 FAIR AND SQUARE
The Millenium Falcon would have never flown the Kessel Run
without a game of Corellian Spike. Nor would Bespin flourish under the
reign of Baron Lando Calrissian. Even the greatest Jedi Masters, such as
Qi-Gon Jin would gamble the life of Anakin Skywalker himself in a near
suicidal podrace on tatooine, finally winning his freedom in a simple
game of Chance.

Somehow these crazy gambles were meant to be played. Some

might say gambling is all about the greed of man, vanity of the rich or
luck of the dumb, but others might consider it fate. Some players were
meant to win, some were meant to lose – but somehow the odds were
in the heroes favor. Do you have what it takes to beat the House and be
the next legendary player?

of the page. It generally involves a competetive

This rule is an quick and easy rule that does not
take much time and can be used for almost any
game played. There are also more rules for specific
games like sabacc or hintaro, but sometimes the
player might feel like these rules might not feel
immersive enough and gambling in general feels
pretty shallow.
This is why I’ve created this Gambling Supplement,
in order to spice up the game, without having the
feeling of taking away from following the main
story. The idea is not to make a complex, time-
consuming system where you need to crunch the
numbers, but instead create in-depth variations of
the simplified Gambling Rule.
I have seen many homebrew rules that attempted
to make things more realistic, either by just playing
Texas Hold’em Poker or rolling the k100 dice with
a specific percentage of a win, which somehow

Here are the games we will be covering in this
suplement. All of these games and presented
versions are confirmed to be canon:
• Sabacc: a favorite gambling game across the
galaxy, sabacc utilizes a deck of cards. Players
attempt to reach some combination of 23 or -
23 ( or more esoteric combinations, sucha s a
natural „2” and „3”) to win. Cards can be
electronic or real, randomly shift and swap to
different cards during play. This means sabacc
is a game of bluffing and brinksmanship as
much as it is one of skill and logic, and tricks
such as counting cards are almost impossible.
• Dejarik: Dejarik, which uses a holographic
display table to project playing pieces of real
and mythical monsters, is a popular game of
skill between two players. The holographic
display allows the pieces to „do battle” as a
part of the game, and many bystanders enjoy
the holographic carnage as much a s the actual
skill the real players employ.
• Chance Cubes: Chance cubes are six-sided dice
cubes with red and blue sides. They allow for
simple bambling in which players bet on the
potential results. Their simplicity makes tchem
popular on frontier worlds or long expeditions
where more complicated entertainment would
be more likely to malfunction.
• Lugjack: a slot machine game of Chance
popular in many star systems with three or four
reels that would show a winning pattern.
• Zinbiddle: the game pitted players against each
other with cards drawn from multiple decks.
• Competition-Betting: Be it podracing on
Malastare, swoop racing on Corellia to betting
on the fastest fathier on Cantonia, race betting
is among the most popular gambling events,
usually surrounded by fanfare and legend.
Whether the winner is the smartest, fastest or
strongest – it all depends on the competition.
Who knows, maybe Gammorean Blade Rings
are your thing!
• Pazaak: an ancient game of Chance in which
players drew cards and tried to achieve a total
as close to 20 as possible without going over.
Players could alter the result of the draw by
playing special cards from a side deck. Some
casinos would allow creating a side deck at
their specialty store or allow using a personal
deck.
• Jubilee Wheel: players bet on which of the 100
numer would appear after a spin of a giant
wheel. Players placed bets on the numer they
believed the wheel would stop on, the wheel
was then spun, stopping on a numer. Any
player who picked the winning numer won the
pot. No winner would get half the pot to the
player within five of winning the numer.

 Sabacc
Sabacc was the name of a popular card game with
numerous variations, many of them including a
hard-to-beat hand also called sabacc. Often played
at high stakes, the goal of many versions of the
game was to win the sabacc pot by collecting a
hand with an absolute value closest to 23, but no
higher. A typical sabacc deck comprised 76 cards
(60 distributed in four suits plus 16 special cards),
all of which had a specific value. However, some
variants used different decks, and furthermore, in
many versions of the game the value and suit of a
card could change at random during play, unless
the card was placed in the special interference
field.

