So, earlier today, I was looking up information on dice games played in the Old West (you know how that goes), and I came upon chuck-a-luck. Along with Grand Hazard, it's apparently an English variant of sic bo. I was intrigued by a few sentences at this site:
The Hazard game in the Dungeon and Dragon (sic) manuals is actually a casino game called Grand Hazard. Modern gambling casinos invented the game to separate tourists from their money. Serious gamblers won't play it because the payoff odds are ludicrous.
Does anyone happen know where this is mentioned in D&D? My knowledge of the game and google skills are both coming up quite short...
