British Casino changing Craps to Dice ...

One British Casino is changing the name Craps to Dice ...

The Hippodrome Casino is now hoping that the change will help encourage more British gamblers to give the game a go, as it is considered one of the most enjoyable casino games to play, while also offering some of the best odds in the house. Consequently, the “Craps” sign outside the Hippodrome casino in Leicester Square has already been replaced with a new board reading “Dice”.

Interestingly, the rude-sounding name for the popular game originated in the streets of France, where the players crouching down to roll the dice against the curb were said to resemble a “crapaud” – the French word for toad.
