In these games, one generally draws marked ostraca from an urn, with one result or another. - (Avengers of Gor, Chapter 27, Sentence #78)

Once the tarsk-bit is placed, the cups are rapidly shifted about, making it difficult to determine beneath which cup the tarsk-bit now resides. A skilled game master can, by sleight of hand, should he be so minded, remove the tarsk-bit from the cup and, if challenged, seem to retrieve it from beneath a different cup. There were also 'Urn Games', playable for different amounts. In these games, one generally draws marked ostraca from an urn, with one result or another. In one 'Urn Game', even numbers of red and black ostraca are placed in an empty urn. One chooses a color and then, if one draws two ostraca of that color from the urn, one doubles one's money. In such an arrangement the odds are clearly unfavorable to the player who, mathematically, has only one chance in four of winning. - (Avengers of Gor)
