Dice and dice games goes back to the Middle Eastern Crusades, but modern craps is approximately one hundred years old. Current craps evolved from the old English game called Hazard. Nobody absolutely knows the origin of the game, however Hazard is said to have been made up by the Englishman, Sir William of Tyre, sometime in the 12th century. It is supposed that Sir William’s horsemen gambled on Hazard during a siege on the fortress Hazarth in 1125 AD. The title Hazard was gotten from the fortress’s name.
Early French settlers imported the game Hazard to Acadia. In the 18th century, when displaced by the British, the French relocated down south and discovered sanctuary in the south of Louisiana where they after a while became Cajuns. When they were driven out of Acadia, they took their best-loved game, Hazard, with them. The Cajuns simplified the game and made it fair mathematically. It’s believed that the Cajuns adjusted the title to craps, which is gotten from the term for the bad luck toss of two in the game of Hazard, known as "crabs."
From Louisiana, the game extended to the Mississippi scows and throughout the country. A great many acknowledge the dice maker John H. Winn as the father of current craps. In 1907, Winn assembled the modern craps layout. He appended the Do not Pass line so players can bet on the dice to lose. At another time, he designed the boxes for Place bets and added the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.
