: More of a carnival game then anything else (no gaming commision in the world will allow it), Chuck-a-luck, is a simple game. There is a cage containing three dice. Players have the option of betting on the numbers (1-6). Should one of your numbers come up once, you get paid even money. Should one of your numbers come up twice you get paid 2-1. Should your number come up three times, you get paid 3-1.
: The game keeps on going like this. Even an elementry examination will find that the game's expected value (barring rigged dice, which are common), is far worse then any other table game. I have only seen this game as a fundraiser for charity; This remains the only good reason to play this game.
