The ancient game of Triangle:
This game has been known since the stone age and is probably one of the oldest and simplest gambling games ever invented:
a) Three people sit in a triangle; players 1, 2 and 3.
b) Player 1 thinks of either the colour red or blue.
c) The other two players make a guess as to which colour Player 1 is thinking of.
d) Their guesses must be different - One player must guess red, the other blue
e) Player 1 must then say which person guessed right.
f) Then it is player 2's turn to think of red or blue and, after that, it will be player 3's.
g) The role of thinker rotates twice around the triangle so that every player has had 4 chances at guessing.
h) The person who makes the most right guesses out of 4 wins the game.
i) If there are 2 winners then the player that lost just picks one of them to be winner.
j) Square, Pentagon, etcetera varieties - If you want to play with 4 people which is called Square, you need to have 3 options for the thinker to think of; with 5 people, it must be 4 options. Aslong as there are more than two players and 1 less option than the number of players the game will work.
The Game of Fractions - A Fraction based lottery game
a) Within an opaque bag there are balls and upon each ball there is a fraction - either a whole, half, a 3rd or a quarter.
b) A player reaches into the bag taking out balls.
c) If the first ball they draw from the bag is 1 whole they win the game.
d) If the first ball they draw from the bag is a half then they have to draw out either another half or 2 quarters.
e) If the first ball they draw out is a quarter then they have to draw either 3 more quarters or one quarter and a half.
f) If they draw out 1 third then they have to draw out 2 more thirds.
g) In other words, if the value of the balls that they draw out equals more than one whole, they lose.
