Dice and dice games goes all the way back to the Middle Eastern Crusades, but modern craps is approximately one hundred years old. Modern craps evolved from the old Anglo game called Hazard. Nobody absolutely knows the birth of the game, although Hazard is believed to have been made up by the Englishman, Sir William of Tyre, in the twelfth century. It is presumed that Sir William's horsemen played Hazard amid a siege on the castle Hazarth in 1125 AD. The title Hazard was derived from the citadel's name.

Early French settlers brought the game Hazard to Acadia. In the 18th century, when exiled by the British, the French moved down south and located safety in the south of Louisiana where they eventually became known as Cajuns. When they fled Acadia, they brought their favorite game, Hazard, with them. The Cajuns modernized the game and made it mathematically fair. It's said that the Cajuns changed the title to craps, which was gotten from the term for the bad luck throw of snake-eyes in the game of Hazard, known as "crabs."

From Louisiana, the game moved to the Mississippi barges and across the country. A great many think the dice maker John H. Winn as the founder of modern craps. In the early 1900s, Winn developed the current craps layout. He added the Do not Pass line so gamblers can bet on the dice to lose. At another time, he created the boxes for Place wagers and added the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.
