==History== thumb|Craps being played by children in a street in St Louis, Missouri, circa 1912 Craps developed in the United States from a simplification of the western European game of Hazard, also spelled Hazzard or Hasard. The origins of Hazard are obscure and may date to the Crusades; a detailed description of Hazard was provided by Edmond Hoyle in ''Hoyle's Games, Improved'' (1790). At approximately the same time (1788), "Krabs" was documented as a French variation on Hazard.
