Chinchirorin (CHIN)
Chinchirorin is a Japanese dice gambling game where two players take turns rolling three dice in a bowl. It is a game of luck with wagering support.
How to Play
Objective
Outscore your opponent by rolling three dice and hoping for the best result.
Game Flow
- Player 1 rolls three dice (up to 3 attempts to get a scoring result)
- Player 2 then rolls (up to 3 attempts)
- Scores are compared and a winner is determined
- Gold is awarded based on the outcome
Rolling the Dice
On your turn, click the Roll button to throw three dice into the bowl. The dice tumble with 3D animation and land on random values.
Roll Results (checked in this priority order)
| Roll | What It Means | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Dice Out (4% chance) | A die falls out of the bowl | Instant loss (1x wager) |
| Storm (1-1-1) | Three ones — the worst triple | Instant loss (3x wager) |
| Low Straight (1-2-3) | Low run | Instant loss (2x wager) |
| High Straight (4-5-6) | High run | Instant win (2x wager) |
| Triple (X-X-X, not 1s) | Three of a kind (not Storms) | Instant win (3x wager) |
| Pair + Single | Two matching dice + one odd | Score = value of the odd die (1-6) |
| Dead Roll | No matches at all | No score — roll again |
Instant Results
Some rolls end the game immediately:
- High Straight (4-5-6) and Triples (not 1-1-1) are instant wins
- Storm (1-1-1), Low Straight (1-2-3), and Dice Out are instant losses
- No second player turn is needed — the game ends right there
Scoring with Pairs
If you roll a pair plus one odd die, your score is the value of the odd die:
- Roll 3-3-5 → Score is 5
- Roll 2-2-1 → Score is 1
- Roll 6-6-4 → Score is 4
Higher scores beat lower scores. If both players score the same, it's a tie.
Dead Rolls
If none of your three dice match (e.g., 1-3-5), it's a Dead Roll:
- You get to roll again (up to 3 total attempts)
- After 3 dead rolls, your score is 0
- Your turn passes to the opponent
Wager System
Chinchirorin supports gold wagers:
- Set a wager amount when creating or joining a game
- Winner receives the wager multiplied by the result type
- A 5% house cut is applied to winnings
| Result | Wager Multiplier |
|---|---|
| Normal win (higher score) | 1x |
