Scanning a newly acquired lobby card this afternoon that I like a lot. Arty-Farty as all get out and Dick Powell lookin' all cool and swavaaay. The lady in yellow at the craps table went on to lend her hat to Spy Vs. Spy in Mad magazine. Cross referenced this paper in Leonard Sneir's Gambling Collectibles: A Sure Winner where I found that the folks are playing hazard at the table lower left... and it's got chips!

Hazard, what's that? According to Fulller's Guide, hazard was a licensed game in Nevada once upon a time. Looked it up in Scarne's Complete Guide To Gambling and found out that it is a game that uses three dice. You make assorted goofball bets and the dealer drops the dice into some sort of chute dealie, they come tumbling out and guess what...you lose! So sorry. Different kinds of bets but the payouts make 6:5 blackjack look like a good deal. This screwjob game is French in origin, go figure. Well of course the chute was gaffed! The game evolved into craps and folks who worship things French migrated to NPR and hazard lost ground to Big 6 and Money Wheel.

Wonder if anyone has run across a dedicated hazard chip like faro chips or roulettes?
