The correct answer is ‘Hazard’.

​

Hazard was the most popular betting game in England, and involved predicting the outcome of rolling two or three dice. Its name, and our modern word hazard, comes from the Arabic word azar meaning dice. The game later evolved into the popular USA game of craps. Primero was another gambling game but played with cards, similar to modern poker. Dice and card games were the foundation for the development of probability theory in the 17th century.
