The games of dice date from Antiquity. At the time of the first Arab incursions in Europe, the soldiers played already with cubic and numbered bones. They called their small cubes azzahr, term from which the word chance draws its etymology. The game of die will continue its expansion, in particular during the One hundred Year old war during which the English soldiers will adopt it.
Certain combinations were baptized crabs by English and were renamed crabs by French. The play will be exported towards the new Canadian provinces at the XVIIIème century. It will migrate towards Louisiana, where the game of creps will be renamed crabs by the cajuns. It will take its final name of craps on the paddle steamers of the Mississippi then in the saloons of the far west.

The craps is a very widespread set of dice in the casinos. The player bets on a combination and places his setting on the table of play. 2 traditional dice with 6 faces are then launched on the table. It is said that pulling is gaining if the sum of the dice is 7 or 11: one calls this combination a naturalness. It is said that it is losing if the sum of the dice is worth 2,3 or 12: such a combination is called craps. If launched corresponds to another combination, it is called the point and this sum is memorized: in this case a second phase of the play starts.
If the point were drawn up, other bets are possible. The launcher games until obtaining one 7 or remaking the point. It is said that it gains if it again obtains the point before one 7.
