Dice and dice games goes all the way back to the Middle Eastern Crusades, but current craps is approximately a century old. Modern craps evolved from the 12th Century English game called Hazard. Nobody knows for sure the beginnings of the game, although Hazard is said to have been invented by the Englishman, Sir William of Tyre, in the 12th century. It's presumed that Sir William's horsemen bet on Hazard through a siege on the fortification Hazarth in 1125 AD. The name Hazard was gotten from the fortification's name.

Early French colonizers brought the game Hazard to Acadia. In the 18th century, when banished by the English, the French relocated down south and settled in southern Louisiana where they a while later became known as Cajuns. When they left Acadia, they took their favorite game, Hazard, along. The Cajuns simplified the game and made it fair mathematically. It is said that the Cajuns altered the title to craps, which was gotten from the term for the losing toss of two in the game of Hazard, recognized as "crabs."

From Louisiana, the game migrated to the Mississippi scows and throughout the country. A few consider the dice maker John H. Winn as the father of modern craps. In the early 1900s, Winn assembled the modern craps setup. He put in place the Do not Pass line so gamblers can wager on the dice to lose. Afterwords, he created the spaces for Place bets and added the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.
