Games that use dice and the dice themselves goes back to the Crusades, but modern craps is approximately a century old. Modern craps evolved from the 12th Century English game referred to as Hazard. Nobody absolutely knows the ancestry of the game, however Hazard is said to have been created by the Anglo, Sir William of Tyre, around the twelfth century. It's supposed that Sir William's paladins gambled on Hazard during a blockade on the citadel Hazarth in 1125 AD. The title Hazard was derived from the castle's name.

Early French colonists imported the game Hazard to Canada. In the 1700s, when displaced by the English, the French headed down south and settled in southern Louisiana where they a while later became Cajuns. When they left Acadia, they took their favored game, Hazard, along. The Cajuns modernized the game and made it more mathematically fair. It's believed that the Cajuns changed the name to craps, which was gotten from the name of the losing toss of two in the game of Hazard, recognized as "crabs."

From Louisiana, the game extended to the Mississippi barges and all over the nation. Many think the dice maker John H. Winn as the founder of modern craps. In 1907, Winn built the modern craps layout. He added the Don't Pass line so players can wager on the dice to lose. Later, he developed the spots for Place wagers and put in place the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.
