If you know this game as Cee-lo (also spelled Cee Lo or Ceelo) or simply 4-5-6, Chinchiro is its Japanese relative: the same three dice and the same showdown of hands, with a different ranking and a Japanese name for every hand. Chinchiro is a classic Japanese dice game: you throw three dice into a bowl and the numbers they show make your hand. The numbers come from a 3D physics engine that really rolls the dice, so every throw is genuinely random. No sign-up, no install, completely free — it works straight from your phone, too. Unlike the Cee-lo it resembles, this version has no stakes: there is no real-money betting of any kind. Press “🆚 Play vs CPU” at the top left and you can match hands against the computer.

The dice sound is switched on and off with the button at the top left (it starts off on phones). While the hand banner is showing, tap again to dismiss it and move on to the next throw.
Chinchiro hands rank as follows, from strongest to weakest. The finer details vary from region to region and from group to group, but Pinzoro strongest, Hifumi weakest is the shape almost everyone agrees on.
| Hand | Dice | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| 1Pinzoro | 1-1-1 | The strongest hand: a triple 1. Usually singled out with a special payout, often five times the bet. |
| 2Arashi (any triple) | 6-6-6 to 2-2-2 | Any triple other than Pinzoro. The higher the number, the stronger. Usually pays triple. |
| 3Shigoro | 4-5-6 | The run 4-5-6. Below Arashi, above a Single. Usually pays double. |
| 4Single (6 down to 1) | e.g. 3-3-5 is a “Single 5” | Two dice the same plus one odd die. That odd die is your number: 6 is the strongest, 1 the weakest. |
| 5Hifumi | 1-2-3 | The weakest hand. A dealer who throws it usually pays double. |
| –No Hand / Shonben | None of the above / a die leaves the bowl | With no hand you throw again (usually up to three times). A die that jumps out of the bowl is Shonben, an instant loss. |
When two of the three dice show the same number, the die that is left over is that player’s “Single”. For example, 2-2-6 is a Single 6, and 5-5-1 is a Single 1. The higher number is the stronger one, so a Single 6 is the best of them and a Single 1 the worst.
Pinzoro (1-1-1) is the strongest. After it come Arashi (any triple), Shigoro (4-5-6), a Single (4-6) and Hifumi, each weaker than the last.
When two of the three dice match and the last one is different, that last number is your “Single”. For example, 3-3-5 is a Single 5, and the higher the number the stronger the hand.
Hifumi is the run 1-2-3, the weakest hand. Shonben means a die flying out of the bowl, or failing to make a hand in three throws; either way it counts as a loss.

Yes. Press “🆚 Play vs CPU” at the top left: you throw first, then the CPU, and the stronger hand wins. With no hand you can throw up to three times. Your win, loss and draw counts are saved in your browser.
Yes. A 3D physics engine (Ammo.js) actually rolls the dice to decide the numbers, so nothing is settled in advance.
