This game, like many of the games played in saloons and gambling dens were shunned by the professional gambler. A professional gambler would not lower himself to play a game of chance such as Grand Hazard, Chuck-A-Luck, Keno, and Roulette. These games were left to the inexperienced and uneducated man. In fact, the term tinhorn gambler was coined by professional gamblers referring to the unskilled cowboys who played Chuck-A-Luck. In the beginning instead of a fancy cage the dealer used a horn-shaped object made of tin to throw the dice through, thus Tinhorn Gambler.
