The game, which they have named POSO! (an acronym for Payouts On Selected Outcomes), is to be played in the following manner. A player will select two different values from 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. Two dice are then rolled. If the first number the player selected comes up on at least one of the two dice, the player wins $5.00; if the second number the player selected comes up on both of the dice, the player wins $10.00. If neither of these
