Online Craps, A History
Has online craps always been played online? Of course not
remember the internet has not really been around all that long
so the game had to begin elsewhere
right? Well
it just so happens that the game of craps is extremely old. This game of dice has been around for many
many years
even centuries. People
which included soldiers and kings
have played craps throughout the years and in various places of the universe.
Where craps began really depends on whom you are asking. Some people believe that craps is a direct form of a game known as Hazard
which is an ancient English game. When we say ancient
we mean in the times of Sir William of Tyre and the third crusade. Of course
in those days
dice were not used; instead they used knucklebones of pigs.
In essence
it was the French that introduced the game of craps
because of its name change. It seems that the French thought that the English were saying craps
instead of crabs
which is what the Englishmen chose as a nickname for hazard. Therefore
when the name changed to craps
it was the result of a mispronunciation.
However
if you ask others
they will tell you that the name of the game is from the French word meaning frogs
crapeaud. At any rate
regardless of how the name came around or where it actually came from
it was the French that introduced the beloved game of craps to the U.S.
Throughout the years
the play of the game has changed dramatically. What originally started as betting on your own dice or roll has evolved into the ability to bet against or for that of another player as well. Century after century
the game of craps
or a variation of it
has been extremely popular. It is no wonder that online craps has followed in the same shoes.
The internet has opened up a whole new world of game play. Now
instead of heading to the casino
spending money on expensive drinks
tips
and dealing with the crowd. People who love craps can turn to the online world. The internet now allows you to play online craps without ever having to set foot out of your house. Now

however
