Chuck-A-Luck (Posted on 2020-10-22) Difficulty: 2 of 5
Chuck-A-Luck is a carny game in which 3 dice are tossed. You pick a number from 1 to 6. If one of the dice shows your number you gain the value of your bet; if two of the dice show your number you gain twice the value of your bet and if three of your number show, you gain three times the value of your bet. Otherwise you lose the amount you bet.

What is your expected loss for each game?

Any game that has dice in it is a game of probability and luck. You can take a papernow and write all the possibilities and play a game that way. Or you can just have fun and try to make way for what comes.
