Chinchiro is one of Japan's most popular traditional dice games. Throw three dice into a bowl and the best combination wins. If you know Cee-lo, you'll feel right at home. The app faithfully recreates the clatter of dice hitting the bowl and the way they tumble, so you can enjoy Chinchiro anytime, anywhere. ■ Two modes ・Battle Mode: place your bet and take on the CPU to see who has the better luck ・Free Mode: roll as much as you like with nothing at stake, great for parties and nights out ■ Hands (strongest to weakest) 【Pinzoro】[1][1][1]. The best hand, pays 5x 【Arashi】Three of a kind other than 1s. Pays 3x 【Shigoro】The straight [4][5][6]. Pays 2x 【Points 1–6】When two dice match, the third die is your point. [6][6][2] is 2, [1][5][1] is 5. Higher is better 【Hifumi】The straight [1][2][3]. You pay double 【Shonben】A die flies out of the bowl. The worst hand; can be turned on in Settings (0.5% chance) 【Menashi】No hand after three rolls Ranking in Battle Mode: Pinzoro > Arashi > Shigoro > points (6>5>4>3>2>1) > Hifumi > Shonben House rules for Arashi, Hifumi and Shonben vary from place to place, so in this app you decide whether Shonben can happen. ■ No tricks Every roll is decided by random numbers. You can throw by swiping, long-pressing or tapping, and the odds are exactly the same either way. ■ Secret mode Do a certain something and you'll find yourself in a very dangerous mode... ※ For entertainment only. No real money is involved. ※ The game is available in English and Japanese.
