Casino Yatzy

A variant of the classic dice game, yatzy. This is a fast-paced variant best enjoyed on bar counters around friends and a drink.

Casino yatzy: Bet limits

• Players: 1
• Minimum bet: 1 chip
• Maximum bet: 100 chips

Casino yatzy: How to play

• Place your bet.
• Roll five six-sided dice (5d6) once. Unless you rolled a special combo (see below), select a number between 1 and 6.
• Set aside any singles, pairs, triplets, or quads of that number from your first roll; these set-aside dice are "banked". You may roll the unbanked dice again, up to twice more to try and get more of the number you selected.
• After rolling three times, count the number of dice (both banked and not banked) featuring the number you selected earlier.
  • 0, 1 (single), or 2 (pair): Losing hand. Your bet is lost.
  • 3 (triplet): Your bet is returned to you (you win 1x your bet).
  • 4 (quad): You win 2x your bet.
  • 5 (yatzy): You win 4x your bet.

Casino yatzy: Special combos

• Golden yatzy: If you roll a yatzy on your first throw, you automatically win 20x your bet.
• Big straight: If you roll 23456 on your first throw, you automatically win 11x your bet.
• Little straight: If you roll 12345 on your first throw, you automatically win 9x your bet.
• Full house: If you roll a pair of one number plus a triplet of different numbers on the first throw, you automatically win 7x your bet.
• Double pair gambit: If you roll two pairs on the first throw, you may bank it then roll the remaining die once. If the result would turn one of the pairs into a triplet (thus forming a full house), you win 3x your bet.

Cee-lo

A classic dice game. Played with three dice and a (clean) bowl, it is as popular in casino lounges as it is on the streets, where this game was born.

This game is known under many different names, such as See-low or Four-five-six. In Youkai-go, it is variously known as チロ (chiro), チンチロリン (chinchirorin) or 四五六 (yongoroku, transliterates to "four-five-six"). "Chiro" is an approximation of the name "Cee-lo", and "Chinchirorin" is said to be the sound dice make when they're thrown into the bowl.

Cee-lo: Bet limits

• Players: 3 plus banker
• Minimum bet: 20 chips
• Maximum bet: 2000 chips

Cee-lo: How to play

• Determining the banker and player roll order: Traditionally, the banker is determined at the start of each round, by having each player roll three six-sided dice (3d6); whoever rolls the highest amount of points becomes the banker. The second-highest score is the first player to roll, the third-highest is the second to roll, and the lowest is the last to roll.
  • In casino lounges, the bartender is always the banker. Players still roll to determine the player roll order.
• Each player places a bet.
• Every participant rolls three six-sided dice (3d6) up to 3 times to attempt forming a valid set or one of the special combos.
  • A valid set is a pair of the same numbers plus a single of a different number. The single die determines the participant's score, ranging from 1 to 6. (e.g. if you roll a 446, your score is 6.)
  • If no valid set or special combo has been rolled in three attempts, the score is considered to be 0, which almost always guarantees a loss.
• The banker rolls first, and the other players roll one after the other in the decided order. The objective of the players is to beat the banker's score.
• If a player loses, the banker takes their bet away. If a player wins with a regular valid set, they make 2x their bet back. Special combos have different payouts.

Cee-lo: Special combos

• All-Odds: 1-3-5. If the banker or the first player in order rolls all-odds, their score is 3. Otherwise, their score is equal to that of the previous participant.
• All-Evens: 2-4-6. If the banker or the last player in order rolls all-evens, their score is 4. Otherwise, their score is equal to that of the previous participant. (If the first player rolls all-evens, their score is equal to that of the banker.)
• Musashi: 6-3-4. Equals a score of 6.
• Cee-lo: 4-5-6. Automatic win.
  • If a banker rolls a cee-lo, all players lose immediately.
  • If a player rolls a cee-lo, they immediately win 2x their bet.
• Triple: 2-2-2, 3-3-3, 4-4-4, 5-5-5, 6-6-6. Automatic win.
  • If the banker rolls a triple, all players lose immediately.
  • If a player rolls a triple, they immediately win 3x their bet.
• Triple 1: 1-1-1. Automatic win.
  • If the banker rolls a triple 1, all players must pay twice their best, effectively equal to losing twice.
  • If a player rolls a triple 1, they immediately win 5x their bet.
• Asshole: 1-2-3. Automatic loss.
  • If the banker rolls an asshole, every player wins 2x their bet (known as breaking the bank).
  • If a player rolls an asshole, they must pay twice their bet, effectively equal to losing twice.

Chou-han

A classic dice game. Very fast-paced and best-enjoyed with lots of players (at least four, but the more the merrier). The name is a youkai-go term (丁半) which means "evens and odds".

The traditional setting for a game of chou-han is sitting on tatami rolls, but it has become quite popular in casinos and bars as well.

Chou-han: Bet limits

• Players: 4-8 plus banker
• Minimum bet: 1 chip
• Maximum bet: 1000 chips

Chou-han: How to play

• The banker uses a pair of six-sided dice (2d6) and an opaque cup, and is the only one allowed to roll the dice.
• Every player places a bet by selecting either chou (丁, evens), han (半, odds), or a number of their choosing between 2 and 12. Players are allowed to change their bet until the "No more bets!" call.
• The banker places the dice in an opaque cup and rolls it audibly until they call "No more bets!", at which point each player must confirm their bet.
• When all bets have been confirmed, the banker reveals the roll result.
  • If the result is 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, or 12, then chou wins.
  • If the result is 3, 5, 7, 9, or 11, then han wins.
• All losers' bets are added to a pot.
• Winners by chou or han win 2x their bet back.
• Winners who called the correct number win 2x their bet back plus the losers' pot.
  • If multiple winners called the correct number, the pot is divided evenly (or as close to evenly) as possible between each winner.
  • If there are no winners calling the correct number, then the bank absorbs the losers' bets.
