I also looked up some more medieval betting games…
Riffa
Book of Dice “libro delos dados”
King Alphonso X
1251
A “3 dice game.” The first player rolls until he rolls a pair, then he re-rolls the third die. The points on all three dice are then totaled, highest score wins.
Raffle
Sports and Games of Medieval Cultures
Sally Wilkins
Greenwood Press (April 30, 2002)
Wilkins calls raffle “a three-dice game that might be considered the ancestor of the modern slot machine” (p.114). To play raffle, all that’s needed is three dice. The object of the game is for players to take turns rolling the dice until a player gets all three dice to come up with the same number.
Marlota
Book of Dice “libro delos dados”
King Alphonso X
1251
A “3 dice game.” Each player rolls the other players “nick” with three dice (a total between 7 and 14). Then each player in turn rolls to try an get his own “nick” to win, but if he rolls his opponent’s “nick” he loses.
Pair & Ace
Book of Dice “libro delos dados”
King Alphonso X
1251
Players first cast three dice to decide who rolls first (highest total wins). If a player rolls a pair and an ace (one) he wins, and if not his opponent tries. The first to roll a combination of pair with an ace wins.
Novem Cinque
1552
A manifest Detection of Diceplay
The name of this very simple game translates as “nine - five” and it describes the “Outs” for the game. It requires two dice, and any number of players. The players each place equal wagers, and then take turns casting the dice. Rolling a five, or a nine is an Out. That player is out of the game, and loses his money. Play continues around the table, eliminating players who roll five, or nine. The winner is
the last person remaining who has not thrown an Out. The stakes can be raised at any time by mutual agreement of the remaining players. If all players should roll Outs on the first time around the table, no one wins, and the game is replayed.
Le Drinquet
Medieval French Dice Game
“Wurfel und Wurfelspiel im alten Frankreich”
This is a two-player game and the players agree at the beginning of the game to use one, two, or three dice. The game takes place on a checkers, or chessboard with one player taking the white squares, and the other the black squares. In order to count, a die must land on the player’s color with no portion of the die trespassing on any of the opponent’s squares. Only dice that land entirely within your own color are scored. The scores on legal throws are totaled, and the first player to reach 101 points wins.