A deck of sabacc consisted of 76 cards. 60 were

distributed in four suits (Flasks, Sabers, Staves, and
Coins), with 15 cards per suit: pip cards numbered
1 through 11, plus a Commander numbered 12, a
Mistress numbered 13, a Master numbered 14,
and an Ace numbered 15. The other 16 were two
sets of 8 special cards: Balance (numbered −11),
The Idiot (0), Endurance (−8), Moderation (−14),
The Evil One (−15), The Queen of Air and Darkness Starting to the dealer's left, each player could
(−2), Demise (−13), and The Star (−17 or −10). choose to draw one or more cards from the deck
then choose to trade a card from their hand for
one from the deck, or stand.

Sabacc was a game of both skill and chance that
could be played with as few as two and as many as
eight players. Players could designate a dealer or
take turns as the dealer, rotating in a clockwise
fashion at the beginning of each hand. The object
of sabacc was to have a final hand with a total as
close to 23 or -23 as possible without going over. A
hand with a total of 24 or higher was said to
"bomb out" and lost the round. There were two
types of pot to be won in sabacc. The first one was
the hand pot, which is taken by the player who
won an individual hand. The second was the
sabacc pot, which continually built during the
game, and went to the overall winner of the
match.
The dealer started by shuffling the deck before
dealing one card to each player, including him- or
herself, in rotation. He or she would then repeat
another rotation until each player had two cards
facedown. Starting to the dealer's left, each player
then called out their beginning hand totals.
They could then choose to place a single card in
the game table's interference field to prevent said
card from being Shifted if a Sabacc Shift occurred.
If a Sabacc Shift occurred, all the cards that were
not locked in the interference field randomly
changed suits and value. That new hand was the
player's final hand for the round.
That same process was repeated by each player,
ending with the dealer. Each player then called out
his or her final hand's total. The player with the
highest hand, totaling 23 or below, won the round.
A hand of 24 or higher was said to "bomb out" and
lost. A perfect hand of 23 or −23 was called a Pure
Sabacc, and it could only be beaten by a rare and
unbeatable hand called an Idiot's Array, which
consisting of The Idiot, a 2 card of any suit, and a 3
card of any suit.
Ties were settled by use of a device generating
random numbers: the player that rolled the
highest number won.

The following rules for Galactic Standard
Sabacc can be found in the „Suns of Fortune”
Sourcebook (page 119) and „Jewel of Yaving”.
This is the most detailed rules for sabacc,
however it actually is a variation of the
Galactic Standard Sabacc, due to the deck
being 78 cards. The true Galactic Standard
Sabacc rules are seen in the „Under a Black
Sun” Sourcebook (page 27), where the deck
contains of 76 cards.
Why does this matter? Let’s take a look at the
many variations of sabacc and their
alterations to the Galactic Standard Sabacc in
Star Wars Edge of Empires.

 Chance Cubes
Chance Cubes were small cubes used for gambling.
Some types could only give two results, some
would have six (standard dice).
Many variants of the game exist, but not many
have been described in the Star Wars canon
universe. The most popular examples would be:
-The Game of Chance
-Hintaro
There are at least two other Chance Cube games
shown in The Last Jedi at the Canto Bight Casino,
one of which was played by the Master
Codebreaker, as he was not allowed to play any
other games than dice games.
Although they do not have a name, they resemble
the game of Craps, so I added a new homebrew
game called The Nephran Gamble.

