Dice and dice games date back to the Middle Eastern Crusades, but modern craps is approximately a century old. Modern craps evolved from the 12th Century Anglo game called Hazard. Nobody knows for sure the ancestry of the game, although Hazard is said to have been created by the Anglo, Sir William of Tyre, in the twelfth century. It’s believed that Sir William’s soldiers gambled on Hazard amid a siege on the castle Hazarth in 1125 AD. The title Hazard was derived from the fortress’s name.
Early French colonizers imported the game Hazard to Canada. In the 18th century, when banished by the English, the French relocated down south and settled in the south of Louisiana where they after a while became Cajuns. When they departed Acadia, they brought their preferred game, Hazard, along. The Cajuns modernized the game and made it more mathematically fair. It is said that the Cajuns altered the title to craps, which was gotten from the term for the bad luck throw of two in the game of Hazard, referred to as "crabs."
From Louisiana, the game extended to the Mississippi scows and across the country. A great many acknowledge the dice builder John H. Winn as the founder of current craps. In 1907, Winn assembled the modern craps layout. He appended the Don’t Pass line so gamblers could wager on the dice to not win. At another time, he created the spots for Place wagers and added the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.
