Dice and dice games goes all the way back to the Crusades, but current craps is approximately a century old. Modern craps developed from the ancient Anglo game called Hazard. No one absolutely knows the origin of the game, but Hazard is believed to have been discovered by the Anglo, Sir William of Tyre, sometime in the twelfth century. It’s supposed that Sir William’s knights gambled on Hazard during a siege on the castle Hazarth in 1125 AD. The title Hazard was acquired from the fortification’s name.
Early French settlers brought the game Hazard to Nova Scotia. In the 18th century, when exiled by the British, the French relocated down south and found safety in the south of Louisiana where they after a while became known as Cajuns. When they left Acadia, they took their favored game, Hazard, along. The Cajuns simplified the game and made it more mathematically fair. It is believed that the Cajuns changed the name to craps, which was acquired from the term for the non-winning throw of snake-eyes in the game of Hazard, known as "crabs."
From Louisiana, the game moved to the Mississippi scows and throughout the country. A good many consider the dice maker John H. Winn as the founder of current craps. In 1907, Winn developed the current craps layout. He appended the Do not Pass line so players can wager on the dice to lose. Later, he created the spots for Place bets and put in place the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.