Game of Chance Hintaro

The Game of Chance is a simple one. The dice are Hintaro is also a Chance Cube Game described in
have three blue and three red sides. You bet a the „Jewel of Yavin” Sourcebook. It pits player
color and roll, winning if you were right. against player hoping for the best roll. As other
Chance Cube games, it also does not require any
skill and cannot be cheated at.
This is the simplest game to play and can easily be
played with d6 dice converting:
1-3 are blue
3-6 are red
It is not mentioned anywhere, but Dice Poker
could also be another name for the Game of
Chance. It can easily be utilized as a roll of 5d6.
Then the PC would reroll any dice he liked. After
the reroll – this was the Final Hand.
The Game of Chance would always be played with
only one Betting Phase, before any Rolls. Due to
this, dice games are better off played out using
their original in-universe rules than simplified
rules.

 Dejarik
Dejarik, also known as holochess, was a popular
two-player game in which teams of holographic
creatures battled each other on a circular board.
Dejarik was played on a dejarik board, a circular
board divided into three concentric rings. The
outer and middle rings were each divided into
twelve "squares" of alternating color (black and
white), while the inner circle was a single white
area. At the beginning of the game, both players
arranged four pieces each, with pieces on the
second, third, fourth, and fifth spaces of their
respective half-boards.] There existed a version
where there were not eight, but ten pieces on the
board, however.
There existed a number of pieces from which the
players could choose their four monsters, all of
which were full-color holographic projections of
creatures both real and mythological from across
the galaxy. Available pieces included the Ghhhk,
Grimtaash the Molator, the Houjix, the Kintan
strider, the K'lor'slug, the Mantellian Savrip, the
Monnok, the Ng'ok, the Bulbous, the Scrimp, and
the karkath.
Non-holographic versions of dejarik, using physical
pieces, also existed.
Each holomonster had specific Attack, Health,
Range, and Movement ratings. A piece's Attack
(ATK) rating represented the damage it could deal
when attacking.
Gameplay
The player with initiative made the first move.
During each turn, a player could activate a piece to
do one of three things: move and attack, only
attack, or move and use a "special ability."
Moving
A piece could be moved across the board up to the
full amount of spaces indicated by its movement
rating, to any space adjacent to its own (either
around the orbit or along the ray, but not
diagonally, or into a space occupied by another
piece). A piece could not move into a space, then
immediately retreat back into the space it just left.
Its Health (HP) rating represented the amount of
damage it could sustain before being removed
from the board;
Its Range (RNG) rating indicated how far away it
could attack; finally, its Movement rating (MOV)
represented the number of spaces it could cover in
one single move. Some creatures also had "special
abilities."
The stats of the eight traditional pieces were as
follow:
Ghhhk—HP 4, ATK 2, RNG 1, MOV 2, Special
ability: Heal 1 adjacent creature to full health
Grimtaash—HP 4, ATK 2, RNG 3, MOV 1, special
ability: stuns a piece for two turns (comes with a
cooldown of one turn)
Houjix—HP 8, ATK 4, RNG 1, MOV 4

Attacking
Once a player had positioned one of their pieces in
range adjacent (on an orbit or ray, not diagonally) to
an opposing piece, they could declare an attack on
that piece. Range 1 pieces were immediately
adjacent, while greater Range pieces were farther
apart.
When attacking, the attacking player took the attack
rating of his piece and dealt that many Health
damage to the defending piece. When a defending
piece lost all its Health points, it was defeated and
thus removed from the board.
End of the game
Players continued alternating activations and
attacking pieces until there remained a single piece
on the board; the player who controlled said piece
won the game.

Lugjack
Lugjack is a game similar to a slot game. It does not
require skill, only pure luck – which is why there are
no skill rolls necessary.

Gameplay:
• A player Rolls 3d10.
• Sum between 5-10 and 20-25 = win 1:1
• Sum between 0-5 and 25-30 = win 5:1
• If all 3 dice show the same numer = Jackpot win
1000:1.

