Cracks and losses.
Dice games have been extremely popular since Antiquity. One such game, dating back to Roman Antiquity, was the so-called "teetotum". This was originally played with a hexagonal spinning top, the sides of which were marked with letters. As soon as a player threw a T, which stood for the Latin 'totum' (meaning all), the game was won by that player. The game became very popular in Germany in the 16th century, but was also well-known in France and England. Several versions of the game developed as well as the gaming device itself. The gaming device could also be a polygonal cube engraved with numbers or letters. (Chrisholm Hugh (ed.): Encyclopaedia Britannica, 1911, p. 503 f.)
