Choboichi (チョボイチ, Choboichi) is a simple gambling game played in Japan using one covered die. The dealer shakes a six-sided die in a cup or rice bowl and then places it upside down, concealing the rolled value; after the players wager what the value will be, the dealer reveals the die by lifting the cup.

History

The game was noted to be so popular by the 18th century that an entire strip of gambling sheds one ri long, 3.75 km (2.33 mi), was dedicated to it.
