Craps History
There are several theories on the history of Craps. One
take is that in ancient times rolling of bones was done
to divine the will of the gods, and that from this evolved
both dice and various dice games (including Craps). Another
take has the game evolving from an early Arab game passed
through England, France and North America.
On one point all historians seem to agree, Craps was brought
over to North America from Europe in the early 1700's. The
game was first played on riverboats in the United States
and then moved west with the frontier as the country grew.
There are two general types of Craps played today - "Street
Craps" and "Bank Craps". Street
Craps is the variety you would find being played in informal
settings. The betting is simplified, and someone must cover
the bet in order for the game to progress. Bank Craps on
the other hand is the form played in casinos. The betting
is more complicated and the house covers the bets (banks
the game) so the players are in effect playing against the
house.
