Crown and Anchor is a simple dice game, traditionally played for gambling purposes by sailors in the British Navy. It is still popular in the Channel Islands, but is strictly controlled and may only be played on certain days, such as the three annual agricultural shows.

Three special dice are used in Crown and Anchor. The dice are equal in size and shape to standard dice, but instead of one through six pips, they are marked with six symbols: crown, anchor, diamond, spade, club and heart. (The last four are the same symbols used on playing cards).

A canvas or felt mat is used for placing bets. A player can wager on one or more symbols. He then throws the three dice, and is paid by the banker accordingly. Even money is paid if one of his bets comes up, 2:1 if two, and 3:1 if three. Odds are clearly in favor of the banker.
