La généalogie du craps
Les jeux de hasard avec des dés existe depuis l’aube de l’humanité. Les premiers dés étaient problablement fabriqués d’os d’animaux ou de bois, le chêne par exemple. On sait que les soldats Romains jettaient des ongles de porc dans un jeu appellé "Os" il y a plus de 2000 ans. Voilà une version d'apparition du craps qui évolue depuis les onglets de porc jusqu’à ce jeu de casino. Les Arabes ont adopté un passe-temps en "Jetant des os" lorsqu’ils envahirent les anciennes Provinces Romaines. Ils appellèrent leurs petits cubes numérotés "azzahr". Plus tard, lors d’échange avec les Européens au Moyen Age, ce jeu de dés a traversé à nouveau la Méditerannée et a été baptisé par les Français "hasar" ou "hasard". Durant les interminables guerres entre la France et l’Angleterre au 13ème et 14ème siècle, les chevaliers Anglais ont rapportés le jeu chez eux en tant que "hazard" - qui signifie prendre une chance ou prendre un risque. Lorsque les Anglais jouaient au jeu, ils appelaient les plus petits tirage "crabs" ce qui a donné le nom (avec des transformations quand même) au jeu actuel - craps. Aujourd’hui, le Craps est le jeu le plus populaire dans les Casinos. Les casinos respectés offrent à leurs joueurs des tables de craps qui sont d'habitude entourée de joueurs qui observent le jeu avec ensorcellement. Bien sûr le craps change tous le temps ce qui rend ses règles plus complexe. Néanmoins tout en symbolisant le casino le craps ne perd pas sa position privilégiée au casino. Il existe quand meme une autre légende. Cette histoire intrigue réellement. A Nouvelle Orléans au XIX siècle vivait Bernard de Mandeville qui a forgé le jeu de craps dont les joueurs anglais sont tombés amoureux. Le nom de « Craps » vient de « Crabs », un lancé de 1-1 au Hazard.
