Dice and dice games goes all the way back to the Crusades, but modern craps is approximately 100 years old. Current craps evolved from the old Anglo game called Hazard. Nobody knows for sure the beginnings of the game, but Hazard is said to have been invented by the Anglo, Sir William of Tyre, around the 12th century. It's theorized that Sir William's horsemen played Hazard amid a siege on the fortification Hazarth in 1125 AD. The name Hazard was gotten from the citadel's name.

Early French colonists brought the game Hazard to Acadia. In the 18th century, when displaced by the British, the French headed down south and settled in the south of Louisiana where they after a while became Cajuns. When they were driven out of Acadia, they took their preferred game, Hazard, along. The Cajuns broke down the game and made it fair mathematically. It is believed that the Cajuns altered the name to craps, which is derived from the name of the bad luck toss of snake-eyes in the game of Hazard, known as "crabs."

From Louisiana, the game migrated to the Mississippi riverboats and all over the country. A good many think the dice maker John H. Winn as the father of current craps. In 1907, Winn created the modern craps layout. He put in place the Do not Pass line so gamblers can bet on the dice to lose. At another time, he established the spaces for Place wagers and put in place the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.
