SubscribeThe modern game of Craps is an adaptation of the game of Hazard. Hazard was invented in 1813 by Bernard de Mandeville in the city of New Orleans, the rules were similar to those of modern Craps, and judging by its quick rise to fame, so was its enjoyment factor.
Another theory on the origins of the game of Craps is that it is descended from the ancient game of tossing bones, in this ages-old pastime two players would throw the knuckle bones of a creature, and gamble on the outcome of their tosses, one can easily see where the similarities to modern Craps lie. This would make Craps the descendant of one of the oldest games on earth, and would explain its ongoing popularity.
