"Seven come eleven baby, Bruni needs a new Carson City Silver dollar!"
Look what I picked up at my local coin shoppe last week, a vintage set of oversized bones and an old leather thrower. I couldn't find any markings on the dice or the thrower, but I can tell by the thick leather, that it's old.
I used to roll them bones in high school, but not so much any more. Poker is my addiction of choice, but not that Texas Hold'em crap. I'm not a good liar, so going all in, on an unsuited 2 - 3, wouldn't work for me.
Sometimes when I go to Vegas, I'll still shoot Craps downtown, but not for a long time. Maybe a couple times around the table, in hopes that someone has an extra long streak. Plus, I can count the number of times that I've left Vegas a winner on one hand. 🤘

thanks @fireawaymarmot
You have mentioned the dice and Vegas which has reminded me of my trip to Las Vegas in mid-1983. I was on a biz trip to America to witness a machine commissioning. My colleague and I took a detour to Las Vegas after the official trip.
I still remember, I hang around with a slot machine ( black-Jack ) and I strike a Royal Flush when the bell rang. "He hit the jackpot", I heard someone say aloud.
I was not sure what was going on but no coin was out from the machine. Then a casino staff came to me and brought me to a counter ( I think ) and show me how much I got for the royal flush. And I heard him saying, "if you play with a quarter, you will be rich". I was playing with the smallest coin I think is called a nickel.
I could not remember how much did I get but that was something strike me as that was the first time I enter a casino and play with slot machine
Anyway, this freewrite prompt ( and a few previously) took me back to my younger days. Keep writing ....
Cheers

Really, you never heard the term "roll them bones", I believe that some of the first die were made from bone. At least that's what I was told.
