Doug,

I work in a Casino. Not sure what your readings wear referring to, But a "Birdcage" Now is in reference to a carring case for chips, It holds 10 racks and are generally made of clear plexiglass and used to transport chips from one location to the next. Terminalogy has a way of changing from year to year so last post in reference to the game CHUCK-A-LUCK could be correct also. Hope this helps.
