CHUCK-A-LUCK

dice game played with three dice, a layout numbered from one to six, and a wire cage or cone-shaped chute. The chute, called a "horn," is made of leather or metal. The phrase "tinhorn gambler" derived from gamblers who set up games of Chuck-a-Luck with little money and a metal chute, which was cheaper than a leather one. Other rules are similar to those of Grand Hazard (q.v.).
