Description

Chuck-a-Luck is a casino game in which the player can bet an amount of money on any number between one and six. The HP programmable calculator will roll three dice. The player earns his or her money back if one of the dice contains the number bet on, and doubles or triples the bet if two or three contain the number. The goal is to increase the starting money amount.
