When Haskell and Fairmont are in the cell and talking about gambling. One of them refers to a Chuck-a-Luck "Wheel". There is no wheel in Chuck-a-Luck. Chuck-a-Luck is a dice game, it's played with three dice usually contained in an hour-glass shaped rotatable cage. Bets are placed as to what number will come up on gaming table. The game played in the film involves a wheel with pegs in between representations of all the possible 3-dice rolls, which is the wheel that is both talked and sung about. This is a variation on the original game called Big Six Wheel. Because of the distribution of the combinations, the house advantage or edge for this wheel is greater than for chuck-a-luck.
