[…] they spun all right, or so it seemed, and hit the wall all right, or so it seemed, but bottom line was this: The stirring of the dice was merely cackling, the cubes artfully framed so that the spots in the kid's fists showed 4‐4 up‐right and weren't really rattled but rather, held in control by the pinky, forefinger and thumb; […]

high roller

/ˈhaɪ ˈɹəʊlə/

/ˈhaɪ ˈɹoʊlɚ/

They were all "high rollers" against faro, had plenty of money, and, if the cards came favorably, would "chaw up" a bank in double-quick time.

1873, [John O’Connor], “Inventors”, in John Morris, editor, Wanderings of a Vagabond. An Autobiography, New York, N.Y.: Published by the author, →OCLC, page 178:

Before long, Zarin developed a reputation as an extravagant "high roller" who routinely bet the house maximum while playing craps, his game of choice. Considered a "valued gaming patron" by Resorts, Zarin had his credit limit increased at regular intervals without any further credit checks, and was provided a number of complimentary services and privileges.

1990 October 10, Robert Cowen (Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit), Zarin v. Commissioner, archived from the original on 2017-10-19, 916 F. 2d 110:

He was a bigger net yield than any two or three girls because a satisfied woman was far more generous than a depleted john. And frequently, Rocco owed a high-roller a favor and the girl came back with nothing.

2005, Joseph Levy, High Roller: A Novel, Lincoln, Neb.: iUniverse, →ISBN, page 24:

Chief among the dire presentiments was the suggestion that the ascension of Labour to power would result in Radiohead ceasing touring and instead taking up a residency at a Las Vegas resort. The image of Thom Yorke serenading Sin City's high rollers with a rousing chorus of Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors was mind-boggling, but you could see why some press went on the offensive.

round robin

/ˌɹaʊnd ˈɹɒbɪn/

From round (adjective) + robin. Sense 1 (“senses relating to something with a round shape, or which goes around”) is connected with the word round, while sense 2 (“senses relating to people, animals, or plants”) is connected with some English regional senses of the word robin where it is used in the names of various fish and plants which are not related to the red-breasted bird. However, apart from the alliteration, it is not clear why the two words came to be linked together in compounds. It is possible that the term was first used to refer to sense 1.13.1 (“consecrated host”) which appears to be the earliest attested sense, and then extended to other senses either having the sense of round or robin.
Alternatively, it has been suggested that the term is a corruption of French ruban rond (literally “round ribbon”), referring to the practice in 17th-century France of signing on ribbons which were then attached to petitions of grievances in a circular manner: see sense 1.1. However, this etymology does not explain the senses of the term unrelated to a signed document.

(gambling) A form of bet on the full set of possible combinations from a group of events, racehorses, teams, etc., such as the outcomes A and B, B and C, and A and C from a group consisting of A, B, and C.

flat store

He had told me that in the old days in Chicago he had run a flat-store with a partner who had tuberculosis and also smoked cigars.

1962: Saul Bellow & Keith Botsford, The Noble Savage, p59 (World Pub. Co)

In shared-memory languages for parallel programming, the model is one of a global flat store equipped with various synchronization primitives.

1998, Michael Maher, Jean-Francois Puget, Principles and Practice of Constraint Programming — CP98, Springer, →ISBN, page 1, →ISBN:

The PDC uses the AD but exposes the data as a flat store, as in Windows NT.

2000: Syngress Media, Inc, MCSE Windows 2000 Server Study Guide (exam 70–215), p75 (McGraw–Hill Professional; →ISBN (10) (13))

2001: Elizabeth A. Wheeler, Uncontained: Urban Fiction in Postwar America, p139 (The Rutgers University Press; →ISBN (10), →ISBN (13)); quoting an unknown source
“It sat on the top of a steep, unpaved hill and commanded an uninspiring view of clean, gray concrete that was six lanes wide and an assortment of boxy, flat store buildings and spacious super gas-stations” (117).

These systems are often cheaper to install than conventional horizontal ducting and have the advantage over above-floor ducts that they are unlikely to be damaged by tractors unloading the flat store.

side bet

The fight lasted ten minutes and along with the championship of New Jersey, Banks won a side bet of $50.

However, even if the harm of using side bets exceeds the benefit, the parties would still have an incentive to place side bets on the outcome of the trial once the jury starts deliberating.

1997, The Journal of Legal Studies - Volume 26, page 88:

A hand can come up where the right play for the tournament is the wrong play for your side bet.

2007, David Sklansky, Tournament Poker for Advanced Players, page 117:

Craps is also worth mentioning because of the possibility of making a curious side bet in which you can bet with the house; that is, against the player throwing the dice.

2011, Alex Bellos, Alex's Adventures in Numberland, page 314:

Developing a lucrative side bet for baccarat, blackjack, craps, or roulette may be an attractive pursuit for a casino game designer because the basic game is in place; the side bet can be marketed to casinos as an add-on to a game already on offer.