 Pazaak
There were four ways to win the set:
By outscore: After both players chose to stand, the
player with the score closest to but not over 20
would win.
By going bust: If a player ended his turn with a
score over 20, he was said to "bust," and the other
player won.
By filling the table: In some rare occasions, if a
player placed 9 cards on the table without busting,
the player would automatically win, if his/her
score ended up being 20 or under.
By using the tiebreaker card: A golden tiebreaker
card, when used last, brought victory to the user if
both players had the same score.
When a set tied, no one got a point for the set, and
a new set was played. The first player to win three
sets won the game, and whatever was being
wagered.
Pazaak had two different decks. The main (or
"table") deck was composed of cards numbered 1–
10. (The total cards in this deck was unbound,
though it tended to have four of each number.)
There was also one side deck for each player in the
game. The players themselves assembled these
decks, which had to have exactly ten cards.
At the beginning of the game, each player would
randomly select four cards from their side deck,
making up their Hand. Each player drew a card
from the main deck, with the highest card
determining who played first. Then the first turn of
the first player would start. The player would draw
a card from the main deck and play it on the table.
After that, the player could choose to either place
a card down from their hand, or to end their turn.
Only one hand card could be played per turn, and
no more cards were ever drawn from the side
deck.
When ending their turn, the player had two
options:
End Turn: If the player ended their turn, they had
to draw a new card from the main deck at the start
of the next turn. This was repeated until either
they stood, went bust, filled the table, or reached
a score of exactly 20.
Stand: If the player stood, they kept their current
sum until the end of the set and did not play any
other cards. The opponent, however, could
continue playing cards, unless he had chosen to
stand as well. Getting a sum of 20 automatically
caused a player to stand.
Once their turn was over, the next player played
their turn in the same manner. Play alternated
between the two players until someone won the
set.
The winner of the set was then first player for the
next set. In the case of a tie, whoever was not first
player for the tied set was the first player for the
next set.

 Zinbiddle
Zinbiddle is the most difficult game to explain, do
to only three known sources about it: it was shown
in the Casino in Canto Bight, it was mentioned in
„The Last Jedi: Visual Dictionary” as having multi-
colored cards and it’s mentioned in the short story
„The Ride”, part of the Canto Bight Anthology,
where one of the players was an expert in the
game. Gameplay
Here is what we know from these sources:
1. Betting Phase
-Players are playing against each other
2. Setting Dice Pool: Use Cool
-Multiple Decks are incorporated (three colors –
Gold, Silver and Vermillion)
3. Diifculty: NPC Skill or GM choice
-You can count cards
4. Cheating: Deception, Skullduggery, upgrade difficulty once
-The strongest hand would be „Ion Barrage”
5. Draw Cards: Roll Dice Pool
-The Ion Barrage needed a Vermillion Six.
-Cards have triangles that represent numbers or 6. Hit or Stay: You may roll an additional Boost and difficulty

 Competition
Betting
Gameplay:
Setting The Odds: To set the odds on our
champion, we start by making an Hard Streetwise
check. The number of successes determine the
Odds dice pool. The PC can choose to add difficulty
to the test for additional dice in the Odds dice pool
if he wins. They can also upgrade the roll for a 5%
advantage in the „And They’re Off!” phase.
PCs can make a Daunting Knowledge (Xenology)
skill check instead, however the number of
successes give additional 5% advantage to the
„And They’re Off!” phase per success.
Failures determine the number of the Ratio Dice.
After setting the Odds dice pool (d10), make the
roll. The sum is the odds against the champion, the
multiplier of our possible winnings. A Triumph
while Setting The Odds allows to reroll one die.
Roll the Ratio Dice. The Betting odds are the sum
of Odds vs the sum of Ratio.
And They’re Off!: Now it’s all up to the champion.
Roll a 1d100. The DC is 25 (an average win rate),
but it can also be set up by the GM. If the check
Rolls lower than 25, the PC wins the ratio.
27
Jubilee Wheel
Jubilee Wheel is a game similar to Roulette or a
lottery game. It does not require skill, only pure
luck – which is why there are no skill rolls
necessary.
Gameplay:
The player(s) place a bet on a numer between 1-
100. A player then Rolls a 1d100. If the numer
comes up, they win the pot of bets from all players
multiplied by the numer of rounds the game has
been played (1-5).
If there is no outright winner(s), any player whose
numer is within 5 of the numer orlled may win half
the pot straight, with the rest going to the house.
If there is no winner at all or a potential winner
elects to attempt to win a larger pot, a next round
may continue, with another bet required to be
considered eligible to win.
After 5 rounds if no winner claims the pot, the
house takes the pot, and the game starts over. If
there are multiple winners, the pot is equally split.
 Side Checks
This is an alternative option to create an
immersive environment during Gambling sessions.
It is recommended for special events or campaigns
focusing mostly on gambling and should not be
used very often, as any game will take a ton of
time.
The idea is to create a social encounter when
gambling. This can create tension, suspense, give
creative ways to gather information or simply help
the PC win the game.
These Side Checks can be played at any seperate
non-special phase during gambling. For example
Galactic Standard Sabacc has 8 phases, while
Competition Betting has 2. Games like Jubilee
Wheel or Chance do not incorporate much social
interaction, which is why they have none.
The Side Checks have been divided into three
types:
-Game Talk – checks made for recovering PC strain
or attacking other players strain
-Small Talk – checks made for continueing story
plotlines. This can be any check the PC wants that
is relevant to the story.

