Default Re: Why Dice in poker chip sets?

The reason

Did you read the rules for that game? They sound AWFUL.

For one thing, there's 5 dice of each "suit", so the chance of a "flush" is really really small. On the other hand, the rank of each "card" is a die roll, so they're independent. That means full houses (and quads) are a lot easier.

It looks like all the convenience of actually playing poker, except there's lots of "blind drawing" of dice, and awkward cups to hold them, combined with bad math. Count me in!
