9" Chuck-A-Luck

9" wire Chuck-A-Luck cage & chuck dice. Also available in 18" on this site.

Chuck A Luck is a gambling game played with three dice and a wire cage that pivots about its centre. The dealer rotates the cage end over end, with the dice landing on the bottom.

The dice used are standard six-sided cubes numbered from 1 to 6 at each side. This dice game is derived from grand hazard, and both can be considered a variant of sic bo, a popular casino game, although chuck-a-luck is more of a carnival game than a true casino game. The game is sometimes used as a fundraiser for charity.

Bets are placed based on possible combinations that can appear on the three dice. The possible wagers are usually fewer than the wagers that are possible in sic bo and, in that sense, chuck-a-luck can be considered to be a simpler game.

These Chuck a Luck Cages are also used for other games such as High/Low (Under and Over) but with a different number of dice.