Game Talk:
-Let The Wookie Win: Threaten someone at the
table. Coercion vs Discipline. Number of successes
determine number of strain damage to the target.
-You Have Everything You Need There, Pal?:
Perception vs Skullduggery. On success, you catch
someone on cheating (if someone is cheating),
decreasing the difficulty. On Triumph, you can
make a Skullduggery vs Perception roll to steal his
winning card, but do not expose him. The difficulty
does not decrease, but you gain a Triumph.
-He’s Adorable: Mock someone to irritate him.
Charm vs Cool. Number of successes determine
number of strain damage to the target.
-There’s No Liars, Just Players: Cool down the
angry players, win them over. Charm vs Vigilance.
Number of successes determine number of strain
recovered. Threats recover other players strain.
-Never Tell Me The Odds: A Discipline check with
difficulty equal to failures of last failed check.
On success, gain automatic advantage on next
check.
-Sometimes I Amaze Even Myself: Boast over a
winning game. Use Triumph to recover all
strain. That Triumph does not apply to the skill
check.
-Great Kid, Don’t Get Cocky: A Cool check with
difficulty equal to successes of last won check.
On Success, recover strain equal to numer of
successes.
-That’s Two You Own Me, Junior: You strike a deal
to help each other in the game with another
player. Negotiation vs Cool. On success, you
decrease difficulty once, but share the
winnings with one other player. This counts as
cheating, so the difficulty is upgraded.

Doom At Dune Sea
This is a homebrew Chance Cubes game that is a
Star Wars version of Giants and Halflings played in
the D&D system by the Aquisitions Incorporated
team.
I thought it was an awesome gambling game for
RPG systems and really fits into the story told in
the Chapter 9 of „The Mandalorian”. I hope you
enjoy it!
The game pits Tusken Raiders against the Krayt
Dragon. In order to kill it, they need to hit it in the
Belly, but it is not an easy thing to do.
Rules:
-Dealer (Dragon) rolls 1d10, setting a target
number (Belly)
-If Dealer rolls a 1, the Dragon „Swallows” and the
House wins.
-Players (Tuskens) rolls 2d6, trying to match or
exceed the Belly
-On a double 1 roll, the Dragon sees a trap and
hides in his cave, bets push
-if the player Rolls an 11/12 (Maw), the Tuskens
are eaten and the House wins.
-players who hit the Belly exactly may split the dice
by doubling their bet. When splitting, players
roll one additional die per split and all the
normal rules apply
-the player may split a second time if they wish to
become legendary (GM’s choice of special
social event).
Payouts:
-if the Belly is 2-3, house pays 1:1
-Belly is 4-6, house pays 2:1
-Belly is 7-9, house pays 3:1
-Belly is 10, house pays 5:1
Good luck getting that pearl!
