Hazard or frz. Hazard is an old English play with two cubes already, in 14. Century is mentioned by Geoffrey Chaucer in the Canterbury of valley. The name "“Hazard"” is derived from the Arab az-zahr, the majority from Hazard is not to confound with "“Grand Hazard"”, which is played with three cubes; Grand Hazard is another name for Sic Bo.

Hazard was - despite the complicated rules - in 17. and 18. So popular to century that it became gambling absolutely is called, gambling therefore also generally hazard plays. In Crockford's club in London was particularly gladly played Hazard. In 19. Century resulted from a simplification of the rules (see below) from Hazard Craps; Craps is played privately and in Casinos.

The rules

A player, the Shooter, transacts an employment (the Banco), the other players (the Faders) sets against it. If the employments are transacted, then the play begins Main with the statement of the POINT. In addition the Shooter with two cubes to it an eye sum of 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9 obtained; in such a way determined number is the Main POINT or Faders' POINT.

Now the Shooter a further mark In this throw already the decision falls over profit or loss or it chance a POINT, also Shooter's POINT in accordance with the following table is determined:

Main POINT 5: Shooter wins with throw of 5; Shooter loses with throw of 2,3,11,12; a throw of 4,6,7,8,9,10 supplies the chance POINT.

Main POINT 6: Shooter wins with throw of 6, 12; Shooter loses with throw of 2,3,11; a throw of 4,5,7,8,9,10 supplies the chance POINT.

Main POINT 7: Shooter wins with throw of 7, 11; Shooter loses with throw of 2,3,12; a throw of 4,5,6,8,9,10 supplies the chance POINT.

Main POINT 8: Shooter wins with throw of 8, 12; Shooter loses with throw of 2,3,11; a throw of 4,5,6,7,9,10 supplies the chance POINT.

Main POINT 9: Shooter wins with throw of 9; Shooter loses with throw of 2,3,11,12; a throw of 4,5,6,7,8,10 supplies the chance POINT.

If no immediate decision falls, i.e. chance a POINT is determined in this throw, then the Shooter until it meets either the Main POINT and loses or again the chance POINT and wins.

If the Shooter wins, then it may keep and further-play the cubes; it may not take then however out of the bank profits. If the Shooter loses Main immediately after statement of the POINT (i.e. because it threw Main in the first throw after statement of the POINT 2, 3, or depending on one 11, or 12), then it - if it would like - may likewise the cubes keep and a new Banco put. The Shooter can pass however the cubes on also at its right neighbours.

If the Shooter loses chance POINTs after statement by the throw Main of the POINT, then it must pass the cubes on at its right neighbours.

The Shooter is over the Faders in the disadvantage, the advantage of the Faders amounts to approx. 1.8%.

If one omits the statement Main of the POINT and sets these into a while ago on filters, then from it the Craps develops; this simplification is to have introduced certain Berne pool of broadcasting corporations de Mandeville in the year 1813 to new Orleans.
