GRAND HAZARD

dice game from which chuck-a-luck evolved. In the United States the game is often called chuck-a-luck. Grand hazard should not be confused with the old English and French game of hazard, from which the dice game craps evolved. Equipment includes three dice and a chute, containing a series of inclined planes that tumble the dice as they fall. The only material difference between grand hazard and chuck-a-luck is in the layout: the grand hazard layout is more complex and provides spaces for wagering on odd or even, high or low, triples (called raffles), and any number the dice may total, from 4 to 17. The percentage in favour of the house when a player bets on any particular number varies considerably.
