You analyze the mahogany box and sense that the creator has provided the following information: The Chance Box is a portable gambling game for silvers. To play, put the box on the floor to establish ownership and deposit silvers into the "House Bank," which can hold between 400 and 2 billion silvers. Others may then bet and spin the discs for a chance to win. While on the floor, the box will remain safe for about 15 minutes after gaming ends. Only the owner may pick it up, and doing so clears ownership. The House Bank must be empty first. READ the box for gameplay and payout information.

In the Common language, it reads:
THE CHANCE BOX
This game is simple. Tap the discs on the other side to set them spinning for a chance to win silvers based on
the symbols they reveal.
Most symbols represent a specific town. The three smaller discs contain landmarks, mascots, and wildcards.
The larger disc is a bonus and contains celebrities. Bad wildcards do nothing, while good ones match to other
symbols.
At least two symbols must match to win. A mixed match occurs when symbols do not match but represent the
same town. Payouts are increased by matching to the nearest town.
A House Bank must be established by the owner before play begins. Bets cannot exceed one-fourth of its
holdings and the minimum bet is 100 silvers.
Symbols involved in a winning outcome are highlighted. A "+" marker indicates a town match.
