Online Craps

To begin with, craps is a rather intriguing and fascinating gambling game, which can boast of its interesting history. Nowadays, it is possible to play traditional craps and online craps as well. It is obvious that online craps derived from the traditional game.

Indeed, there are different theories concerning the game's origin. One of them states that there was a gambling game called "Hazard". It was widely spread in England during the Middle Ages. So, there is a presumption that this game evolved into craps.

According to another theory, craps was invented in Rome. It states that during the conquest of Europe, Roman soldiers used to entertain themselves playing with cubes made out of pig's knuckles. This game was played in a similar way to craps. The expression "to roll the bones" is supposed to have appeared at that time.

Moreover, Americans believe that the game was invented in Europe.

It should be mentioned that online craps and traditional craps do not differ much from each other. As in every gambling game, players should make a wager before starting to play. At this stage of the game, players can choose between "Pass Line" and "Don't Pass Line" bet.
