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.
