Hazard is a game of chance that uses dice.[1] During the Renaissance, many patrons of the Roman tavern La Volpe Addormentata often participated in and gambled upon the game.
Rules[edit | edit source]
Rolling the "Throw In" (7 or 11) automatically won the game. Rolling the "Throw Out" (2, 3 or 12) would result in losing the game, and the stake. Rolling anything else would set the number as the "Chance," and would allow for a second "Chance Roll."[2]
The Chance Roll would continue until either the "Chance" or "Main" (7) number was rolled. Rolling the Chance number automatically won the game, with a payout that changed depending on what the Chance was. Rolling the Main lost the game, and the stake.[2]
Payouts[edit | edit source]
| Roll | Payout (ƒ) |
|---|---|
| Throw In | 1:2.2 |
| Throw Out | None |
| Chance of 4 or 10 | 1:3.5 |
| Chance of 5 or 9 | 1:3 |
| Chance of 6 or 8 | 1:2.5 |
Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]
Hazards, a predecessor to craps, is a historical game of chance that has existed since at least the 14th century. However, its appearance in the Assassin's Creed series is possibly anachronistic as it was mainly played in England and did not find popularity on continental Europe until the 1700s.[1]
Winning 10,000 florins through hazard unlocked the "'High Roller" achievement.[2]
