==In popular culture== There is a reference to chuck-a-luck in the [[Abbott and Costello]] film ''[[Hold That Ghost]]''. In [[Fritz Lang]]'s 1952 film, ''[[Rancho Notorious]]'', chuck-a-luck is the name of the ranch run by Altar Keane (played by [[Marlene Dietrich]]) where outlaws hide from the law. Chuck-a-luck is featured in the lyrics to the theme song and in some plot points. The game is played by Lazar in the James Bond movie ''[[The Man with the Golden Gun (film)|The Man with the Golden Gun]]''. The game is played by Freddie Rumsen in ''[[Mad Men]]'' season 2 episode 9, "Six-Month Leave". In ''[[Dragonfly in Amber]]'' the character Claire Randall describes the activity inside of an inn as having several soldiers playing chuck-a-luck on the floor along with a dog sleeping by the fire and smelling strongly of hops.
