Mexico (game)

	Mexico (game) Mexico is an elimination-style dice game, in which several players agree to play a set number of rounds. After each round, the losing player pays into a common pot of money. When all players but one have been eliminated by losing all their money, the remaining player wins the game and the pot. Owing to its extremely simple play-structure, it is generally pursued as a method of gambling, whereby the final remaining player wins the amount of money wagered by each person who was eliminated in earlier rounds. Scoring is identical to the dice game Mia (aka "Mexicali Dice" or "Mexican Liars"), but Mia has very different game mechanics, as it is a variant of the drinking game liar's dice. The game Bidou (aka "Montevideo") has a similar scoring system, but uses three dice instead. Equipment The game requires two six-sided dice and a surface upon which to roll them. Ideally, this surface will have a barrier of some sort on at least one side, off of which to bounce the dice during rolling ...

Gambling thus requires three elements to be present: consideration (an amount wagered), risk (chance), and a prize. The outcome of the wager is often immediate, such as a single roll of dice, a spin of a roulette wheel, or a horse crossing the finish line, but longer time frames are also common, allowing wagers on the outcome of a future sports contest or even an entire sports season. The term "gaming" in this context typically refers to instances in which the activity has been specifically permitted by law. The two words are not mutually exclusive; ''i.e.'', a "gaming" company offers (legal) "gambling" activities to the public and may be regulated by one of many gaming control boards, for example, the ...

	Bidou Bidou and the closely related Montevideo are dice games which are scored according to the combination of three rolled dice; each player rolls their set of three dice simultaneously, then checks their values while keeping them concealed from other player(s) beneath a cup. Each player then wagers into a common pot, based on their roll, before revealing the dice to the other player(s); players may bluff to hint or mislead others about the strength of their concealed roll, similar to the gameplay of poker. History The origins of Bidou are unknown; in 1934, George Gaylord Simpson wrote it appears to have been invented in the early 20th century, bearing superficial resemblances to poker, but was unknown in the United States. Jack Botermans calls it a European game, while earlier sources from the mid-20th century trace it to the coastal cities of South America (Argentina, Peru, or Punta Arenas, Chile).
