy of craps and Emperor Commodes
had even set up a playroom in his palace. It was easy
to play Craps, therefore, it was played by all.
Emperors, kings, citizens and even poverty. But soon
Craps became popular. Gambling has been a serious
problem and were prohibited by law.
The Craps in the medieval time is not the brightest.
During this time, Craps was associated with gambling,
which was considered extremely dangerous. The word
comes from the Arabic word Hazard al-BOAS, in
translation - Craps. Gambling appeared during the
Crusades in the territory of Palestine and very quickly
they were popular in Europe, especially in England and
France. In this era there were significant changes in
the history of the dice game - the rules of craps were
modernized. Some rules, such.

B. tossing a predetermined number, the rules changed
during the game) were later annulled because of its
complexity. With the discovery of the American
continent, the history of the game Craps moves on. In
America, the European version of the game was
considered too complex and mysterious.
Therefore Craps got a new face in the nineteenth
century. In the New World, the new revolutionary Craps
appeared. This happened thanks to French sailors who
have inhabited french Molos in New Orleans. They
invented the modern (last) concept of the game.
The greatest pioneer of the dice game was the man named
John H. Winn. He noted that many people avoid games
because they are not able to bet against the person who
rolls the dice. Players familiar to the one-way system
is not easy. Therefore, John H. Winn hit in 1907
against today's game table, the use of the players bet
against the thrower. With ordinary chalk he marked each
bet areas. Basically, he has determined its present
form. Another contribution from Winn had to bet the
introduction of the possibility for a certain number,
or throw the same value on both dice (called Haedway).
