The Buckley Bones actually plays the game of craps. After depositing a coin, the player pulls the handle. The player thinks the dice shake and are tossed out and shown in the left window. If a 7 or 11 comes up, the player won. If 2, 3, or 12 comes up the player lost. Any other number and the player pushed the handle again and this time dice shot out of the right window. If the combination on the right side matched the left side, the player won. If a seven came up on the right side the player lost (crapped out!)
