Description

Based on the 1974-75 game show Dealer's Choice, with a stake of $100 each player participates in five games of chance. Each game has been assigned rounds in which it may be played. The player designated as the dealer for each round chooses the game from a group of 12, all used on the show. The rules for each game are written on its board.

The final round is played with the Bonus Dice. The Bonus Dice have money amounts from $50 to $200 written on eleven of the twelve faces; the twelfth face contains a spade. Each player makes a secret guess how much money the Bonus Dice will accumulate before the spade is rolled. Those who come closest without going over get their holdings doubled. The player with the most money wins.