2021, Mark Bollman, Mathematics of The Big Four Casino Table Games:

(gambling) A bet on some aspect of a game or competition that is not the main bet of the game or the prize of the competition; proposition bet.


hulog

From Proto-Philippine *huluʀ, from Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *huluʀ, from Proto-Austronesian *Suluʀ (“to lower, let down, as on a rope”). Compare Paiwan surur (“a taut-stretched line”), Ilocano ulog (“to descend, go down”), Bikol Central hulog, Cebuano hulog, Tausug hulug, Malay hulur (“letting go, slacking or paying out (a line)”), and Manggarai ulur (“to lower, let oneself down”).


payline

This means that to win anything, you must line up a winning combination on that center payline and on that line only.

1994, Victor H. Royer, Casino Magazine's Play Smart and Win, →ISBN:

Much like bingo, the multiple payline machines give slots players various directions that can turn them into a winner. The single payline machine has one line across the machine, which shows where the reels must line up for a winning combination to be paid. The multiple payline machine, on the other hand, has three or five lines, depending upon the machine, which give players more winning positions on the reels.

2012, Avery Cardoza, Winning Casino Play, →ISBN, page 11:

The disadvantages in multi-payline machines are that the smaller payoffs are usually very small, much smaller than on one-payline machines, and also that the top jackpot is usually paid only if you line up the proper winning symbols in the correct sequence on the bottom, or third, payline. Or the fifth payline in case of the five-line machines, or the eighth payline in case of the eight-line machines, and so on — basically, if you don't play all the paylines you cannot win the jackpotl

2014, Victor H. Royer, Powerful Profits From Slots, →ISBN, page 42:

(gambling) A line of symbols on a slot machine (horizontal, vertical or diagonal) that can win a jackpot.

tambiolo

From Philippine Spanish tambiólo, from tambo + Italian -i + Italian -olo or Spanish tómbola, from Italian tombola. Compare Tagalog tambiyolo.

The lottery during the time of José Rizal used the traditional manually operated tambiolo where numbers were drawn for the winning combinations.

2010 November 30, Perseus Echeminada, “Rizal a lottery winner in 1892”, in The Philippine Star, retrieved 2020-06-25:

A few days ago, the Manila police raided one such bingo game in the Blumentritt area. The police grabbed pieces of evidence, such as the tambiolo from which the winning numbers are taken, and cards, in the process of which there was a scuffle and the uniform of a policeman and the T-shirt of a Sangguniang Kabataan chair were torn.

2013 February 19, Neal H. Cruz, “Is bingo an illegal numbers game or not?”, in Philippine Daily Inquirer, retrieved 2020-06-25:

tambiyolo

Borrowed from Philippine Spanish tambiolo, possibly via tambo + Italian -i + Italian -olo or Spanish tómbola, from Italian tombola. Compare English tambiolo.

Bago ang lahat, Isang, pakiikot mo ang tambiyolo at bumunot ka ng numero ng tiket.

2000, Rey Edrozo De la Cruz, Mag Cruz Hatol, Tatlong manyika hanggang sa Pulburon, University of Michigan, →ISBN, page 180:

Before anything else, first, spin the tambiolo and pull out one of the numbered tickets.

Pero para sa mga normal na tao, walang kasing pait ang magpalakad-lakad sa kadiliman at tumaya sa tambiyolo ng buhay hoping na may mapuntahan at magpapatuloy sa iyo na kaibigan.

2014, Rei Lemuel Crizaldo, Boring ba ang Bible mo?, Mandaluyong: OMF Literature, →ISBN, page 37:

But for normal people, it's not as easy as walking around in the dark and betting your life on a spin of a tambiolo hoping that your friends will be there to come to your aid.

huweteng

[ˈhwɛː.t̪ɛŋ]

Borrowed from Hokkien, specifically Quanzhou Hokkien 花當／花当 (hoe-tǹg):
* 買／买 (bóe, “to buy; to purchase”) + 花當／花当 (hoe-tǹg) as per Douglas (1873/1899).
* 花 (hoe, “to spend”, literally “flower; to bloom; to blossom”) + 當／当 (tǹg, “to pawn; to take on mortgage”) according to Manuel (1948).
* 花 (hoe, “to spend”, literally “flower; to bloom; to blossom”) + 檔／档 (tòng, “space”) according to Chan-Yap (1977) while transcribing the latter character as ⟨“tn”⟩. Though in Chan-Yap (1980), she transcribed the latter instead as ⟨“tŋ̣̆”⟩ (POJ: tǹg) with a different character, 擋／挡 (tòng). However, Chinese publications in the Philippines currently use 花檔／花档 to refer to the game. According to (Wang, 1982), 擋／挡 used to be written as 當／当.
The gambling game traces back to China where it is known more popularly and historically as 花會 and has been played since Early Ming Dynasty to Late Qing Dynasty times starting in Coastal China, specifically in Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Shanghai, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Tianjin, Beijing, and spreading across Inland China and abroad and finally banned last in China since 1949. It has been made illegal in the Philippines in 1907 under American rule. In the 21st century, it is still played illegally in secret in China and the Philippines under the informal economy of both countries, but government-run lotteries are used to regulate and compete against the illegal private practice.
See also wahoy with Zhangzhou Hokkien 花會／花会 (hoa-hōe) and Xiamen Hokkien 花會／花会 (hoe-hē).

(gambling) jueteng (an illegal Chinese numbers game lottery of number pairs from 1 to 37 on balls or raffle ticket papers stored in either a tambiolo container which is spun or a bottle-shaped or small-necked phial receptacle which is shaken, then the winning number is drawn after all bets are submitted)
