Tag Archive: three dice game

Wow, this is a step back in time. The old game of Chuck-a-luck was an old favorite back in the gold rush day of the late 19th century. In particular the states of Nevada and California where it was played in the mining camps. Though there are a number of game variations, essentially, the game we know today came from an old English game called "Hazard". Though the main difference is that hazard uses two dice, whereas Chuck-a-luck uses three, in a ways similar to Sic-Bo.
