Craps is a fast-paced dice-based game with origins from the Middle Ages. It is essentially a variation on the older ancient game of "Hazard". The game itself is a combination of luck, skill, and strategy. In Craps, players wager against the house or sometimes between players.
The main goal of the game is for players to place either pass line or donāt pass line bets and then have the dice rolled for them. Players must decide whether or not they will take chances by holding their current bets or folding.
The gameās name comes from the French term for ācrabā and it has been evolving since the 1700s. It was first brought to America by the French settlers and eventually spread to the Wild West.
