The Secrets of Chuck-A-Luck
Pssst...! Wanna know a secret?
How about the secrets of the dice game Chuck-A-Luck?
Chuck-A-Luck (also called Bird Cage) is becoming popular once again, and several casinos have a chuck-a-luck game, but it is usually found in the slot machine area rather than with the table games. Long ago, along with Hazard, it was the forerunner of craps.
You may see a large dice “Bird Cage” with a handle on the side filled with three large dice. The “dealer” will announce to onlookers “The Best game there is - Three winners and three losers - Bet Just $1 - Easiest money you’ll ever make!” Sounds like a good 50/50 proposition, but it’s a little more complicated than that.
Wanna know the secrets that dice pros use to play Chuck-A-Luck?
Let’s find out!
Underneath the large wire Chuck-A-Luck cage is a layout vaguely reminiscent of a craps game. It is usually green, with the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 printed on top. You place $1 on any of the numbers and if your number appears on any one die, you get even money. If your number appears on two dice, you get 2:1 ($2). If it appears on all three dice, you get 3:1 ($3). The game begins when all six numbers have a bet placed on them.
Although on the surface this looks pretty good, let’s look at what is really happening here.
If two 2's and one 3 are thrown the bank pays $2 to whoever bet on the 2 and $1 to whoever bet on the 3. Those who bet the 1, 4, 5 and 6 all lose. In this case there are two winners and four losers. So the “house” takes in $6 and pays out $3.
Now let’s say the dealer rolls three fours. Whoever bet on the four wins $3, but all five other bettors lose $1.
The dealer’s original claim of three winners and three losers is true, but only applies if all three dice are different. If he rolls for example, 2, 3, 4 then three people will win $1 each and three people will lose $1 each.
If you figure out the casino edge for this game it is about 7%, which is not so good compared to other casino games. Plus, there is no strategy involved, it is purely a game of luck.
If you see Bird Cage or Chuck-A-Luck at a County Fair, beware of cheating. Watch out for a setup where the bottom of the cage is less than one inch from the supporting box. This could signify a foot operated magnet that the “dealer” uses to alter the outcome so he wins more and you win less. You don’t have to worry about this in casinos because the 7% house edge is more than enough for them.
So, even though this dice game might be a lot of fun to play, a regular craps game might provide a little more profit.
Pssst...! Now you know the secrets of playing Chuck-A-Luck!

Meet Jean Scott - The Frugal Gambler
By Steve Bourie
I first heard of Jean Scott back in the early 1990s. I was reading an issue of the Las Vegas Advisor newsletter in which the publisher, Anthony Curtis, referred to her as “The Queen of Ku Pon.” He wrote about her ability to exploit comps from casinos and he said she was so good at it that she spent 49 out of 50 nights for free in Las Vegas casino hotels. On top of that, two of those nights included New Year’s Eve and the Super Bowl!
Of course, back then Jean was completely unknown, but that has changed through the years. In 1995 I saw her on the CBS program 48 Hours. A camera crew followed Jean and her husband Brad as they left Indanapolis for a vacation in Las Vegas and during the course of the next few days the crew followed them as they played video poker at the Stardust.
Unfortunately, the gambling Gods were not smiling on Jean and Brad, as they were down $2,000 and it looked like they would be portrayed on national TV as big-time losers. However, their video poker play earned them lots of extra entries into a prize drawing and they were lucky enough to win a new car valued at $16,000, plus $3,000 in cash.
It was the perfect ending to a near disastrous event and it started Jean on the road to gambling stardom.

And now, the next two secrets from the forthcoming book, "101 Craps Secrets," to be published soon by Leaf Press. You can get a FREE Leaf Press catalog and a special FREE offer just by sending your name and address to leafpress@aol.com
# 33 - You get MUCH higher payoffs on hardway hops than regular hardways!
The payoff for a "hop" bet (a one roll call bet) is usually 15:1, however many casinos offer 30:1 odds on a hard way hop bet - but you have to ask first. If you think, for example, that a hard six will roll next, you can bet $5 on "33 hopping" and win $150 (at 30:1) instead of $45 (at 9:1). If a hard four is your choice you can bet $5 on "22 hopping" and win $150 (at 30:1) instead of $35 (at 7:1).
# 34 - You can bet a 3-way Seven Hop for a higher payoff than an any seven bet!
The Any Seven bet pays only 4:1 so if you bet $6 you only get $24 back. However, you can get more back if you use a 3-way seven hop bet instead. A $6 bet will give you $2 on each way of rolling seven - 3&4, 6&1 and 2&5. Since this bet pays 15:1 instead of 4:1, you'll initially win $30 instead of $24. Both the hop bet and the Any-Seven bet is a one roll bet.

LETTER OF THE WEAK
Dear CC,
I am just a kid but my dad plays craps a lot. He always says the six is afraid of the seven. What is he talking about?
Junior Samples
Dear Junior,
Maybe the six is afraid of the seven because....the seven eight nine!
Good luck,
Larry
