How it's used

This term refers specifically to the common drinking game involving a cup and dice, often played in bars or at late night eateries. It is deeply associated with social drinking culture and is rarely used to describe formal gambling or board games. The game relies on bluffing and guessing the total count of dice hidden under cups.

Common mistake

Do not confuse this with general gambling or board games involving dice, as it specifically implies the social drinking game. Using it to describe a game like Monopoly would sound very strange to a native speaker.
