(CHUCK-A-) LUCK BE A LADY TONIGHT!

If you're anything like me, you go weak at the knees and hear little cash registers ringing in your mind every time you see a chuck-a-luck table in the casino. This time-honored dice game, also known as Bird Cage, beguiles the gamer with the promise of easy winnings and big payoffs, but according to this web page, chuck-a-luck is a false mistress indeed. Basic laws of probability are used to illustrate the difficulty of "beating the cage." After digesting this sober report, I shall think twice before sinking my hard-earned jack in the chuck-a-luck rat hole in the future.
