「双骰子游戏是从一种名为Hazard的骰子游戏演变而来的。关于Hazard骰子游戏是怎样演变成今天这种双骰子游戏的说法有几种。一种认为Hazard最初是一种阿拉伯游戏,由意为“骰子”的阿拉伯单词azzahr所表示。该游戏传到法国后,被命名为hasard,辗转到英国就成了hazard。」《博聞網-双骰子游戏》http://entertainment.bowenwang.com.cn/craps1.htm

「雙骰子規則 — 歷史
自有人類文明以來即有「骰子」相關的賭博遊戲。最早骰子大概是以動物的骨頭或者木頭來製做的。羅馬士兵在兩千多年前將豬掌指關節丟入盾牌來玩一種叫做「骨頭」的遊戲。但是雙骰子遊戲是怎麼來的呢? 其由來眾說紛紜,這裏是一個以豬掌指關節演進到今天的賭城雙骰子的說法: 當阿拉伯人佔領古羅馬疆土時,他們便學用了古羅馬軍團士兵的「丟骨頭」(甩骰子)。他們稱自己較小,編有號碼的方塊叫 "azzahr"。中世紀與歐洲人交易期間,這個骰子遊戲流傳地中海,並進而被法國人引用稱為"hasar"或者"hasard"。13及14世紀的英法戰爭,英國騎兵將此遊戲傳入英國稱為"hazard" - 意為趁機或者冒險("hazard a guess")。」 Source: Casino Fantasy

neutral Adsion Liu : catch the sense, especially with nice references, but I don't think the term in this context (legal, contractual) is suitable to be explained with one or some specific Game Names in Chinese...Sorry for my comments:-)
