About Chuck-A-Luck is a lively game where three
dice tumble in a spinning cage and you place wagers on how many dice will come
up with your chosen number when the cage stops spinning. It probably originated
in British Pubs many years ago and started without cages. Instead, gamblers used
a horn-shaped chute made of leather or metal to "chuck" the 3 dice across
a table and then take their "luck" on how they landed. An interesting
footnote to this is that metal chutes were easier to fashion than leather ones
– with tin being cheaper than brass – and enterprising patrons who set
up games with little money and a metal chute were called "tin-horned gamblers".
Today, Chuck-A-Luck is a popular game at carnivals, fund raisers and many
first-class casinos around the world. It's fun and easy to learn, so beginners
take to it quickly, yet the simple premise offers the excitement and high payout
that keeps seasoned players coming back for more. »
The game The dice are standard six-sided cubes, with sides numbered
1 through 6 (represented as a corresponding number of dots). There are three dice
and they are tumbled together in an hour-glass shaped cage that spins around it's
horizontal axis. Players place bets by moving chips into various boxes on the
table. The cage cannot start spinning until at least one bet has been placed
on the board. Players can click the Spin button to start it as soon as they've
finished placing bets. At that point all bets must stand. Several seconds
later the cage stops spinning and the dice come to rest at the bottom of the cage.
The resulting numbers are taken off the top face of each dice to determine the
winning bets. Our Chuck-A-Luck table offers six different ways to make
bets: - Numbers Bet
- Field Bet
- High Bet (Over 10)
- Low
Bet (Under 11)
- Odd Bet
- Even Bet
- Numbers Bet
If
you place a wager on any of the six numbered boxes in the "Numbers Bet"
area (1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6) you will win according to how many of the 3 dice come
up with that number on their top surface when they come to rest. Matching
Dice | Payoff
| 1 (a Single) | 1:1
| 2 (a
Double) | 2:1 | 3
(a Triple) | 3:1 |
Thus,
if all three dice come up with the number 4, any wager on the Number 4 bet would
pay 10 to 1. You can bet on as many individual Numbers as you like. All
of the remaining five bet types are based on the sum of the Numbers showing on
the 3 dice. Thus, a result with a 5, a 2 and a 4 would yield a point total of
11. Point totals can range from 3 (triple 1's) to 18 (triple 6's). Field
bet If you place your wager in the "Field Bet" area then you
are betting that all three dice will add up to one of the numbers featured on
the Field. It doesn't matter where on the Field you place your chips. If the point
total of the 3 dice adds up to any one of the numbers shown on the Field, you
will be paid 1:1 on your wager. High Bet (Over 10) If you
place chips in the High box, then you are wagering that the sum total of the 3
dice will be greater than 10. The payoff is 1:1 unless there is a high Triple
(12, 15 or 18), in which case the High bet loses. There are 108 possible combinations
of the 3 dice that add up to Over 10, and only 3 of them are Triples. Low
Bet (Under 11) If you place chips in the Low box, then you are wagering
that the sum total of the 3 dice will be less than 11. The payoff is 1:1 unless
there is a low Triple (3, 6 or 9), in which case the Low bet loses. There are
108 possible combinations of the 3 dice that add up to Under 11, and only 3 of
them are Triples. Odd Bet If you place chips in the Odd box,
then you are wagering that the sum total of the 3 dice will be an Odd number.
The payoff is 1:1 unless there is an Odd Triple (3, 9 or 15), in which case the
Odd bet loses. There are 108 possible combinations of the 3 dice that add up to
Odd numbers, and only 3 of them are Triples. Even Bet If
you place chips in the Even box, then you are wagering that the sum total of the
3 dice will be an Even number. The payoff is 1:1 unless there is an even Triple
(6, 12 or 18), in which case the Even bet loses. There are 108 possible combinations
of the 3 dice that add up to Even numbers, and only 3 of them are Triples.
