Casino Craps is one of the world's most famous casino games – the game of choice for a countless array of slick Las Vegas movies and the ultimate lucky game for high rollers and massive lucky payouts!
In fact, like roulette, Craps is infamous for outrageously fortunate gaming sessions that have turned a $50 note into hundreds of thousands! There are awesome stories from Vegas where the crowds have grown bigger and bigger as the next high roller goes for broke on the Craps table and hits the ultimate string of lucky rolls.
While you may never get quite so fortunate, online Craps delivers an immensely rich gaming experience.
Craps is closely linked to the ancient and mystical game of Hazard, brought back from Arabia during the crusades. There's some debate whether the game emerged from a fabled attack on a walled city called Azard or the Arabic name for dice. The chances are the story of the attack sounded much more heroic when the crusaders returned to England!
What's for sure is the game spread like wild fire, even getting a mention in Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. However, the French often lay claim to inventing Craps, by corrupting the term used to throw a 2 – and so allegedly Crab become Craps!
Once Craps was taken to America during the gold rush, the game of Craps you can play in online casino today, quickly emerged. Legend has it that the as the French settlers ventured south (to become the Cajuns), Craps/Hazard was taken with them, leaving its mark along the way. In the deep south, the games of Hazard and African Dominos are said to have entered the melting pot and come out with the new rules of Craps.
From the south, the game spread through the whole of the USA via the Mississippi Riverboats, leading to refined rules that made the use of crooked dice virtually obsolete, such as permitting players to wager with the shooter or bet against them.
Casino players today still love the thrill and pure fate deciding rolls of the dice that can deliver incredible runs of good fortune. In fact, it's said that more cash is wagered at the Craps table than any other table game! The latest online Craps tables also offer extremely rich graphics and fast, slick gaming – they'd be going crazy on the Riverboats if they had the power of the web!
There's no doubt that Craps delivers a unique casino experience and more betting options than any other game – around 40 on traditional Craps tables! What's more, although some Craps wagers are heavily weighted in favour of the casino, other bets can be played with virtually no casino edge!
Many online casino gamers are frightened by the complex betting options offered by Craps, but taking a bit of time to master the table yields a great game of chance. Craps is like a glorified, complex lotto board with never ending options. What's more, one you're up and running, there's no better feeling than chilling-out for a session of the casino's hidden gem – online Craps!
