Craps Definition from Encyclopedia Dictionaries & Glossaries

Wikipedia English - The Free Encyclopedia
Craps
Craps (previously known as crabs[1]) is a casino dice game. Craps is a simplification of the Old English game hazard. Its origins are complex and may date to the Crusades, later being influenced by French gamblers. What was to become the modern American version of the game was brought to New Orleans by Bernard Xavier Philippe de Marigny de Mandevillescion of wealthy Louisiana landowners and a gambler and politician. The game, first known as crapaud reportedly owes its modern popularity from its being spread through the African-American community .
