Chuck A Luck is a gambling game that employs three dice and a wire cage or cone-shaped chute. The dice used are standard six-sided cubes numbered from 1 to 6 at each side. The chute, which can be made of either leather or metal, is usually called a horn.
The use of metal chutes in the game of Chuck A Luck is associated with the so-called tinhorn gamblers, who were actually gamblers with little money, thus the choice of metal over the higher-priced leather. An early version of the game was played by the dice being thrown or chucked – hence the name. A heavy welded metal birdcage device eventually became the standard use where only the dealers are allowed to turn the cage.
The Chuck A Luck cage has been loosely interchanged by many with any birdcage tumbler. This is only true on the basis of the games definition as long as there are three dice in the cage. Cages are also used for other games such as High/Low (Under and Over) but with a different number of dice.
