Dice and dice games goes all the way back to the Crusades, but current craps is approximately a century old. Modern craps come about from the old Anglo game called Hazard. Nobody absolutely knows the beginnings of the game, however Hazard is said to have been invented by the Anglo, Sir William of Tyre, in the twelfth century. It is believed that Sir William’s paladins bet on Hazard through a siege on the citadel Hazarth in 1125 AD. The name Hazard was gotten from the fortification’s name.

Early French settlers brought the game Hazard to Canada. In the 1700s, when exiled by the British, the French moved down south and found refuge in the south of Louisiana where they after a while became Cajuns. When they departed Acadia, they took their favored game, Hazard, with them. The Cajuns streamlined the game and made it mathematically fair. It’s said that the Cajuns changed the title to craps, which is gotten from the name of the non-winning toss of 2 in the game of Hazard, recognized as "crabs."

From Louisiana, the game moved to the Mississippi scows and throughout the country. Many acknowledge the dice builder John H. Winn as the father of modern craps. In 1907, Winn designed the current craps layout. He added the Don’t Pass line so gamblers can bet on the dice to not win. At another time, he designed the spaces for Place wagers and put in place the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.
