chuck-a-luck
Three-dice game
Chuck-a-luck is a gambling game played with three dice.
Players bet on numbers one through six; the dice are tumbled in an hourglass-shaped cage, and payouts depend on how many dice show the chosen number.
The game is simple and offers poor odds, typically found at carnivals and charity events rather than serious casinos.
